MDS Monday #5

I'm not really into St. Patrick's day - never have been - but since this week we were supposed to use green in our designs I thought, why not? I could have done any number of things, but I thought it was as good a time as any to move out of my comfort zone. I looked on Stampin' Connection for some inspiration and found this card by Meryn Foster. Loved it! Had to copy it!




I studied it for a few minutes and thought I could make my own using MDS. Punches are my new favorite thing ;) Here is my version:



When lining up the buckles and the brads, I found the easiest thing to do was click "Arrange", "Align" and then you can choose "Top", "Middle" or "Bottom". Play around with it a little bit and you'll get comfortable with it quickly - it's super easy. I found a video tutorial on MyDigitalStudio.net by Heather Summers that will show you what I'm talking about .

As always, the girls over at UDI have done a great job on their designs. Make sure to check them out!
