MDS Blog Hop - More Project Life

Since this is my first year doing Project Life albums for my girls, it took me a few months into it to realize that I needed to get it all a little more organized. Each of my week slots looked different and I didn't like that -- I wanted them all to be uniform somehow to pull the whole album together. So that's where MDS came in! I found some fun Chalkboard fonts (thanks Ali!), added a black background and one of the textured overlays (flipped to white, then turn down the opacity). I sent these to my regular photo printer and they printed them as regular 4x6 photos which was exactly what I wanted. They just slide in on each week's layout spread like a regular picture. I made 52 of them, one for each week.

MDS Blog Hop - Summertime 3

I love hodge-podgy things. So when the This & That kit came out, I was all over it. But then - SU! released it in a digital kit. What? Oh, yeah!

I am a happy girl.

I love this picture of the girls and their cousin and couldn't wait to open it up in MDS. All of the little doo-dads were so fun to add, move around, twist around and play with.

And this kit is AMAZING. Over 101 embellishments makes for a whole lot of digital designing fun and gives you so many different options.

Thanks for stopping by the blog and don't forget to travel on to the other ladies to see what summertime goodness they've designed this week! (Links below!)

MDS Blog Hop - First Communion Invitation

Spring is always a super-busy time around the VanDyne house, and 2013 is no different. And this year we have one more thing thrown in for good measure - my youngest daughter's First Communion. This past weekend I had to come up with a quick invitation so I could get them sent out, and of course, I fired up MDS!

The size on this is 4"x6" so I could just print them out like a photo and put them in a slightly bigger envelope to send. It was easy to just pop in her photo, add the text on top and the white cross from the "Crosses of Hope" digital stamp set. I love it!

Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been working on and be sure to continue on with the hop!

MDS Blog Hop - It's Spring!

Yep, you know it!
I love MDS templates!

The Spring Break II kit is one of my all-time favorites (even NOT in spring!) and I found this sweet little 12x12 scrapbook page template in with the other MDS templates. The only thing I had to do was pop in the photo, add my journaling and export it.

Easy peasie, lemon squeezie!

Now run! Sprint! Link on over to the other MDS Blog Hoppers to see what spring goodness they have up their sleeves today (and be sure to check out our guest designer - Monika's blog!)
