i like to be with you MDS

i think i seen this idea on the www.mydigitalstudio.net but not sure who did it. I kept a white background. brought in my big picture. then put the torn edges stamp all around it. changed the stamp color to white. the small vintage frame strip is from downtown grunge kit embellishments. the flower stamp is from friends 24-7 and colored gray....

boo.boo MDS

my digital studio, downtown grunge pre designed page( i just dropped my pix in) then added the presto pattern overlay stamp for the border around the page. title is made using the simple letter alpha punch and then i filled it w/ play date dsp and matted it in a brown. Noteworthy labels stamp is what i used for a little journaling on the top and the stitching going across the page is from the stitches and corners. I LOVE changing the opacity of the stamps when i work w/ them. for this presto pattern above i did it in very vanilla color but then just toned it down a bunch so it's not so very bold!

wedding thank yous

 fall weddings are so pretty and the last one i went to in WI was done in the browns and rust colors. These are the thank you cards that i stamped up as part of the wedding gift. kept it very clean and simple and stamped the flourish from baroque motifs on the envelope to match in cajun craze.

i just love these new designer frame impression folders. i actually made the impression first and then stamped my sentiment right in it w/ the clear stamps. so very cool and no stamp a ma jig needed! love that.

paper: naturals ivory, more mustard
ink: cajun craze, early espresso
stamps: perfectly penned, baroque motifs
tools: big shot, designer frames, itty bitty shapes punch pack
accessories: rhinestones, mini glue dots
