Stampin' Chez Moi

I haven't posted since before I left for Convention...and it was fabulous! What a great experience I had at my first SU Convention!!! Met many wonderful ladies ~ great time of teaching ~ unbelievable ideas ~ and now to implement all that I have learned! Before we left I was working on some MDS pages for our grandsons...and while we were away, I began another book ~ Utah Bound 2013!  Dean & I road tripped to Utah and had the BEST time ever! We decided to take all the back roads and stay off the Instate all they way there.  What a great idea! We drove through the small towns, met wonderful people and saw the most beautiful sights ever! God's wonderful creation left us speechless so many times! Here are some of the pages that I have created thus far ~ I'm not the most creative when it comes to scrapbooking, I just really enjoy putting it together and allowing the pictures and a bit of journaling tell the story ~ I hope you enjoy my pages! ...

So many more pages to go...but I'm thrilled to have completed another page for Seth's book! Here is the sketch that I followed from MDS Monday ! This is actually a card sketch, but was perfect as I wanted to highlight a photo of Seth & I. I'm really enjoy playing with MDS, so much to learn though. I'm hoping to really hone this skill as I love technology and would love to have an MDS class added to my monthly schedule ~ we'll see how it goes! Here's my take on this sketch...and I coloured the world, which was another part of the challenge! This was taken in 2009 in our back yard against a large barn wall the Dean built as a feature in what we call 'the back 40'. We live on an acre and a half, so compared to the city lots, we live on a huge acreage...hence the back 40! If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would love to come and stamp with you and your friends!! Or, if space is an issue...

Welcome to my very first MDS Challenge ~ a real learning curve for me and I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing along with the challenge at MDS Monday ! Pop in on them...you'll be so glad that you did! Here's the sketch that we were to follow....having never done these before, I hope I followed properly! We love camping with our kids and grandsons...this is a page showcasing a trip we took with our grandson a few years ago!  I'm hoping to finish a scrapbook for Seth for Christmas...this one is page 10...I did the other pages with my own sketches as well as some of the templates found on MDS...but when I saw this, I knew I just had to give this a go...so glad that I did...thanks for the sketch and a great starting point. Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you enjoy this little journey with me! Have a wonderful day! If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would love to come and stamp with you and your friends!! ...
