Over the weekend I was able to get two scrapbook pages completed. My scrapbooks are a combination of Project Life pages and traditional 12 x 12 pages that include photos, embellishments and journaling. I wanted to show you another Project Life page where I used Stampin' Up DSP and My Digital Studio (MDS).
The pages are not elaborate. The key to Project Life is to get the the moments captured and to tell your story. I will show you one of the pages that captures Father's Day 2012 (I know I am behind).
The Project Life Pocket Page I used is Design F which includes one 4" x 6" pocket and ten 3" x 4" pockets. This page design used to throw me off because I did not know how to get more 4" x 6" photos in the layout. Simple - you chose photos where you can slice it down the middle. Your eye naturally looks at it as a whole photo. You can see I did that twice.
Let's take closer look...
I am an MDS novice yet the program is fairly easy to work with and there are many great Stampin' Up! tutorials and You Tube vidoes available to get you started. The Happy Father's Day card in the center was completely designed and printed from MDS. I set the size of my project (3 x 4), purchased a Father's Day stamp set, and then added the stamps to my project, selected the colors I wanted and then added text. It is fairly simple and fun to play around in.
You can see I even added text to my photos and print those as well. The text added to the photo below is a brush added to Photoshop by Ali Edwards. I love her style. The "Recording Moments" in the photo at the top of the page is another Ali Edwards brush.
I do hope I am inspiring you to document the moments of YOUR life. Our lives are not about the things we accumulate rather the accumulation of our experiences. As the years go by I am more and more appreciative of the time I have invested in documenting our lives.
Remember you can try MDS for FREE for 30 days and if you like it is is only $19.99! It is an amazing tool whether you want to capture memories, make cards or create invitations! If you have any questions I am just an email away.
Tomorrow is another Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge, see you then!
