MDS Blog Hop--Summer Fun

Well, to say that my summer has been fun so far is not quite accurate.  It's definitely been eventful, but fun...well, not yet anyway!  I'm excited that Stampin' Up!'s annual convention is one week from today--YIPPEE!!  I always look forward to seeing everything that Stampin' Up! has in store but more than that, I so enjoy seeing all the friends I've made over the last 18 years being a demonstrator.  This is such a great company to be a part of.  I've still been unpacking (and re-packing) boxes and organizing (and re-organizing) my new home.  I'm sure you all know where I'm coming from.  This first month has been a whirlwind and I am so glad we made this decision, but moving is HARD! No wonder I stayed 20 years in the last house!!  Well, with all of the stuff going on here, I realized I hadn't updated my iPhone screen saver in a while, so I made a few that were kinda summer-y (that's what I'm calling them so they fit with the blog hop, don't tell the others-- wink, wink!)

Sorry about the spacing, computer isn't cooperating.  Anyway, you can download these and add them to your own iPhone, but it's very easy to make your own with MDS.  Choose the custom project option and add the size of your screen (google it!) and then go crazy!  You can add whatever you want!  Save the project as a .jpg and then email it to your phone. Simple enough?  This is what it looks like on my iPhone:

I can't wait to share the fun from convention so check back in or follow me on twitter (@stampinjul), I'll be trying to keep up with all the excitement!
Check out all the rest of the bloggers on our hop, they always have fun projects to share. Julie L. is next.

Time for bed, sleep seems to be alluding me this week, I think some type of pharmaceutical is in my future!

MDS Blog Hop--More iPhone Wallpaper

Welcome to our first MDS blog hop post of 2014!  Before we get to the hop, I'll just remind you that the new Occasions Catalog is live and you can view it here.  Make sure you check it out, you won't be sorry. If you would like an actual hard copy of the catalog, please email me your address and I'll be happy to send one to you.  I've enjoyed playing with just some of the new items, and I can guarantee more will be added to my stash!!  As for our blog hop today, our theme is phone wallpaper/tablet wallpaper.  I've got two different iPhone wallpapers today, more on the humorous/snarky side.  For those of you who know me, I have a tendency to be a bit sarcastic and sassy...I know, it's hard to believe, but it's true! {wink} I also have a tendency to check my phone a ton and I really need to stop being so attached all the time.  My wallpapers are more of a reminder for me, but if you happen to have the same problem I do (or if you just have the same sense of humor as me) these wallpapers may be just what you need!!

I used Convention 2012 kit for the "You Again" background along with the Natural Composition overlay.  The background for the "Hey" is Number One kit.

Thanks for sticking around with me on this fun ride!  I really enjoy "hopping" with these great girls--they are all so talented! Make sure you check in on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays each month for more MDS Blog Hop creating and sharing.  As always, you can purchase MDS for just $19.95 which comes with hundreds of components for you to create wonderful books, pages, cards, gifts and more, or you can try it free for 30 days.  I'm pretty sure that once you try it, you will want the real thing!

2014 is gonna ROCK!!  I'm excited for the fun, exciting things this year has in store!

iPhone Wallpaper--Celebrate the Season

As much as I love my iPhone, it definitely lacks style...my style!  I can put a case on it, I can add photos and all that, but I love to personalize it even more!  Plus, I get bored really easy, so I like to be able to change things up when the mood hits!  I came up with these:

1.'Tis the Season  2.Wonderful Time of the Year  3.Too Much Merry 4. Naughty or Nice

I don't know, but for some reason, this one is my favorite!! {wink} I hope you enjoy these throughout this festive season.  It's so very simple to customize your phone with MDS!  You just start out with the "customize" option and then select the size you want (Here is a list of phone/tablet pixel sizes). You can also measure your screen and input that in as well.  Once you have your size, you can save it on MDS and whenever you feel like changing up your "phone style" you can just add another page to your project, (or start over from scratch).  You just need to save your project as a .jpg file and email it to your phone!  It's very simple!  I will try to put together a video for you, so stay tuned!

I'm still trying to stay warm...I really don't want to dig out the PARKA!!  I only use that when I go to Utah (or our church's Girls Camp)!
