Happy Moments - MDSM82

 

I decided to play along with the MDS Monday Sketch Challenge this week (MDSM82).  Tara created this wonderful sketch, and asked us to use white/vanilla with a touch of one color.  You may view the challenge here:

I chose to Not Quite Navy as my touch of color.  The lovely patterned paper I used is from the Bella Bleu DSP set (Designer Series Paper #4).  I used the 'Rip Edges' tool on the photo with a Not Quite Navy mat.  The photo is of my parents enjoying the outdoors, sitting in their swing on their deck (taken in 2011). Hmmm.... I should probably add the date on my page - huh? LOL!

Thanks for taking a peek!

Background - Very Vanilla

Embellishments - Designer Rosettes (Very Vanilla); Basic Pearls; Timeless Taffeta Trimmings (bow - Not Quite Navy)

Big Island

 

In a previous post, I mentioned that I finally finished my 2011 scrapbook! Well, I forgot that I still needed to finish this double-page spread for the August Progressive Challenge on the Splitcoaststampers website. So..... NOW.... I'm done! Yay!

These two pages reflect the beginning of our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii and the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort.

Thanks for taking a look!

Mom and Dad - DGSC71

Working on a few past challenges on splitcoaststampers (DGSC71).  This one challenged us to use only one photo, a large stamp background and smaller stamps as embellishments. 

You may view the challenge and all the projects created with it here:

As I usually scrapbook more than one photo on a page....this was a tough challenge for me. I really like the end result though. I used a recent photo of my parents as they celebrated my Dad's 70th Birthday. The subway art is all stamps. I used My Digital Studio software.
