MY DIGITAL STUDIO (MDS) - 10 Things I Love About You!

Create Create Create It's Endless with MDS!

There pretty well isn't anything that you can't create using MDS one of the things I like is the cost. You create what ever you want using the downloads you have purchased from cards to scrapbook pages to mini albums seriously you can create anything.  

So on one of my shopping trips I saw this and knew that I had to create my own version but 10 Things I Love About Being Your Friend. I would create the pocket and then make a front to it using MDS punch a small circle on the front and make little cards to go inside. Super simple and really it is!

10 Things Pockets with Varnish Accents

For my version I used Beau Chateau, one of my favourite vintage papers they also have a Beau Chateau Embellishments though I didn't use the embellishments but you could.

Beau Chateau Digital Papers

I simple set up one tag .8 w x 5.25 high, chose the font and pattern paper then repeated and change for the other nine and I have created my own version using what I had. For the front of the pocket I created a square 4.5 w x 5.25 h roughly and for the actual pocket I did it 5 w x 5.75 plus .5 on three sides for the flaps. Let me know if you want a diagram for this and I will do one that you can download and use.

You can see the whole mini album I did using this idea here

Handmade Harvest Craft Show

So I did my first craft fair a few weekends May 4 th to be exact in a local town called Almonte, Ontario about a 15 minute drive from where I live in Carleton Place. The show is well known for local artisans, crafter's and foodies and for it's line-ups at least 1 hour before opening with approx 50-100 people waiting to get in. The show is called Handmade Harvest and runs twice a year spring and fall/winter. 

With it being my first time I didn't want to invest to much money/time seeing I wasn't sure if it was my style so I shared a table with my good friend Cynthia from Simply Yours. We had a ball from checking out the other crafter's to taste testing and especially meeting new people.
