MDSM9 - Subway Art

The most recent MDSMonday layout challenge was to create a layout using their sketch, but also to create 'Subway Art' which is a hot trend right now. Subway Art uses varying fonts and point sizes to create a 'word art' piece.

Of course, mine is football related.  I had fun putting all the words together - definitely need time to figure out how to arrange them all! Most of my words came from stamp sets (Sporting, Touchdown and Game Day), but I did use some text boxes as well.  I also took advantage of the stamp cropping function.

Here's the sketch it's based on:

New this week as part of the MDS new downloads is a Birthday under Construction digital kit, and a coordinating freebie!  And, in case you missed the news, the full MDS software is now available for the bargain price of $24.95!!  You can still try out the program for free for 30 days, but with the full price this low, you can't go wrong!!

Winter paradise - MDSM8

I was working on this page last night for the most recent MDSMonday challenge sketch. Little did I know that this morning I'd wake up again to a winter wonderland! There are only two weeks left of winter and I will truly miss it.

For the circles in the sketch, I used the snowflake stamps - I think they worked well!  

There was also a technique challenge included with this sketch - it was to rip your photos. It's so much less 'scary' to digitally rip photos that when they're prints!  All you need to do in MDS to rip your photos is to select a photo and then right click on the picture (or page element - you can rip paper this way too) and choose 'Rip Photo Edges' - so simple!

Stampin' Up! recently celebrated 200,000 likes on their Facebook page with another FREE digital download; isn't it pretty?  

Click here to download it - remember this can be used with any software, even Word.  But if you're not already an MDS user - why not start with the free 30 trial period?
