MDSM56 Joan's going Opaque on us!

Hi everyone, it's Joan here, with a new card sketch.  This week, along with the sketch, lets play with the opacity feature.  It can be used on any part of the sketch that works best for your creation.  You can create your own "washi tape" strips and "vellum" by changing the opacity of your element.  We'd love to see what you come up with this week.

Here's the sketch.

Be sure to read the Guidelines above, under about MDS Monday.

The challenge is open for two weeks and the Linky will close on Friday March 14th @ 11:55pm EST. We hope you will join us!

Top Picks for MDSM#54!

Thank you for all who participated in challenge #54. It's so fun to see how people use the card sketches! Lets check out the top picks:

MDS Monday Master

Lynn

I love Lynn's rustic birthday card. The paper in the background makes me think of walking along a boardwalk and collecting seashells along the shore. Beautifully done, Lynn! ~Tara

I Made it with MDS

Wendie

I love how Wendie "tied" her title to the page with the use of the twine. The colors on the page are so nice with the landscape in the photo and the stamps for pennants look great. A really well put together and lovely page! ~Beth

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a brand new card sketch from the talented Joan!

Still Time for Challenge #55!

There is still time to play along with Challenge #55!  Cindy has such a fun page sketch for us.

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

*MDSM55 is open until Friday March 7th*

MDSM55.. It's all about your State!

Welcome back to a new Challenge, it's Cindy here and I have a passion for state images! I love maps and anything to do with showing love across this land of ours. We all travel, right? My little twist in this scrap sketch is to change the state or province and add wooden embellishments and chevron or arrow elements to the page. I highly recommend getting the Fifty Nifty Kit download OR the Providence of Provinces Kit download if you do not have it! 

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

The challenge is open for 2 weeks, the Linky will close on March 7th @ 11:55pm EST. We can't wait to see what you create!

Top Picks for MDSM#53 !

It was so much fun to see all the entries for sketch #53!  I loved seeing all the different papers that everyone used, and the fun ways people framed the main photo. 

This weeks MDS Monday Master goes to Yapha, who didn't use any DSP or Frames!  She kept it clean and simple with the photo strips and mats and I love the way it looks.  Congrats Yapha!

~Beth

Tina

I just love Tina's yummy page. I love all the different papers she has used and how the panel with the title has the same background treatment as the main background. Sounds like a great tradition!! Congrats, Tina! ~ Tara


Rebecca
I picked Rebecca's page for its pop of colors, the stitching, the frames and the photos! Fantastic work! Congrats, Rebecca! ~ Cindy

A big Thank You to everyone who joined us.. we'll see you all back here tomorrow for a new Challenge!

Still Time for Challenge #54!

There is still time to play along with Challenge #54!  Tara has a card sketch for us with a challenge to use the "align" function of the software.

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

MDSM54 Getting our ducks in a line!

Good morning and welcome to a brand new challenge here at MDS Monday! Tara here as your hostess this week and I have a simple card sketch for you, with a little 'tip' to help you along.  It's a simple one, but one that I use almost every time I create a page - The align 'space evenly...' feature. Stampin' Up! has a great video tutorial to show you how it's done.

Check out what the Design Team has to share, and then link up your own project. We can't wait to see what you create!

The challenge is open for 2 weeks, the Linky will close on Feb. 28th @ 11:55pm EST. We can't wait to see what you create!
