Welcome to Stampin' Addicts Sale-a-bration Blog Hop where you will find all kinds of creative ways to use your new Sale-a-bration Stamp Sets, My Digital Studio CD's and fun embellishments! Stop by and let us know what you think about the hop!!

If you are hoping in order you just came from Mickey's site Paper Conversation where she showed off some super cool ideas using the set Language of Friendship ... I'm not a big bird fan but boy were those cute!!

Today I will be sharing some projects I made using the One Big Sale-A-Bration My Digital Studio Cd. I had a lot of fun playing with this set and using all the different things available on this Cd!!

This card is almost all made using only my MDS but I did make into a hybrid card ... I have this thing where I just need dimension!! I created the top layer in MDS by using the set Sprinkled Expressions using the stars and smile saying, then some of the accessories from the Everyday Enchantment pack, (the brad and ribbon). I then printed it out and layered it with some basic black cardstock as well lucky limeade and daffodil delight. Of course it needed a bit of sparkle so I added iridescent ice to all the stars which made them a little darker. The finished card measures 5 x 5 1/2.

Another hybrid card!! For this card I used the set Fresh Vintage and created the image in several shapes and colors .... I love calypso coral with neutral tones!! I printed that out and layered it with basic black cardstock then attached it to a calypso coral base. I added some ruffled ribbon and stamped my saying which I punched and layered using my circle punches. Easy Peasy!! This finished card is the standard size.

This is the last hybrid card I created and I wanted to recreate the door showing off the Home Sweet Home decor element stamp. Of course a door is not complete without those packages that Mr. Brown drops off for us!! I used the set Workshop Words to make the one big box and just some soft suede to make the smaller boxes. This card measures 4 1/4 x 3.

My last project I made a 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbook page. This one was pretty easy just used several "sheets" of Everyday Enchantment DSP and added a few Everyday Enchantment accessories. Popped in a few pictures and bam it's done!!

If you want to see more ideas using this wonderful my digital studio CD just wait until you see the projects Deb has in store for you on her site Heartfelt Inkspiration!! Happy Stamping!!

Display Boards - Best Friends Forever

Here is the first project I am sharing for the stamp set Best Friends Forever that I made for the display boards.

I wasn't all that fond of this set and really had to work out of my comfort zone to make projects using it. As I've told you all before I lived in a household full of males so of course that's who I scrap. I kept trying to figure out how I was going to make a masculine page using this set and boy was it a process! But I think I pulled it off. This page is 8 1/2 x 11 and I picked the color scheme from the colors of the pictures. I stamped the main flourish image using the rock and roll technique then added the friend saying. I decorated the "tag" with circles, twine and some sponging. For the mat of the photos I used my vintage wallpaper embossing folder. Yup that piece is bigger than what you can run through the big shot! It was still really easy to do though I just put one corner of my paper into the folder and used my small hammer to emboss it and moved to each corner to get the entire surface covered. Just be careful you don't want to break your folder if you hit to hard.

In the pictures are my Son and his Best Friend Michael. They have been best friend since kindergarten. Today Michael could use all the prayers he can get as today we are burying his Mom who passed in a tragic manner last Wednesday.

Display Stamper Project #7 - Paisley Prints

I still have two more projects to share using Paisley Prints before I move on the next set.

This page was 8 1/2 x 11. Not my usually scrapbooking size at all, but I like how it came out. These were pictures of my boys when went out for a hike along the trails at Snowbowl. Happy Stamping!

Vintage Vogue Scrapbook Page

Here is the last item I sent in for the Display Stamper application and it was my favorite. I actually almost did not send it because I wanted to keep it and frame it. Guess I will have to make another one!!
The page is a 8 1/2 x 11 which not a size I normally do but now that I have I might do them more often! Actually I need to just scrapbook more often ... I haven't in too long. The picture is my Hubby and I, a rare photo to begin with and my little one took it. He's is getting much better a photography!! My favorite part of this page is the side detail which you can see here in a close up. I made the flowers using my eyelet border punch giving them a more elegant vintage feel. So what do you think?

Happy Stamping!!
