MDSM Top Picks for Challenge #36!

Wow - you guys sure blew that challenge out of the water! Such great projects for challenge #36. As always, it makes it difficult to choose the top picks...

MDS Monday Master

Anita

I just love everything about this page. I love that the circle was represented with the stitching and the way the photo is framed with the suggestion of layers of photos. And check out that burlap! It looks silver and is just stunning on this page. I wouldn't have thought to recolour burlap, because burlap is brown right? No, I was wrong, I now need to make some silvery grey burlap on a page real soon! ~Beth

I Made it with MDS

Wendie

I love how Wendie used the Warm Wishes sentiment across the main image... and how cute are the polka dots with the snowflake DSP. Congrats Wendie! ~Holly

Lynn

I love the great colour combo that Lynn has used, especially with the little bit of sparkle added in! The icy-blue in the background is just lovely. Congrats, Lynn! ~Tara

Be sure to swing by tomorrow and see a brand new card sketch from Tara!

There's Still Time for Challenge #37...

There is still time to play along with Challenge #37!  Joan has a page sketch for us, with the focus on a vertical title.

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

*MDSM37 is open until Friday November 1st*

MDSM37 Focus on the Title!

Welcome, everyone!  It's Joan, here, with another sketch at MDS Monday.  It's a fairly simple sketch with a number of photo boxes.  (I tend to take scads of photos at one time).  I have an added challenge for this week of adding a vertical title.  I have mine so that it is read vertically, however the other option is having the letters on top of one another.....whatever suits your project best.

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

Say Hi to our new Design Team Members

Hello and welcome back to MDS Monday.. We'll have a new challenge up for you in just a few hours but before we get to the challenge we wanted to introduce two new members to our Design Team.

Cindy Schuster of Nutmeg Creations 

My name is Cindy Schuster. My life involves being a mom of two sweet girls, wife of 20 years to a very supportive husband, friend, full time employee, youth director at our church, and Stampin Up Demonstrator!  I love being creative and crafty!  I recently won a position on the Stampin Up Artisan Design Team for 2013-2014.  Many of my entries for the contest were made with My Digital Studio.

I fell in love with My Digital Studio in 2010 nearly one year after it came out. It was when I was able to created a 24 page scrapbook of that year's Disney vacation in just one week! Could never have done that in traditional scrapbooking! Over the past two years, I have been very active designing with MDS. I even did the beta testing with the Stampin Up MDS team on the MDS 2 update before it came out last summer. You could say I know this program inside AND out.  I also teach MDS classes locally.

I love to share all about this excellent program and I am so thrilled to be on this design team with these amazing designers! I hope that my projects inspire you to get into MDS and all its possibilities!

Tami Hewlett 

Hi, I'm Tami, and I'm so excited to be part of the MDS Monday Design Team!  I've been stamping for over 12 years, and became a demonstrator in 2013.  One of my biggest passions is designing with My Digital Studio.  I love challenging myself to learn new techniques, explore possibilities, and push the envelope.  That's one of the reasons why I love sites like this one, because the challenges encourage me to try new things.  

I currently live in Central California with my husband and two teenagers.  In addition to being a demonstrator, I'm also a part-time C.P.A.  I love sports and work out almost every day including swimming, mountain bike riding, kick boxing and dancing.  (That's so I can keep up with the teenagers!)  But, my favorite part of the day is when I can relax in front of my computer and design on MDS.

Welcome to the Team ladies.. We are so excited to be working with you. You'll want to stop by their blogs and say Hi and peek at what they have been creating with MDS. We'll see you all in a bit! 

MDSM Top Picks for Challenge #35

So many great projects this week using Holly's sketch! Lets check out the top picks:

MDS Monday Master...

Carol

Great use of the sketch, Carol... I really like the texture in the background and the use of the curved element. ~Holly

... I Made it with MDS

Hayley

I love that Hayley used a large photograph for her background! The pictures are great and the flourish stamp behind them was a great choice. What cuties! ~Beth

Lynn

I love the pop of colour Lynn has created with those beautiful blue flowers! Great design and elements on her page. Looks like a fun party! ~Tara

Be sure to check back tomorrow for a new scrap layout from the oh-so-lovely Joan!
