MDS Blog Hop Friday - Pinterest Case!

This week has been such a case of BAD luck week! Fresh back from vacation and one after another MAJOR problem has occurred. I feel overwhelmed and drained. But thru it all, this man stood by my side dealing with each trial together like we always have. So today's page is one that I worked on while we were on vacation when I had my "MDS" playtime and it seems fitting to use it today of all days. I won't go much into details cause I just plainly can not remember cause of my zombie-like status. A do-nothing weekend is in store for me.
I tried to go find the original page on Pinterest and could not find it. I will try later and add here. :(

 

Thanks for stopping by!

MDS Blog Hop Friday - Coloring Tool

 

 I actually started this page while I was playing with the new MDS2 features at Convention. Then I came home to redo it on my system and played around some more to get to this. Above is the original page. Then I saw the Sketch challenge last week on MyDigitalStudio.net and knew I could change it to fit the sketch. I did not win but I did get a Honorable Mention and selected as a featured sample on the website. Pretty cool beans! You can see it here: Peace on Earth 

I used the NEW MDS2 feature called Coloring Tool on many things. The title is a stamp image that I colored each letter. I really loved that ornament embellishment so I matched the snowflake stamp image with the coloring tool to match them. Here is an example on how I did that:

 

 It is alot like using the Paint program. I highly recommend using the Zoom + or - on this to color in the details. You can also watch this video here:http://mydigitalstudio.net/video/stamp-image-coloring

I also did the title as it was a stamp image that I colored each letter.

I think that this maybe the biggest and best new feature of MDS2! It is SO much fun!

See what you can come up with and post it on MDS.net. I challenge YOU!

Thanks for stopping by!

MDS Blog Hop Fridays - Card Sketch

As soon as I saw our card sketch challenge HERE, I wanted to make a trifold card. Those to me are a big design challenge.  I started with the flag punches over and over with stretched them out over the entire card. Then I went with a theme of using the Comfort Cafe DSP and remembered that I needed an Anniversary card for my parents soon. I created some fake guidelines so you can see where the folds would be. I recolored the Victoria ribbon to Cajun Craze and the Vintage Brad to Midnight Muse. I also used the cropping tool on the Stamp image sentiment a couple of times to get my stamps images where I wanted them. I will get this ordered today with my last MDS print order as the 31% discount expires TONIGHT.
I just got my first MDS print order back and I am thrilled with my print products. The front and back endsheets were the wrong color on my photobooks but over all, I am so happy!!! I will share some of those printed products with you all soon!
Thanks for stopping by!

MDS Blog Hop Fridays - Fab FOOD!

Know what I love about MDS2? (really there are TONS that I love) I can go back to an old page made before MDS2 and add NEW and EXCITING details to it using the NEW MDS2 features! On this week's Rochelle challenge of a food related project, I went back to this page because it was perfect for the challenge. I also love that picture of my Alli (a.k.a. Chocolate Monster) when she was little and such a ham.

The background paper on the bottom was created by me! I added a BUNCH of the Made from Scratch embellishments of bowls, spatulas, mixing bowls and Recipe saying in a group and then copy and pasted to create my own designer series paper to this kit.

Ok, so what is new? I added some Freeform stitching in Poppy Parade around the page. I also changed the color in the title because you can do that now in MDS2!

Here is the modified Supply List that you can get in MDS2 too. :)
