MDS Monday!

I must admit that I was very resistant to digital scrapbooking & paper-crafting for a long, long time!  I must also say that I took it very slow in the beginning...I found myself extremely overwhelmed with everything that was out there, I had 'other things' to do when I was on the computer (paper-crafting was an escape...I didn't want to sit on the computer to do that too) & I will admit, I may have been a little scared that I would enjoy it!  I mean, really, I have a WHOLE ROOM of scrapbooking & stamping supplies...so much so that I will probably never get around to using everything I own & I still buy more!  SO the questions came...What if I loved digital just as much?!?  How would I find the time to do BOTH?!?  Could I justify purchasing digital AND 'real' supplies?!?  Do I 'need' another hobby...something else to take up my already limited 'free' time?

 

The answers: Yes I do & YES I CAN!!!  It's all become a matter of priorities, doing what I enjoy & allowing myself time to myself...even if the dishes sit in the sink for an extra few hours...or even a day.  I'M WORTH IT!  I deserve to do some things for me & SO DO YOU!

Now that I have been participating in the MDS Monday Challenges for 7 weeks, I will admit that I LOVE digital scrapbooking!!!!!  I was even named 'MDS Master' for MDSM Challenge 27, which totally shocked me!  I wish I would have started sooner!  I still 'traditional' scrapbook as well but I'm finding that with a 1 year old it's much easier to work on a few elements of a page at a time & not have to lug everything out to do it!  Plus, these challenges are so much fun!

 

If you're afraid that you can't 'find the time' for something new, I'm here to tell you that it can be done!  You just have to decide what's most important to you!  And in some cases, what you're willing to sacrifice to be able to do it.

 

Enough rambling...here is this weeks sketch:

 I may have taken a little more 'creative license' with the sketch this week than I usually do, but I did take the 'ADDED CHALLENGE' this time!  "FRAMES!"

There is a frame added behind my photos, as well as frames added to each photo!

 

I'm working on the coordinating page for this layout too!

 

I'm soo excited to get these pages done & printed so I can get them in her album!  Now the decision is going to have to be made as to whether to put them in with the traditional pages or make a whole digital album?!?

 

I hope you have enjoyed my MDSM29 submission!

 

As always, thank you for taking the time to visit (& read my rambling this week)! 

Your comments are always appreciated!
