MDS 084 Winter Scene Scrapbook Page

Page before adding Photo boxes

A digital scrap page using My Digital Studio software by Stampin' Up!.

For today’s post, I want to share how simple it is to use a picture as your background ‘paper’ in MDS.  I started out with Textured Baja Breeze as my page color.  Then I added a Photo box, stretched it to within ¼” from the edges.  I popped my photo on then changed the Opacity to 50 to make it faint.  That is all there is to it!  I added 4 more photo boxes and photo’s, matted them in Baja Breeze.  Very simple!

This is a 12x12 page.

Page before adding Photo boxes.

I did this page some time ago. Can’t remember just where I saw it but I thought it was off the MDS.net site.  Matter of fact, I was sure I had it stored in My Favorites in the MDS site but it is not there.  Although I am sure I did not copy it completely, just know that this is someone else’s idea.

Paper: Villa – Kraft (background).

Stamp Brush Sets: Vintage Overlay13 and 3 (Black) – it will appear to be nothing in your box.  Double click it and there it is.  Fit inside your bleed area; Timeless – car and bike (Soft Suede); Fundamental Phrases –family (black).

This is a 12x12 page.

Embellishments: Round Buttons (Black); Brads (Soft Suede, Black).

Punches: Square – 7x7” (Script - Soft Suede) and 5x5” (Dotted Stripe – Kraft) – I resized Vintage Overlay 6 to 5x5” and set it on top of this square; Tag (Brocade – Kraft); Modern Label (Grid – Kraft).

MDS - I Can Do it Myself, Heather’s Class2

Before we begin, today is Tuesday – DOWNLOAD DAY!  Go to My Digital Studio to see what is new for today! In today’s class, Heather showed us how to shorten our Taffeta ribbon using a punch.  I didn’t use that trick on this page but I really liked her layout so wanted to use it.  I will try her trick in a future page tho.

Paper: Black Textured, Rose Red Villa.

Stamps: Decorative Overlays Starburst (Blushing Bride), Extreme Elements.

Embellishments: Buttons, brad, Stitching, Downtown Grunge, Taffeta Trimmings Ripple (Blushing Bride).

Punch: Star, Heart, Oval.

Font: Clipper.

If you want in on Heather’s tricks & tips, you still have time to sign up to her MDS MadeSimple 2 class.  Because the daily posts don't happen anymore, the site remains open with the content, videos, photos, and discussions etc available until the end of October.  She has given her students permission to post our pages that we did in her class to our Blogs.  I intend to post a page every Tuesday and keep my regular Scrap pages coming on Fridays.
