Great use of all the layers Hayley. I really like the stacked trim you added to the bottom of the photos and the newsprint background. ~Tami


I Made it with MDS


Beautiful colors and papers, I love the pictures of Eve, and the pom-pom trim is a fabulous choice. Great job, Yapha! ~Heidi


I love the soft colours in Tanya's page and the bright, clean look. The brads on the corners are a great touch. Congratulations, Tanya! ~Tara

MDSM40 Smile!!


Morning y'all!  It's Heidi, and it is my turn to host the MDS Monday challenge.  Time for a card sketch challenge.  I am a sucker for the polaroid look, even on cards, so no surprise that my sketch involves a polaroid frame.  Here's the sketch. 


Be Sure to read the Guidelines above under "About MDS Monday".

As a bonus challenge, create a hybrid project with the sketch.  For example, print out an element of the card and pop it up on the card base.

Check out what the DT came up with.  Can't wait to see what you create! The challenge is open for 2 Weeks and will end on Friday Nov. 22nd @ 11:55pm EST.

MDSM Top Picks for Challenge #38!

Well, how much fun was it to check out all the samples from challenge #38! So many great submissions! Let's give a round of applause to the fabulous top picks this week:

MDS Monday Master



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



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




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



Thanks to all who played along - be sure to check back tomorrow for a brand new card sketch from the talented Heidi!

MDS Master for Challenge #37!


Thank you to everyone who joined us for  MDSM37!  It was fun to see your memories chronicled in a series of photos. Here are our Top Picks!




I love the background paper that Lynn used for this layout of the Badlands.....the font for the title is awesome too.  I also like how she has overlapped the leaf images onto the photos.  Great job, Lynn! ~
Joan


Tanya's clean background, decorated with colored baseball stamps, is just perfect for these photos!  The black, white, and red color scheme is so striking (no pun intended)!  It is such a pleasing page with just the perfect amount of design.  ~ Heidi

Amber M. ~ Stamp with Amber

Gorgeous Page Amber.. The use of the different fonts for the title really makes everything come together.. I love all the details with the circles in the background. ~ Holly
