Yesterday I mentioned that my project today would use My Digital Studio (MDS) from Stampin’ Up! When I decided to make water bottle labels for my daughter’s Baby Sprinkle, I went searching on the internet to find out how to even get started. I did find a website where it was explained and a Power Point template was included. When I tried to make changes to the file, I will admit, I was just lost. I couldn’t figure out how to make changes to make the label my own.
Then I remembered that if I used MDS, I would probably be able to purchase the paper I had been using for the favors in a digital download. Sure enough, the paper was available and I was able to make my water bottle label, in Stampin’ Up! style! Once I completed the labels, I printed them off on my home printer!
I took the labels off of the water that I bought, wrapped my Baby Sprinkle label around the bottle and then applied a long strip of shipping tape around it. I wanted to be able to put the water in the refrigerator overnight and still have the label intact. It worked beautifully!
If you would like to try My Digital Software, you can “purchase” a FREE 30 day trial. You can find it in the product list below. The software and design tools in this program allow you to create cards, photo books, calendars and much more. It can be purchased as a digital download or with a disc.
My daughter’s mother-in-law, Mary, makes a delicious punch. I asked if she would make it for the sprinkle and she graciously said that she would. Erin requested that it be blue. Don’t you think Mary did a great job? It was delicious, especially with the ice cream floating on the top!
I’ll have another project for you tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by today!

It was a busy weekend for me! As I mentioned last week, I threw a Baby Sprinkle for my daughter, Erin, on Saturday. She is expecting her second child, a little boy in April! I can hardly wait to meet my grandson! I haven’t had a chance to post to my blog recently as I’ve been busy preparing for the Sprinkle! Over the next few days I would like to share some of the items I made!
My first picture (above) has nothing to do with Stampin’ Up! but I thought it turned out so cute! I placed ducks in small containers that I filled with blue pebbles. I found this idea on Pinterest.
Here are the favors that I made! We gave each guest hand lotion, hand sanitizer and a chocolate cigar wrapped up in one of our Tag a Bag Gift Boxes. It all fit inside perfectly! I used paper from the Brights Designer Series Paper Pack in Pacific Point around each side of the box. The box comes with an acetate sleeve that slides right on so it isn’t necessary to use ribbon but I wrapped it up with a bow (non Stampin’ Up!). Using the same paper that I used on the sides, I cut out a 2″ circle and used that as my base for the sentiment which comes from the set Painted Petals.
I also used My Digital Studio (MDS), digital software, for the Sprinkle. I’ll share one of those projects tomorrow! Have a great day!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’m throwing a Baby Sprinkle (fun name for a shower for a second baby) for my daughter this weekend. I spent this past weekend making some things for it. I will share those projects with you after the shower!
Last week my friend, Cheryl, who also happens to be on my Stampin’ Up! team, came over to my house. She had commented on the notepads I made during the blog hop (click here to see them) so I pulled out a notepad for her and this is what she created! Isn’t it pretty!?!!
Cheryl used the Designer Series Paper, Best Year Ever, which you can earn FREE with a $50 order. It pairs nicely with Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral cardstock. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Hello There, which is a hostess set. There are two ways to earn this set:
1. Place your own personal order of $150 and you’ll receive $25 in Hostess Dollars. This set can be purchased with those free dollars! You would also earn THREE Sale-a-bration items! Sale-a-bration is over on March 31st, so if you have a long wishlist, you can receive many freebies with your $150 order.
2. Host a party and once the sales hit $150, you as the hostess will earn Hostess Dollars.
If you have any questions about Cheryl’s notepad cover, don’t hesitate to ask!
Have a great day!

I made a card very similar to this one the other day. My card today is all about a beautiful shade of green – Wild Wasabi! I paired it up with a sheet of paper from the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper pack. This card was given to a customer who placed an order this month!
My sentiment comes from the set And Many More. If you are looking for a versatile stamp set, this is it!
And Many More
Wood #134273
Clear #134276
Tip: When making this card, make several at a time. When you cut out your butterfly, you will use that same piece you cut it out of, for the front of the card. Your butterflies and card fronts will be ready when you are to create a card.
Thanks for stopping by! Go create!
