MDSM Top Picks for challenge #45

Thank you to all who played along with Heidi's fun scrap sketch this week! We had some beautiful entries, and as always it was difficult to pick the top picks! Let's check them out.

MDS Master

Wendie

Wendie's choice of background is just lovely, and the subject matter of the page is absolutely touching!  Thank you so much for sharing with us, Wendie!  ~Heidi

I Made it with MDS

Carol

 I love Carol's page celebrating her granddaughter's first birthday!  The balloon with the title on it is perfect and I love the little snowflakes flitting across the page!  Thanks for joining us, Carol.  ~Joan

 Hayley

I love the way Hayley's pictures tell a story, in addition to all the festive embellishments she added.  Also, the neutral background draws attention to the great photos.  Awesome job Hayley! ~Tami

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a brand new scrap layout from Tara!

There's Still Time for Challenge #46!

There is still time to play along with Challenge #46!  Beth has a fun card sketch using tape stamp images or embellishments.

Check out the challenge and some great samples from the Design Team.  Then get creating and link up yours!

*MDSM46 is open until Friday January 3rd*

MDSM46 Tape it!!

Hi Everyone!  It's Beth here today with a card sketch for you.  I would like you to use the sketch below and some "Tape" to "Attach" your main image panel.  The tape can from your stamps or your  embellishments.  I did a search in both the stamp folder and the embellishments folder to see what I had.  I was amazed at how many kits had versions of tape.  I love that I could recolor my embellishments too!  The possibilities are endless!  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Be sure to read the Guidelines about under "About MDS Monday".

MDSM Top Picks for Challenge #44!

Thank you to the two lovely ladies who played along with challenge #44! We know it's a busy time of year for everyone!

It's almost impossible to pick a top pick with these two beautiful entries, so we're naming both Hayley and Sue as MDS Monday Masters this week!

MDS Monday Masters

Sue

I love how Sue envisioned her flourishes as fireworks - adding a bit of bling at the end of each swirl. I think the background is pa perfect addition to the theme too. Congratulations, Sue. ~Joan

Hayley

It doesn't get much more festive than this! I love all of Hayley's flourishes and her little cluster of pinecones in the corner. What a jolly Christmas card! Congratulations, Hayley. ~Tara

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a brand new card sketch from Beth!

There's Still Time for Challenge #45!

There is still time to play along with Challenge #45!  Heidi has asked us to pack on the pictures, squeezing in many photos into a layout by rotating them a little left or right.

Check out the challenge and some great samples from the Design Team.  Then get creating and link up yours!

*MDSM45 is open until Friday December 27th*

MDSM45... Packing on the pictures!

Hi Everyone!  It's Heidi.  It's my turn to give you a scrapbook page layout.  I've always got tons of photos to scrap, especially when I'm trying to get the photobook finished up. So today, I'm giving you a sketch that squeezes many photos onto a page.

In order to maximize the number of photos, rotate them a few degrees right and left, and overlap the corners.  My layout below is just a starting point for the number of photos.  Add as little or as many as you want (or can!).  Let the photos do the talking.  This is also a great technique if you are scrapping a page per week or a page per month.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Diane

Congratulations Diane for being the MDS Monday Master of the week! I love the bright colors on this page, and the way the yellow circle looks like a sun, setting off the photo. I also love the way you added the waves as a layer, and your palm tree and flower embellishments. Just lovely!!! ~Tami

I Made it with MDS

Kelly

I love how Kelly used the baseball as part of the layout, and she also showed how versatile her layout is by changing some elements and creating a whole new feel with her daughter's page. ~Heidi

Hayley

I love all the fun papers Hayley has used for this page and her wonderful embellishments! ~Joan

MDSM44.... It's feel a bit Flourish in here!!

Welcome back to MDS Monday - It's Joan here this week with a card sketch.  I love how you can make flourishes (well anything for that matter) any size that you need or want with MDS.  So my challenge to yo this week is to include some sort of curly flourish - big or small.  Here's the sketch...

Be sure to read the Guidelines about under "About MDS Monday". The Challenge is open until Friday Dec. 20th at 11:55pm EST.
