Convention 2013 - Scrapbook Page Swap 2

For this group I had December.  Again, I designed this layout in My Digital Studio first and then assembled it from actual cardstock, stamps, and accessories.  It made it so much easier to move things around, change colors, and arrange the layout digitally before doing all the cutting and stamping for real.  For the decorative edges, I scored the paper using the Simply Scored and the Borders Plate, then cut the design out by hand. 

Supplies:
Stamp Set(s) - Ornamental Keepsakes, More Merry Messages
Card Stock - Real Red, Old Olive, Whisper White, Polka Dot DS
Ink - Real Red, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, StazOn Black
Accessories - Big Shot, Top Note Die, Holiday Ornaments Framelits, 1/8" Real Red Taffeta Ribbon, Glue Dots, Brights Glimmer Brads, Paper Piercer, Simply Scored, Simply Scored Borders Plate

Convention 2013 - Scrapbook Page Swap 1

For my Scrapbook Swap I am in two different groups.  In each group there is someone assigned to each month so at the end of the swap everyone had a two page spread for each month of the year.  For this group I had November.  I actually designed both of my page spreads in My Digital Studio (MDS) and then assembled them with actual paper and product.  MDS is a great tool for planning and layouts, not just digitally scrapbooking.

Supplies:
Stamp Set(s) - Woodgrain
Card Stock - So Saffron, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke
Ink - So Saffron
Accessories - Big Shot, Bigz Alphabet Typeset, Bigz Autumn Accents, Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, Simply Scored, Simply Scored Borders Plate
