Happy New Year! & MDS Monday 95

It has been a long time since I have participated in a challenge.  But I only have 5 more months until retirement from my job at school.  So excited to be entering a new phase of my life.  One thing I plan to do is put more effort in my card making and Stampin' Up.  And I want to do more challenges!

I had a little time last night while waiting for the ball to drop and created a page for MDS Monday 95.

My granddaughter had a lot of fun opening her gifts this year!  She just turned 2 a few days earlier and so had lots of practice.  

Thanks for stopping by!  I wish you all a very blessed 2015!

MDS Monday gave us a simple sketch challenge this week.  Good for me since I am finally getting it done at the last minute!

MDS Monday's sketch included the challenge to highlight something we love.  What could be more loveable than a granddaughter's smile?!

I made a card the other day for Pixel Maven's Digi Challenge sketch.  I wanted to make a page using the same sketch and this is the result.

I like this week's sketch for the MDS Monday challenge.  I created my boxes on my page and then went searching for the photos I could use.   Love these pics of a beautiful sunrise!

MDSM75 OOPS!

MDS Monday had a great sketch this week.  I got right on it and created this page, but didn't have time to post it and link it to the site.  So..........I forgot to go back and do it until today and it is too late!  I am happy with the way this page turned out so I decided to post it anyway.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pixel Maven Digi Challenge for this week is a sketch.  It seems to be designed more for a card than a scrapbook page.  And for some reason, cards on MDS are not my favorite thing to do.  But I gave it a shot and here is the result.  I might just go ahead and use the sketch for a scrapbook layout, also.

I chose to let MDS choose my color combo and clicked on "surprise me" and I got bashful blue, marina mist, riding hood red, whisper white and sahara sand.
