Bachelorette Andi

I’m warning you.

If you recorded the Bachelorette two nights ago and still have not watched it…

…go watch it and…DO….NOT…READ…ANY…FURTHER!

But chances are you already know the results…

…or you live in a different solar system!

This is my first season ever watching the Bachelor franchise. I know. Hard to believe. And I’m sorry if you are a big Bachelor fan, but it is likely to be the last season I watch it too. My sister was visiting when the season started and wanted me to watch the first episode with her or the second, or both. I can’t remember.

That’s the problem with reality shows – or the good thing, if you are the producer – they suck you in. Because they are REAL people, hence the ‘reality’ in reality show, it doesn’t take long to care about the people and want to know what happens to them. So I watched the end of the season and …

…I loved the outcome!

Therefore, this..

…For Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray

(To see how I made this in MDS click here and if you know how I can send this engagement gift to them send me a message. haha)

I think they are adorable and I love their positive energy. Best of all, it reminded me of my engagement to my husband – minus the beautiful setting, beautiful clothes and beautiful people – which is a super sweet memory.

And the way Josh ended up in a puddle of sweat when he proposed…oh my…that was just like my Ron. You should have seen him the day we got married. Ron said he wasn’t nervous but the puddle he was standing in when the ceremony was over said otherwise.

It’s been 20 years for us, and I hope that Andi and Josh enjoy their next 20 years as much as we have. I would show you a picture from our wedding but I haven’t found them since the move. oops.

Digital Tuesday – Important Moment Scrapbooking

big sister baby announcement stampingjulie.com — A Split Second Designer Template – Digital Download
#132562 $2.95

This week my daughter announced her new baby due in November with these cute pictures of my granddaughter holding a chalkboard sign declaring her upcoming status as ‘Big Sister’! So cute!! And so exciting! And ‘Big Sister’ has a new cousin coming in October, so this November baby will be grandbaby #5! Wow – I feel so blessed!

We all know it’s important to document family milestones. And we know that scrapbooking is a fantastic way to do it, but sometimes we don’t scrapbook these events because of our perfectionism. We don’t want to do it unless we can do it ‘right.’ I guess that’s one of the many things I LOVE about MDS. I can do it, do it ‘right’ and do it FAST!

With traditional scrapbooking I would have spent a couple of hours creating a layout for these pictures, but with MDS this layout took me 10 minutes!! I selected the Split Second Designer Template, dropped in the pictures, shifted the ‘arrow’ embellishment a little to fit the picture and added journaling – that’s it! Done!

And the best part!? – 25% off on select digital downloads and printing!

Digital Tuesday – Family History Scrapbook

I’m a big family history buff! I love it and have been researching my family for more than 15 years now and teaching and lecturing on family history for more than a dozen years. So I was super excited when Stampin’ Up! introduced the 12×12 family history digital photobook template for MDS in January.

The template for this photo book has a picture square behind the ‘family history’ banner. I changed it to a block and added the family name. I really enjoy being able to start with a template and adjust it to my needs.

The picture of the couple above is of my grandparents, HD and Josie DeLoach. The best I can tell this picture was taken around the time they got married which was 1941. This is just the beginnings of my album and as you can tell I haven’t filled in all the data yet on the page below, but it gives you an idea of how easy it is to do.

For the other history buffs out there, I have to tell you of my latest discovery! (For the rest of you, skip down below for the latest digital downloads!)

Last month the Louisville Genealogical Society meeting included a presentation from a couple who had a journal of an ancestor’s civil war experience. It was a very small, fragile book with some wonderful excerpts about the history of the time.

Years ago I learned that the Brooks County Genealogical Society in Quitman, Georgia, had published “The Civil War Letters of Bryant Folsom.” Bryant Folsom was my 3rd great grandfather, an ancestor of my grandmother above, who died in the war. I was anxious to get a copy of the publication. Unfortunately, it was printed in 1997 and by the time I found out about it there were no copies available.

Occasionally I would search the web for a copy, but I never had any luck. After going to the civil war lecture last month, I decided to try my search again and I found one for sale on Amazon! I immediately purchased it and it was delivered just days later in perfect condition! Success! I am so happy to have this book for my family.

It’s Tuesday, so that means new digital downloads! The new digital downloads this week include some extra special projects for mom in preparation for Mother’s Day and a graduation digital stamp brush set.

Digital Tuesday: Spring is Nature’s Way of Saying “Let’s Party!”

Spring is nature’s way of saying, “Let’s party!”, so says Robin Williams. And today is digital Tuesday, so here’s a quick My Digital Studio creation for you. I used a background paper from the new Sale-a-bration Lemonade Stand digital disc, the ‘spring’ stamp from the Walk in the Park II designer kit and a little flower from the Enjoying Everything designer kit. The rest is text. (You can view my tips on how to make frameable home decor from any quote in My Digital Studio digital designing software here.)

Spring is definitely in the air. Last week we had the weirdest weather here in Kentucky. One night I came out to half a foot of snow on my car, we had a snow day and a couple of days later we were out in short sleeves.

It’s Tuesday and that means new My Digital Studio downloads are available.
