MDSM32 Joan's got a Card Sketch!

Hey, hey, hey - welcome to a card sketch challenge this week at MDS Monday.  It's Joan here, presenting the sketch this time - and reminding you that you can use the sketch for either a card project or a scrapbook page - whichever suits your needs.  The main thing is to have fun.  I have added a challenge is to use an oversized image that exceeds the boundaries of the large space and to use a border stamp in your project this round.

Check our what our Design Team has created with the sketch and remember you have two weeks to play with the sketch and provide a link  for us to come and take a peak.  Also, be sure to read the Guidelines under "About MDS Monday".  

I hope you join in the fun!

MDSM Top Picks for Challenge #30

A big thank you to all those who played along last week - it was a blast seeing how different everyones projects were. Let's check out the top picks this week!

The MDS Monday Master is...

Cybil

I love the use of the Card Sketch on this card... The elements she added are perfect. The card looks so fun and bright! Great job Cybil... Congrats on being the MDS Master! ~Holly

And some more love for Cybil's:

I think this card is really fun! The frame around the sentiment works perfectly and the chevrons up the side are a nice touch. The colours work so nicely together too. This would be a great thank you type card to have on hand. It looks so seriously simple, yet amazingly fantastic! ~Beth

I made it with MDS!

Yapha

I just love what Yapha has done with the paper in the background to give the effect of a corner punch - what a clever idea! Great subject, great photo and fabulous design. Congrats, Yapha! ~Tara

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a brand new card sketch from Joan!

Still Time to Play Along with Challenge #31!

There is still time to play along with Challenge #31!  Heidi has a fun page sketch for us, along with some practice with the align and group functions.

Check out the challenge and some really fun samples from the Design Team.  Pick some fabulous patterned paper for your project, and then link yours up!

*MDSM31 is open until Friday September 20th*

MDSM31 It's all about the DSP!

Happy Monday, Everyone!  Heidi here, and I'm bringing you another page sketch.  Months back, there was a page on mydigitalstudio.net that won the bi-weekly challenge, created by Tracey Collier, and I just fell in love with the layout.  I thought it would be fun to recreate the page with your choice of coordinating digital papers.

This page is great practice with the Arrange > Align and Group functions.  Create the square punches and space them out and line them up as you like them, then group the boxes on the top or the bottom and rotate the whole group with your mouse by pulling on the corner of the group. 

Check out what the design team has come up with below, then show us what you can do!

MDS Monday Master...

I really love how this page came together. The pictures are just terrific and the papers chosen really make them stand out. The flowers in the journaling box balance the floral embellishment on the side and I just love the pennants. Super fun page!! ~Beth

I Made it with MDS...

Wendie

I love Wendie's fun frames - they are absolutely perfect for this page and really make the images 'come alive'. The strip of chevrons down the sides it a great detail! Congrats, Wendie! ~Tara
