MDS - Poolin Around, Heather’s Class2

Once again, it is TUESDAY!!  You know what that means!!  DOWNLOAD DAY!!  Yippee Yahoo!I felt like I was back in my counted cross stitch days after doing this class of Heather’s!!  Unfortunately, my eyes don’t work like they did back then!  Woozers!  That was a lot of paying attention!    I can see now that I should have centered my punches before adding my picture but I am not about to undo anything!  We had to fill our page with the square punch then change each square using the Swatches from the Color Palette!  I made a duplicate page of my color filled punches in case I ever have the urge to do this again!  This is a great technique, Heather, thanks for sharing!

Embellishment: Downtown Grunge.

MDS - New Year's Day 2010, Heather’s Class2

Once again, it is TUESDAY!!  You know what that means!!  DOWNLOAD DAY!!  Yippee Yahoo!

In this class, Heather reminded us to use the templates in MDS to make a quick page.  It is easy enough to import a premade template into your album.  You can always add or delete from the template.  For this page, I went through the templates to find a page that had 6 photo boxes.  Again, you can always add more photo boxes to the templates if you want but I wanted something that was done for me.  I chose a page from the A Year in Review template, changed the flowers to fireworks from Canada Day, changed the ribbon to Real Red and POOF, I had a page done in about 10 minutes!  So, yes, do remember those templates!  They make life very easy!

MDS - Happy Birthday Olivia, Heather’s Class

Happy Tuesday to you!  Do you know what that means?  Digital Download day!  Whooo hooo!  Head on over to My Digital Studio.net to see what's new today!
Another great layout and copy from Heather’s Bonus class of 10 days.  I wanted to use the Check It Out Photo box punches (because the corners are rounded) for all my pictures as Heather did in her class page.  Unfortunately, within a punch you can't rotate an image.  I went into my photo program, rotated the image then inserted it into the punch but they still went in sideways so I had to use photo boxes for some of the pictures.  Another problem I have (on any page, not just this one), is my items do not Send Backwards with either Ctrl/Shift/down arrow or by clicking on the Send Backwards button.  I wanted the Text to be sent behind my pink piece, instead, I had to bring the photo to the front!  Regardless of my troubles, it is another page done in my daughters’ 2011 album & she’ll never know I had these troubles! Anyways, do sign up to Heather’s MDS Made Simple 2 class HERE otherwise you are really missing out!  Watch for another of Heather’s class pages I did next Tuesday & my regular scrap page on Friday.

In this class, Heather showed us how to make our photo opaque without the background showing thro.  My opaque picture is a bit blurry but I wanted us to remember the year we bottle fed 7 kittens after their mother went missing during a horrible wind and rain storm.  We managed to save 4 of them and their mother has never returned!

Paper: Ice Cream Parlor 4, Wisteria Wonder.

Stamps: Cute Cats, Vintage Overlay 5, Green Tea.

Embellishments: Grosgrain Knot, Cheerful Treats, Scallop Dots Ribbon.

Once again, it is TUESDAY!!  You know what that means!!  DOWNLOAD DAY!!  Yippee Yahoo!Heather shot a video of the photo placement and how to match punches to the photo box sizes for us in this class. Her layout allowed me to use a bunch of pictures that my daughter didn't care if I scrapped or not, during their American Girl shopping spree. Perfect!
