Rochelle threw us a five-photo sketch for MDS Monday, which is awesome when you have lots of photos.  Well, who doesn't?  And an additional twist of adding numerals to your layout.

I have been dragging my heels on some pages of my daughter's first skating show, because I just didn't know what kits/papers would coordinate and I don't have any skate stamp brush sets. So how about no papers?  I can't believe I didn't use any, but I kinda love it!  And I had two pages of five photos each ~ awesome!

Ok, so I am here to tell you that MDS and photo editing go together like carrots and peas!  I used another trick on my page with Photoshop.  Here's how it goes - color the "fantabulous you" stamp image on a blank page in Basic Black and export as a jpeg.  Import into Photoshop, and fill in the "YOU!" with the paint bucket color of your choice.  I did some color matching to my daughter's dress.  Although I love the freeform coloring layer, coloring in "YOU!" perfectly was impossible.  Use the magic wand to highlight the white area, then select > inverse to highlight only the lines/words.  Copy and paste into a new document.  I did have to go inside some of the "loop" areas of "fantabulous" and just select and delete so the background was transparent.  Save as a .png and import back into MDS as a photo.  Got that?  Easy?  :)
