Redwoods - MDSM67

Mike and I took a much needed vacation with his parents to Northern California this past week to see the Redwood Trees.  Such beauty in the surrounding areas.... it helped us to relax and reflect on the things that are important to us -- being with family. =)

As I saw this sketch challenge on the MDS Monday blog.... I just knew I had to use one of the photos from our recent trip to the Redwoods.  If you'd like to view their blog, click here:MDS Monday Challenge - MDSM67

A few things I'd like to point out as I was creating this page are: 

I grouped the photo boxes together in order to create the look you see here.

In the My Digital Studio software, simply create your photo boxes and align them how you'd like them to be.  Then, select all of the boxes, right-click and select 'group', than 'group'.  Next add your photo.

I created my own DSP to use in the Alphabet punches for the title.

In the My Digital Studio software, open a separate page. I used Crumb Cake for the background and added the Bunch of Backgrounds (weathered) stamp brush set in Early Espresso over the top.  I saved this as a .JPEG file to my desktop. I then added this new file into the My Digital Studio software (into backgrounds), so that I could use it for future use. 

Thanks for taking a peek!
