More MDS 2 samples

It's that time of year again - Back to School - for my kids and me too! The calendar is filling up quickly with fundraisers, fencing practice, football practice, dances, etc. and we haven't even had our 1st day yet!

Luckily, Heather's class is winding up, just in time for school - guess I can't use that for an excuse not to do homework! I've learned so many great techniques and have been inspired by so many creative people!

Here are a few more from the class:

This is cased from Joan J. - hats & all!

This one is using color and black & white photos on the same layout

This technique was using the alignment tool for multiple photos

Well, a storm has rolled in, so I think I will shut down now. Happy "Back to School"!

MDS2 projects day 5 & 6

Here are 2 more challenges from Heather's MDS2 class.

Day 5 is a color challenge: Sahara Sand, Basic Grey, Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay & Whisper White

Everything was going well until I realized I forgot the Bermuda Bay color! So I added it to the text.

Day 6 is a challenge to use the Hexagon Punch. I cased Heather's layout and made a page from my daughter's science fair. The idea for the elements was inspired by a Target commercial.

Having a Splash!

This summer, we had a great opportunity to get all the grand-kids together at my parents house. At least once a year we try to get a professional group photo of all the kids, but our schedules were just too crazy this summer, so the pool shot will have to do for now!

I saw a layout similar to this on Pinterest and was trying to figure out how to recreate it with MDS without any "raindrop" stamps. I ended up using the the wing from the XL Two-step Bird Punch and changed the sizes to make the drops. I think it turned into a fun page & a great memory for the Grandparents!

MDS 2 Projects Days 1 & 2

As the saying goes: "You're never too old to learn" and thanks to Heather Summers, I am having a blast learning more about all the features on the MDS2! I haven't had time to really dig into all the features & thought Heather's class would be a good way to get started.

Here are my projects from the first two days

Day 1: Showing Movement

Day 2: Attaching text to a shape

Day 2 is our Christmas return address labels for this year. I've been looking into ordering one of those stamps, but after the video on attaching text to a shape, I can either print these directly on the envelopes or onto sticker paper & punch them out. The nice part is that it is so easy to change designs and fonts if we get tired of this design.

Holiday Catalog - now available!

I took a little time this weekend to break out some new items from the Holiday Catalog! Trying to get in some stamping before my classes start up again!

These two cards are a case from the catalog and use the Perfectly Preserved stamp set. It has a coordinating Framelits Die set that you can purchase too. I love that Stampin' Up! is now offering dies that match the stamp set!

The third card uses the Make A Mitten with the coordinating Mitten Builder Punch. This also uses the Window Frames Collection Framelit Dies. It coordinates with the Friendship Preserves stamp set.
