History and a Volcano for MDS Monday

Since I work nights I'm up to 4am every night, even weekends. This can be quite nice, especially when the challenge blogs are updated. I happened to be online when the new challenge for MDS Monday was posted so I opened up my MDS and started creating! Joan has a sketch for us that definitely gets us to put our thinking caps on!

I think the hardest part for me when using MDS is trying to visualize the direction I want to go in. With my stamps and paper I can lay them on my desk, see how things go together and just play around. For the way *my* mind works trying to do this on MDS is much harder. I started with the pictures I was going to use for this project and then I moved to the paper/colors. I knew I wanted to use Gingham Garden but I changed the background about 3 times before I finally settled on the end result. I changed up the 3 layers on the left just a tad by using a flag punch and again used Gingham Garden DSP. All in all I'm pretty pleased with the way the page came out!

  2. Oh, so pretty! The Gingham Garden paper can be too noisy, but the ones you chose with the white background are perfect! Of course, your photos are always gorgeous! Thanks for joining MDS Monday this week.

  4. Your page turned out beautifully, Lisa! I know sometimes it takes me longer to create a page with MDS because I'm always changing things around....however, at least there isn't the "mess" to clean up after. Your pictures are wonderful and I love your banners - all your papers create a lovely fabric feel. Thanks for playing along with us again....in the wee hours of the morning! LOL.
