Sharon

I love Sharon's fun and festive New Year's page! Great idea for a page to incorporate a number! The background paper she chose just makes me want to celebrate and the photos are fabulous. Great job, Sharon! ~Tara

Heidi's Pick for MDSM#80

Thank you all who played along with the fun Project Life challenge this week!

It's time to check out Heidi's MDS Master:

Diane Malcor ~ MyDiane Designs

I really love how well Diane's pocket pages work with her photos. The color scheme is so soothing and really lets the photos pop. Thank you for playing along, Diane!

Tami's Top Pick for MSDM#78!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the map challenge this week!  ALL of the entries were so good that I had a terrible time deciding on a winner.  Seriously, they are all fantastic!!!  I loved your different uses of maps, the great photo and color combinations, and all the little touches you added.

Anita Krul

I love the way Anita blurred her map, except for the focal point.  That was simply a brilliant idea.  I also really love the way she broke up the colors of the page with the large white frame around the central picture of the lighthouse, with the simple staples as accents.  The beautiful blue sky in her photos and that little touch of blue on the map just added up to an all around lovely page!  Congratulations Anita.

Joan's Top Pick for MDSM#77!

Thank you all for joining our Challenge this week! It was great seeing all the varieties of layers from everyone.  This is my last week to select picks - and I'm going to miss working with these talented women on the design team.  I have enjoyed working with them and learning from them.  You can be sure that I will continue participating in the challenges even if I'm no longer on the Design Team.

Suzanne Johnson

Gotta Stamp with Suzanne

I love the use of the Botanical Gazette DSP that Suzanne chose for her layout.  I also liked her idea of putting the title on a piece of "tape".  You wouldn't be able to do that easily in real life - but MDS makes those sorts of things easy peasy.  I also love all the stitching behind the little bird cage on the left.  Congratulations, Suzanne, and thanks for the inspiration. ~Joan

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

Tara's Picks for MDSM#75!

Thank you to all who played along with this week's sketch! As always, it's so fun to see all the different interpretations of the sketch! Now, on to the top picks this week as chosen by Tara.

Yapha ~ Stamps & Scraps with Yapha

I love Yapha's page. The colours are perfect and the fonts she chose are wonderful. The accents in behind the photos are so fitting. Congrats, Yapha!

Anita ~ My Paper Chronicles  

Anita created such a super fun young girl's page! The pink/purple banner at the top is a sweet little accent on the fab chalkboard background. Congrats, Anita!

Be sure to swing by tomorrow to check out the new challenge!

Amy

I love all the elements Amy has used from the Amped Up Ampersands kit! Wonderful way to showcase her fabulous photo, and make use of all the fun elements! Congratulations, Amy! ~Tara

Beth also loved Amy's page!

Love all the little elements on the page. From the perfectly placed ribbon circle to the cute pinwheel, it all comes together for a great page that highlights a great picture! ~Beth

I Made it with MDS

Wendie

I am loving the monochromatic look of the neutral color on Wendie's page. It works so well with the photo. Also the textures on the background and designer series paper are perfect for the outdoors theme. Great job, Wendie! ~Cindy

Carol

This page is just adorable... I love how Carol used the ribbon knots as a chevron and the pop of purple is perfect! ~Holly
