A Digital Layout

For my Australia album I am doing mainly traditional paper pages but I'm also adding one or two digital ones, especially where I want to include a lot of photos.

I created this page in MDS, unfortunately after Stampin' Up finally introduced it to the UK they have now discontinued it completely. I was only just beginning to get the hang of it after I found the MDS Monday challenge site where I had joined in a few times. However one of the DT Beth has continued to post sketches on her personal blog " Beth's Digital Cuts" and I used one of her sketches from last week to create this page. The flowers were the nearest I could get to poppies!
 

MDS Monday

MDS Monday have a sketch and technique challenge this week. They want us to use the freeform tool. It was definitely a challenge for me as I had never used it before so headed off to You Tube to watch a few videos.

Some considerable time later I had made a page I was reasonably happy with, except I don't like the writing along the top being upside down, but can't find a way to change it. Oh and now I seem to have lost the 13 off 2013!  I haven't got time to change it now so will have to have a look later.

Edited: to add the 13 to the picture!
Edited again after more advice - the writing's the right way up now! 
 

MDS Monday

I've been having another play with MDS following the sketch on MDS Monday. I've gone for a clean and simple look for this page.

Having tried out various different papers and embellishments I now have now idea what I finally used! I do know tough that the background colour is Bermuda Bay which perfectly matched my outfit!
 

MDS Monday - Spring

It's a long time since I played with MDS and entered the MDS Monday challenge and now I've got round to it again
Stampin' Up! have just announced that they are going to discontinue it!! Anyway here's my project for this week's challenge.

I am busy scrapping photos we took in Oz but there are so many, I think some will have to be digital in amongst the paper pages!

 

MDS Monday - Project Life

There is a new challenge at MDS Monday and as I am using it as my "tutor" for MDS I have been playing again. This week they are asking for a Project Life style layout, using either the Project Life downloads or a photobook layout to create your own.

I used a photobook layout with elements from Retro Fresh which has "card" type embellishments.

MDS Monday - Scrap Sketch Challenge

Gosh two posts from me in one day!!

I have been having another play with MDS. The trouble is that although there are lots of papers, stamps and embellishments with the initial download - I want more everytime I have a play!

I'm finding it quite useful though to  have a challenge to go to for inspiration. So I'm joining in again with the MDS Monday Scrap sketch challenge.

Another MDS project!

I decided to play with the MDS Monday challenge again! This time the sketch was a card.  I've changed the colours quite a few times before I ended up with this.

I'm still not entirely happy with it but hey it's made me play again! I've just realised I've forgotten the greeting!
