Always A Princess / NAC #43 / MDS Today Back in the Game

Hey y'all. Happy Saturday. Just a quick post today, although that seems to be all I've been doing lately. Hopefully that will be changing soon. It's a migraine kind of day around here today and that's topping off an awful week. Heck I didn't even get out of bed until 4 this afternoon. But, I've missed 2 NAC challenges now & I even played from my hospital bed so what's a little migraine between friends, huh?

My baby girl Eribella has gone with her Mommy and Daddy off to California so I'm a sad, sad GiGi. *tear* *lots of tears actually* so I used this week's challenge over at Nacho Average Challenge to make a card that reminded me of my little princess. For those of you that don't know, her nickname is "Nacho" and believe it or not it was actually inspired by the NAC site and challenge #39. You can read more about it here. I purchased this download earlier this week to make a cardboard baby book of her favorite things and I think it was just perfect for this week's challenge. It took me 20 minutes to create and truth be told, and you guys know I tell it like it is, there's NO WAY I could have made this card in real life in 20 minutes. MDS to the rescue again. Here's this week's challenge card, it's another great one from my friends over at NAC-

I used the Topsy Turvy Kit. I wasn't so sure I liked it when I first saw it in the catalog but now I'm a big fan & the MDS kit is sooooo cute. Lots of extras. Here's the sketch I was working with. I kept to it, just adding the sentiment.

And because I can't talk about my little princess and not share a picture of her, because let's face it that's what GiGi's are supposed to do. Right? Here's she is at her first little Photo Shoot at 3 1/2 weeks old-

Couldn't you just eat her up with a big ole spoon!?!?!

Well, that's all I have for you today. I hope you liked my project and I hope it inspires you to try MDS when you're running short on time and need something fabulous. If you liked today's project or have questions about it, I hope you'll leave me a comment in the space below. I love hearing from you and read all of your comments. They really do make my day!

Bath Time / Nacho #41/ MDS Today

Pin It
Hey y'all. Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week and are looking forward to a fabulous weekend. I'm going to S.U's Baltimore Regional and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am! I've never been to a Regional before and it's leading up to my first convention, so that just makes it even better!

This is a really quick post because I have to go get things ready. First off, let me say I feel like a real bad friend to everyone but especially to my friends over at Nacho Average Challenges. I have not missed a single challenge with them, until last week that is. 39 weeks and week 40 hit and about 2:00 in the morning I realized what had happened. I will say that I think my excuse is pretty special. My new grand baby Eribella moved in with me last week at less than 1 week old and she and her parents are only staying here for 2 more weeks before they move all the way across the country to California. So, needless to say, I've been a little wrapped up in her, as she has been wrapping me around her itty-bitty-pinkies.

I wanted to make sure I did something this week though. I was going to try and combine last week's colors with this weeks challenge and even had a card idea in mind but simply ran out of time so back to good ole MDS. And last night's Bath-time Adventure gave me just the picture I needed.  Here's my take on this week's sketch. hope you enjoy it-

I hope you'll forgive an indulgent GiGi
 the use of the X-Large picture so you can really see  the details. :)

Here's the sketch I was working with-

I took just a few liberties with the sketch by changing it to a square and moving the sentiment to the bottom instead of the side. Since the sketch is supposed to be a jumping off point I hope the Fabulous ladies over at NAC won't hold it against me too much. There's still a little time to play along so I hope you'll take a little time and join us. I'm really going to try and not miss anything more challenges over the next two weeks but boy it's soooooo hard not spending EVERY SINGLE WAKING MOMENT of the day with my precious little one while she's still here.

Gratuitous Extra Pic :)
