You Make Me Happy...

The first Monday of Christmas vacation - and an MDS Monday card challenge - WooHoo!!!  Today, along with the sketch, Beth would like us to use tape on our creations.  I love love love wash tape - both digital and real.  I love how whatever is behind it peaks through.

I decided to "make my own" washi tape for this card by using photo boxes filled with DSP so that I could tear the ends of the "tape".  I then changed the opacity until what was underneath the tape showed through.  Easy Peasy.

Here is the sketch for this challenge - 

check out what there rest of the Design Team has come up with - there's some fabulous creations - as usual.  Also, make sure you link your creation to the MDS Monday challenge blog so we can have a look at your creation.

Thanks for stopping by - Hope your Monday is off to a great start.

You Did It!...

Happy card sketch day at MDS Monday and this week it is brought to us by Tara. 

While creating this, I changed my mind a couple of times as to what type of card I wanted to make...so I think I may be using this sketch again to create some of my other ideas.

Tara has also asked us to use "Faux Embossing" on our projects this week.

I took advantage of the 25% off print products during May (and it lasts until June 15!!!) and ordered some of the two other cards I've created since we've added the card sketch to our challenge.

I was totally excited to get them in the mail on Thursday!

Hope you have fun creating this week - don't forget to link your project to the challenge blog so we can enjoy it.

Silly Selfies with Grandma

I'm still working on Elliot's first year book - but I'm at the finish line!  I just have to tweak a few things for the cover and then it's off to the printer!

I generally hate pictures of myself - I can't seem to find the person in the photo that I see in the mirror....but I've discovered I need to take more selfies of me and Elliot because I'm always behind the camera!  So - we'll go with silly.  

I love the top right photo because he's looking at me like I'm nuts - which I am so it's all good.

Hope your day is fabulous - remember to document yourself!
