Good morning, and welcome to UDI’s MDS Monday Challenge #25 – Your Choice. We get to post whatever MDS project we pick this week. I’m showing you something a little different – a scrapbook page with no pictures. Do you ever have those memories that you want to journal, but you forgot your camera or your pictures didn’t turn out? Well, it happens to me more than I’d like to admit. (I’m a really bad photographer!)
For this particular page, I wanted to journal a Cruise from last year. We’d done a similar cruise in the past, so I didn’t take any pictures during Sail Away. And I hadn’t even gotten any pictures of the ship from our excursions. So I decided to treat the page like a card. I used some DSP, Punches, and Stamps to create my page layout and embellishments.
I love how the Nautical DSP, Sentimental Journey Stamps, and Open Sea Stamps work together to give the perfect backdrop for my cruise memories. And without any pictures, I had plenty of room for all that journaling :-)
Now it’s time to check out the other inspiring creations from the Design Team members at Utah Diva’s International.

Good morning, and welcome to UDI’s MDS Monday Challenge #20 – Celebrating Summer. Ok, if you look at the date on my page, you’ll notice this isn’t really a “summer” page. But it’s as close as I can get. Since I don’t have any kids, I take vacation in the Spring and Fall. I’ve realized I don’t take a lot of pictures in the summer unless it’s my niece and nephew’s birthday parties.
These pictures are from my first cruise out of New Orleans. I combined the Nautical Expedition Paper with The Open Sea and Sentimental Journey stamp sets. I love cruising so I should get a lot of use from all these downloads.

Good morning, and welcome to UDI’s MDS Monday Challenge #19 – Honoring Fathers! My scrapbook page features my dad. This is the first Heritage page I’ve done. Wow, they’re not easy. It’s hard to get the right look and feel for these old pictures. This is another reason I think MDS is so great. I can create pages. Then as my style improves, I can go back and tweak my pages before I send them to be printed.
I’ve seen this picture throughout my life. My mom always has it in her billfold, except when I talk her into letting me borrow it so I can have it scanned. As my parents are getting older, I want to get more of their memories down in writing. My dad loves to talk about his life. Ok, my dad loves to talk, PERIOD :-) But if you get him telling stories, he gets on a roll. My mom and I have learned some very interesting tidbits lately. My dad is absolutely the family clown and prankster. But we keep learning that he pulled more pranks and got into more trouble than we ever knew.
I want to say “Thank You” to my friend, Alice, for scanning some pictures for me. They came out better than I expected. I’ll have to scrap my parents wedding pictures and tell about their very interesting courtship.

Today, it’s more Rocky Mountain pictures. We’re now on the Trail Ridge Road headed down from the mountain tops. The views were incredible no matter where we looked. I’m from North Texas where the landscape is pretty flat. It was amazing looking down into the valleys and then across to more mountains. I definitely want to go back to Rocky Mountain National Park.
I used more of the Travel Journal Kit Download on these pages. Along with the Vintage Overlays to add texture to the 2nd page. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!

Anyway, I showed you part of my Rocky Mountain National Park vacation a couple weeks ago. I’ll show you the rest of the trip this week. We spent a day driving different routes and enjoying all the scenery. Today’s pictures are from the Old Fall River Road and Fall River Pass. I used the Travel Journal Digital Kit for my stamps and paper. Oh, and my “Exploring” page was inspired by Barb Dean’s page.
