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.

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


 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

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!

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". 

The Challenge is open until Friday Jan. 3rd at 11:55pm EST. Now let's see what the Design Team created below:

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




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




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!
