TSSC 256 (MDS Projects)

I did something different this week for the Techno Stamper (Monday Lunchtime) Sketch Challenge.  When I first saw the sketch I thought of a scrapbook page.  Then I decided to use My Digital Studio (MDS) to create it.  I'm going to walk you through how I ended up submitting a card for the challenge so you can see just how easy it is to get a variety of projects from one idea.  I like all three projects and hope you do, too.

Here is this week's sketch:

 

 Here is the 8.5" x 11" scrapbook page I designed in MDS.  With the background paper that I chose, it really went together quite quickly:

 You could add as many or as few photos as you'd like.  This is how I chose to finish my page:

Embellishments
    Designer Kits\You're My Sunshine - embellishments - large flower 1
    Designer Kits\You're My Sunshine - embellishments - large flower 2 (two of them)

Punches
    Basics\1.25 Square Punch, Fill Color = SO SAFFRON (4 - to make mats behind photos and journaling)
   
Photos (used photo box w/mat)
    

Looking at the scrapbook page, I decided that with a few changes it would make a nice card.  Using the option to Change Project Size/Type (under Edit), I easily made a card.  I changed the sentiment to hello, which seemed like a good sentiment for this card.  The stamp originally was black, but there is an option to easily change the color.

As I was using the Search feature to look for a sentiment that I'd like on the card, I ran across a set I hadn't seen before (Adventure Awaits).  I really liked it and decided that I had to make a card with it.  I also thought it needed a new sentiment, so I picked one from Daring Adventure.  That's one of the many great features in MDS.  Once you have a project, you can easily make changes to end up with similar but different projects.  Here's the final card I made.  It is also my sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge (though any of them would have worked).

Stamps
    Daring Adventure\Daring Adventure - or nothing

Adventure Awaits\Adventure Awaits - hot air balloon 

Funny thing, while looking at the balloon card I thought that if I shrunk down the stamps a bit that it would make a good scrapbook page.  It would be easy enough to do...

I hope you've enjoyed seeing the projects today and the thought process behind going from a scrapbook page to a card that only has one item the same as the original.
