MDS Monday! (MDSM31)

Well, we are once again at Monday...probably my favorite 'blogging' day!  I mean, really...if Monday 'has' to come every week, it may as well be good for something, right?!?  Well, the gals over at MDS Monday have definitely given me a reason to LOVE Mondays! ;)  I find myself checking their blog often (even though I know I will get any posts in an e-mail...but sometimes my e-mail is slow to show up!)...looking for any new challenges, posts, comments, ANYTHING! LOL

 

Mondays are also the day I get to share MY latest MDS Creation for the current Challenge!!!  So why would I hate Mondays?!?  Yes, it's the beginning of a new week...the weekend is over & hubby has to go back to work...but MDS has gotten to be such a FUN program, that I can't help but be excited to share with all of you!

 

So...without any further delay, here is the sketch for the page this week:

There's still time to join in!!!

 

And here is MY page for this Challenge:

 

 

I usually get a good idea about what photos/colors/papers/etc I am going to use as soon as I see the sketch...& I love it even more when it actually works out that way!

 

I was also Honored with the title of MDS Monday Master for the last Challenge!  I am humbled to be honored as often as I have been & I invite all of you to join me in these Challenges.  I never thought that I would be able to create such beautiful works of art in My Digital Studio & I know you can too!

 

I will be starting a Monthly MDS Class soon.  If you are interested, keep an eye on my Calendar of Events for more details!  This will be an 'in-person' class at first, but I hope to be able to offer an on-line/long-distance one shortly after the launch.  (If you are interested in the on-line option, please let me know so I can get an idea of how fast I need to get this up & running!)

 

I hope to hear from all of you soon about your interest in MDS Classes & I would love to see you all join the Challenges at MDS Monday too!

 

Happy Creating & Have an Awesome Week!

Throwback Thursday...Disney-style!

While I'm on a Disney kick this week, I figured I'd share a couple Throwback photos!

 

Originally, I thought I'd share these pics of me after my very first night working on Main Street at the Magic Kingdom:

 I was soo happy & had a great time at work!

 

Then I thought I might find some even older pics of me working at Disney, but those seem to have been some of what I lost in one of my many hard-drive crashes. :( 

 

Soo...maybe I have a few prints around that I can scan in one day & share...I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

 

Hope you are all having a wonderful Thursday!  The weekend is almost here!!!  What kinds of fun things do you have planned?

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:

Click on the photo to go to the Challenge Post!

 

 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!
