Weekly Winners for MDSM 101!

 I loved seeing all the pages you designed this week!  They were ALL so creative and different, and they worked so well with the template.  You always make it so hard to pick a winner!
 Here are this week's picks:


Lorrie Gould
My Digital Studio.net
The colors and background Lorrie selected are just gorgeous and work so well with these beautiful photos!  I also really love the row of shells; they're just perfect for the theme of this page.  Absolutely lovely page! ~ Tami


Wendie Waldman
My Digital Studio.net
I love watercolor stamps, so when I saw the row of watercolor hearts, I fell in love with this page.  All the soft pink hues work so well, but my favorite part is the journaling!  To me, this is what scrapbooking is all about, capturing those great memories forever.  Great job Wendie ~ Tami

Be sure to come back tomorrow for our new challenge!

MDSM 101 - Put It On A Tilt

It's Tami here for this week's challenge.  My sketch is fairly simple, so it leaves lots of room for imagination.  You can use three photos, like the template, or combine them into one or two, like my example.  I used both the Align and Group Tools to first align and then group and rotate my photo boxes and circles.  To make it easy to reproduce, I made a short video showing how to set up my template.



Video:  (At the end of the video, I reference another technique that I was originally planning to include in the challenge, but I changed my mind.  So, just focus on the Align and Group Tools this week.)



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


Challenge Guidelines:
  • Please create a new MDS project for the current challenge.
  • Provide a link back to MDS Monday or use the challenge graphic above within your post.
  • Link directly to your post or mydigitalstudio.net sample page for this challenge, not your entire website (So we can find your project)
  • You can create a card, scrapbook page or 3-D object with the sketch.
  • The Challenge will end on Saturday February 21st @ 12pm EST. 
  • Have fun!

Weekly Winners for MDSM 99!

Thanks so much to everyone who submitted a page for last week's challenge.  We loved seeing the different interpretations of the sketch.  We loved them all, making it very difficult to select the winners. 

 Here are this week's picks:


Tanya Harvey
Tanya Stamps & Things
We all loved the theme of Tanya's page, and the touching photos.  The background papers are perfect to bring out the subtle colors.  Exquisitely done!


Lorrie Gould
My Digital Studio
We loved these fun pictures and thought the font and music notes fit perfectly with the theme of the page.  The addition of the circular stitching in the background really rounded out the page (Ha!)  Nicely done Lorrie!!!

Be sure to come back tomorrow for our 100th challenge!
