MDS Tuesday





Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Tuesday !!!

Here are the 2 latest addition to our family- Miss Jilly and Mr. Bean.  The funny thing is we really do not know if we have 2 females, or 2 males or one of each.
I just purchased the MDS Flock Together and I thought it would make a cute scrapbook page. I added the ink splatter which is a new addition to the MDS2. I changed the opacity to 40% to just give it a muted look.  I used the DSP from the Book of Birthdays that I got for 31% off.  Hope you like it.
