MDSing Again

Hi all,

By now I am guessing most of you out there have heard of the MDS phenomenon. I jumped on board about a month ago and have been experimenting ever since. I am a very tactile crafter in that I love feeling things in my hands, so this whole digital thing was very foreign to me. i am also not that computer savvy...which in its own part proved challenging.

This is the first (and only card and tags) I have done on MDS. I am still getting my head around the fact that I actually found scrapbooking easier on this programme!!!

The card is very bright (again not usually my palate). All DSP's, embellishments, trims, stamps and sentiments are form the free downloadables in the 30 day trial of MDS.

The tag (again) is very basic, but I DID manage to get a faint snowflake punch as a faint accent in the background.

Thanks for popping by today. Only a quick one as I am wrangling kids on School Holidays and creating MORE before my Free 30 Day trial expires in 5 days. promise to share more soon.

I Scrapped!!!!!

Morning all.

By now, most of you may have heard via the grapevine, other blogs, word of mouth or read it here first...about the digital scrapbooking and card making facility that Stampin' Up have called My Digital Studio (or MDS).

It's only $24.95 for the FULL version, which includes $600+ worth of content. You can download a FREE trial version for 30 days.  You have the potential through this software to do so much with it from Digital scrapbooking to cards, birthday invitations, birthday party decorations, Cake toppers, etc,etc,etc.....you are limited by your imagination!!!

MDS gives you the opportunity through their 30 day free trial (check it out here) and if you like what you do with it, then you have the opportunity through discs available in the main Catalogue (page 205) and the new Seasonal Catalogue (pg 5, 30 and 39 - hostess benefits) you can build a creative digital empire.

I have a blog friend - Nicole Derendorf - who is a genius at this kind of thing and has been BEYOND helpful in helping a non techno person like myself using this software. You can check out Nicole's amazing creations here. Just scroll through he blog and you will find many examples of her cleverness!!

Well....I hope you are all sitting down for the following reveal. I have watched my bestie scrapbook and marvelled at her creations. She has been AT ME for years to get off my backside and give it a go....well I did.....through MDS anyhow. This was my 1st attempt (click on the pic to make it larger)...

Now apparently, after you have "mastered a single page layout, you move onto a double page layout!!! This was the result.....

 

 

 

Now my 2 models are my children (now Miss 8 and Mast 12)....and yes...these pics were taken some time ago indeed.

I had a lot of fun (and more than a couple of bloopers) putting together these pages, but once you have a play....you DO get the hang of it....even if you are nearly computer illiterate like myself!!!

Thanks for popping by. Soooooooooooo much more to share!!
