This week our challenge is to create a project with lots of buttons. I actually didn't have time to create a project - mostly because I put off sending in my entries for Stampin' Up's My Digital Studio contest to the very last minute. I did the same thing last year...you'd think I'd learn.
Anyway, I didn't want leave you all empty handed so I decided to repost a project I did a few months ago - it just so happens that I used a lot of buttons. =) It's one of the best pages I've ever done I think - and one of my favorites. I explained how I created the page in my orignal post, so if you haven't seen this already you're welcome to take a look.
This page did take awhile to create because I had so many layers and it slowed the program down, but since then SU has released a few updates to My Digital Studio and I think it runs much better. I'd recommend grouping your layers together - that seems to help.
Now you can hop on over to the UDI blog - I hope you enjoy the projects from our talented design team members!
I was working on a card for next week's MDS Monday and suddenly, inspiration hit. It occurred to me that I could make a rainbow and pot of gold out of punches. So...I messed around with the idea a little bit last night and then again this morning and here's what I came up with:
Honestly, I've never done punch art until a week or two ago, and now ideas are popping up in my head like crazy! Gotta love MDS :)
I know I said that I have some new stamps that are waiting to be used, but I saw this adorable card from a fellow UDI friend on Monday and just had to copy it. I've never really been into 'Punch Art', although I do love my punches. So I thought I might as well give it a try - and seriously, it was a blast!I used a square, circle, oval and a cupcake base flipped upside down. I used a square punch to cover the bottom of the scallops on the cupcake. Really, it was pretty easy and quick to put together. I plan to play a little more and come up with a few versions of this card, then send them to Stampin' Up! for printing. I need to update my card stash a little bit and this is a great option. A few minutes on MDS and then I can send away for multiple copies. Perfect. :)
