Welcome to MDS Monday

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend!  It was a great weekend here and we got some much needed rain!  We are near the part of Texas that has been ravaged by wildfires over the past couple of weeks so it was a real blessing!  This week for MDS Monday we were to create an Easter project.  I love this quote by Richard Bach and thought it was perfect for this!  You can see what all the other Designers have created HERE.

Here's my project:

Have a wonderful week!!!!!  I'll leave you with this as well.  My friend, Tina, says that it's just not Easter without hearing the Hallelujah Chorus and she could not find a church presenting this work in her area so in case any of you were in the same boat, this is for you!

MDS Monday 4/11

Did you know that there are other things you can do with My Digital Studio besides Scrapbooks and cards?  We also have calendars, rivet scrapbooks, tags and journals!  This week our challenge was to use either a bird stamp or punch so I combined The Write Stuff II and Cheep Talk and created the Garden Journal cover. Enjoy!

You can see the rest of the Design Team's creations HERE at the UDI Blog.    Have a great week!!!!
