More Dresses

Here's the rest of the dresses.  This dress is simple with just a quick stamp on the side.  I thought the ribbon would be a cute scarf!
The impressions folder made this PERFECT for a wedding dress :)

The Impressions folders can also make a cute belt.

I made the collar on this dress with a circle punch and a scallop circle punch.

The bottom of this dress is a doily simply wrapped around the dress.

Super simple ideas and easy! :)  Order your supplies here.

Chevron Dress

When I first saw the Dress Up Framelits in the Spring Mini, I figured there was no reason to even order it.  Well, fast-forward a few months, and I couldn't resist!!!!!  I decided to feature this month's technique on this specific set of framelits.  It's awesome.  Chevron dresses are so very popular right now so I decided I wanted to use a technique to create the Chevron imprint on my dress.  I love the Pool Party color...it's so trendy right now as well (just like the Chevron) so I had to use them together.  I wanted the two-tone look so I cut out the dress with the framelit.  Then I inked the inside of the Chevron Impressions Folder with a brayer using the Pool Party pad.  I laid the dress on top of the ink, closed up the folder, and rolled it through the Big Shot.  Isn't it ADORABLE?!?!?
I added a little ribbon around the waist and added a "pearl" necklace on the dress frame.  You could use these framelits for SO many occasions.  I have a lot more dress creations to share.  Check back tomorrow for more FUN ideas with these framelits.


Order your supplies here.
Cardstock:  Pool Party, Whisper White, Crumb Cake
Ink:  Pool Party
Stamps:  On Your Birthday
Accessories:  Big Shot, Dress Up Framelits, Small Oval Punch,7/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Pearl Basic Jewels, Dimensionals, Sponge

Color REFRESH!!!!!!


Announcing our Color Refresh! We love color and we know that you do too. Color is fundamental to who we are and what we offer. It's important for us to stay up-to-date with color trends so we are thrilled to share our updated line of colors, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!  We are welcoming back some of your favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand-new color, so take a look!

Beginning on April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period. We did anticipate increased demand and based our forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information from previous color transitions. However, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone--including you in your own business and personal purchases. We encourage you to let your customers know that any of our retiring color products are only available while supplies last so they can get their favorites and look forward to the exciting colors coming in the 2013-2014 annual catalog. And also announced today, free shipping is going on April 6-8, 2013, which would be a great time for you to get your favorites before they are gone! (Free shipping is for North America only.)

Now for a product update...
Due to unforeseen problems with our supplier for Watercolor Wonder Crayons and Watercolor Pencils, we have decided to discontinue these two products. Watercolor Pencils (item 101879) and Watercolor Wonder Crayons Brights Collection (item 119804), which have been on the Backorder Report for about a week, will no longer be available, effective immediately. If your order has not been shipped due to its status in backorder, we will not be able to fill it. We will soon begin processing refunds for these items. Keep in mind that it may take a few days to see the reimbursement in your account.  Now for the good news! We still have the remaining collections of the Watercolor Wonder Crayons available to order. The Subtles (item 119802), Neutrals (item 119805), and Regals (item 119803) Collections are only available while supplies last. Get 'em before they're gone!

April Fool's Day


Our house has a lot of fun playing pranks on April Fool's.  I wanted to document our fun day with pictures this year so I created this page to document it.

1.  Dave took the door knob off J.R.'s door.  So when it's shut there's no way to get out unless you know to use a screwdriver (or the door knob) to put in the hole to turn it.  I wouldn't let him close it during the night because J.R. does wake up during the night to use the bathroom sometimes.  At 3 a.m., I was glad we hadn't shut the door because he got up.  He used the bathroom but then proceeded to try and trick us by going back to his bed.  He went back to the bathroom to play a prank but I sent him back to bed.  A half hour later, we heard him again crawling around in our room (he had plans to face paint a mustache on Dave)....he got sent back to bed.  Needless to say, when he woke up and found his door this way, he wasn't very happy....especially because he hadn't been able to do any of his well-thought out pranks yet.
2.  I taped the girls' door frame.  They giggled in the morning and thought it was hilarious!  They actually left it like this all day so they had to crawl under the bottom tape in and out of their room.  They thought it was hilarious :)
3.  Sierra put hair mousse in the handle of the door.  It didn't get me  :)
4.  Sierra proceeded with more mousse on the towels.  The only place she actually got me was in the sleeves of my robe...I wasn't expecting that one.
5.  Sydney TOTALLY got me with tape at the bottom of the fridge.  Since I saw the mousse, I cleaned that up and then proceeded to open the fridge...and it was stuck shut.  This same trick got me last year!  
6.  Sierra added food coloring to the ice.
7.  Sierra added food coloring to the water pitcher.
8.  When I went to brush my teeth, I knew something was suspicious because they were all too well placed in the toothbrush holder so I rinsed my brush before brushing...sure enough soap.  (Apparently, Dave & I both had soap added to the top of our deodorant but neither of us noticed.
9.  Sierra added food coloring to the milk.  Once it was off the top of the container, it actually looked like chocolate milk.
10.  I totally got J.R. by telling him he had a phone call when he was in the shower.  He quickly got dried off and answered the phone.  It was hilarious.  I realized I'm not a good prankster...I could not hold in my laughter!!!
11.  Brown Es!  This idea I got from pinterest.  I cut out Es and then put them in a pan with foil over the top in the outside fridge.  J.R. was going over to a friend's house so I told him he could take them with him.  He realized before he took them what they were and decided to take them and try and get his friend.  He totally got her!  They decided to snack on the "brownies" he brought while their pizza cooked.  Apparently, an hour later he actually had to explain about them because she didn't get it :)
12.  J.R. wiped Dave's glass for dinner down with lemon juice.  Unfortunately, Dave didn't even notice.  It gave the rest of us the giggles knowing what was on the glass.
13.  Syd came out for dinner like this.  She claims that she fell asleep while Sierra did this.  They are too funny!
14.  J.R. took the batteries out of Dave's alarm clock as his last trick of the day.
15.  Dave decided to play one last prank and set J.R.'s alarm clock for 10:40 p.m.  We went to bed...the prank was really on Dave, though, because J.R. hasn't learned to wake up to an alarm clock yet so Dave had to get up and turn it off.

So glad I had MDS to create this quick page!  Order your supplies here.
