I've created a new page for our 2013 Calendar (places we've been in 2012).

2013 Calendar

This year, I wanted to create an 8.5x11 calendar for my parents with My Digital Studio software. The calendar itself was pretty easy.....trying to find photos of Mom and Dad together - not so easy. I planned on using a focal photo....one that showed places that they have been, and then a couple of photos of Mom and Dad together on each page.

I hope they are as excited about this calendar as I was in creating it.

Snoqualmie Falls - DGSC080

I started working on the Digi-Scrap Challenge (DGSC080- Recipe Challenge). You may see the challenge here: DGSC080-Recipe Challenge

The recipe is to:
-Choose three photos
-Background is black & white
-Add a tag
-Create a list
-Use a layered embellisment

This challenge was tough for me, but I love how this page turned out.
-I used three photos from our trip to Snoqualmie Falls and changed them all to black and white.
-I used a white background with a Stamp Brush Set Overlay (Decorative Overlay).
-I added a tag, and created a list on that tag.
-I layered the tag with a mat, added an eyelet and then a bow.

Font - Multu (first letter in title only) all else is Regency (Basic Black)

I started out by working on a Digi-Scrap Challenge on SCS, but aside from 3 photos....it doesn't even come close to adhering to the challenge. Ha! I guess I will have to work on that challenge later.

Kubota Gardens

 

My Digital Studio.net site has a new challenge. This week it's a Sketch (Scrap Map 1). The winner of this challenge will receive a free digital download (from the following weeks' offerings)! How cool is that!
I changed the sketch up a bit by using the Festive Blooms instead of the hexagon shape, and I rounded a few corners on the photos.
I re-colored the Knots and Ties Trim from Wild Wasabi to Lucky Limeade, and some of the Festive Flowers - flower #6 - to Calypso Coral.  A few of the Knots and Ties Trim were cropped to show only the curled ribbon and not the bow under the flowers. (Do you notice a shadow, at the top of the page, where no ribbon is? I believe that is a glitch in MDS2, it doesn't appear while working in the software, but it showed up when I exported it as a JPG file to my desktop ...I do hope it gets fixed soon)
