Mojo Monday 238

It's retirement season and I pulled out some of my retiring sets and made some new cards. I am also enjoying using the soon-to-retire In Colors  and Designer Series Paper. Use the links of the left side of this blog to see the list of retiring stamps and accessories. Don't miss out on your favorites!

My inspiration today comes from the Mojo Monday sketch 238. I love this sketch for using up scraps of Designer Series Paper. Give it a try with some of your scraps! I'd love to see what you come up with.

Stay tuned for more samples from retiring stamp sets later this week!

Digital Tuesday - Twitterpated Scrapbook Page

 Today's project was created in My Digital Studio using a scrapbook sketch from the Sketchy Thursday blog.

 Download the free 30-day trial version of My Digital Studio and give this sketch a try!

 Stamping Vogue Tips:

• The page background is Crumb Cake. I used a technique I read about on mydigitalstudio.net to layer several of the Vintage Overlays in Soft Suede to create a distressed background.
• The long rectangles in this sketch are perfect for highlighting the beautiful papers available in My Digital Studio.
• The Twitterpated background pages provide the perfect color palette for these adorable pictures of my nieces. 
• Use the square punch to create the long rectangles and fill them with designer paper. Rotate the rectangles until you get exactly the arrangement that you want.
• The alignment tools allow you to arrange the photo blocks so that they line up perfectly.

 Digital Content:

• Vintage Overlay Stamp Brush Set (121061)
• Twitterpated Swatchbook template (125615)

Today's project uses the Twitterpated Swatchbook template. This was so easy to use. I had a great set of photos from a family photo shoot at the beach. The hardest part of the whole project was deciding which photos to use! The swatchbook is ready for you to drop in your photos. On the back of each page, I added a journaling box to include the names of the family members in the picture on the front of the page. Easy, peasy!  

Here are a few of the pages:

Stamping Vogue Tips:

• Templates are so handy when you need to make a quick project. Add your photos and journaling and you are good to go.
• Choose your best photos to use in your project. Group them in a folder on your PC to make them easy to access and drag onto your project. 
• Use the zoom feature to get up close and personal with your photos!
