MDS Tuesday

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Tuesday !!!

Here is an easy project for MDS that I made using the Snowflake Trimmings Punch.  I also used the Winter Post stamp brush set.  I just paste the pictures and it worked out really cute as a scrapbook page.
I changed the main page using Sahara Sand c/s, removed the sentiment and replaced it with the snowflake.  That is the beauty of the MDS- you can move, remove and change things the way you wanted it to BE. I also converted it into a 12 x 12 layout. Hope you like it.

MDS Tuesday

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Tuesday !!!

My DH totally surprised me and planned an early b-day getaway last weekend. I knew we were going (after thanksgiving) but not sooner. We met up with my BFF, her daughter and grandbaby sort of last minute thing but it worked out wonderfully. I had the most fun shopping at my favorite store (Brighton) going on a unique adventure over 8,000 feet aerial tramway and had the most breathtaking view ever. I made this scrapbook page and tried to capture the experience. Hope you like it.
