Welcome to this month's VC Rocks Blog Hop featuring Hostess Gifts and Non-Card projects! I happen to be stop number 2 with the 00 as the start VC Rocks
You might of came otherwise from stop number one... Mary Jo Price-Williams with her blog, Technostamper She does such wonderful work....Well I decided to clean yesterday, instead of working on my blog but I was cleaning the stamp room so that is good...so I am going to make a scrapbook page with MDS today. Did you know that Stampin Up is going to release a new MDS 2 as of Aug 1, 2012. Hope you enjoy this.
Well I did plan on doing a scrapbook page...but instead I made a calendar page with birthday and anniversaries. I used a 12 x 12 page, did a worn look DSP, added photos in the background and then made them very soft by turning the opacity way down...I used two different photos, one for the sky and one for the water. Then added the calendar, decided to use the balloons/opacity for the dates. Stamped the headers, and added text for the names. Also has additional notes for anything else. This could be printed on whatever size paper......I do need to get back into the MDS...and to buy more stuff for it......
Happy Birthday Daphne! Photos was from our trip to Lincoln City, Oregon for our anniversary....5 days at the coast and lots of walking the beach....
To continue the blog hop, the next stop is June Reister of June's Creations She has her projects up already for you.
Thanks for hopping with us...well back to my cleaning for now.....and then card making again.... We do love comments so please comment.......
