This page took me about 20 minutes, and pages like this will take me less time in the future as I grow more used to the software and all of the amazing elements of the program!

Over at my Sisters in Stamping blog today, my stamping sisters have also put together MDS projects, so you'll want to head over there and check out their creations!

If you'd like more information on My Digital Studio and purchasing the software for your own scrapbooking projects (the albums make great gifts for grandparents and once you've made one, you can just make multiple copies, rather than having to make separate albums), just let me know!  In addition to creating scrapbook pages and albums, you can also make cards, calendars, flyers and other items with the software!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fun weekend!!

The next time that you pack your bags for a fabulous trip, don’t forget to pack your laptop, too. When you have the My Digital Studio software (#118108) loaded onto your computer, you are ready to scrapbook – anytime, anywhere. Seriously.

Imagine taking time at the end of each day of your trip to load photos onto your computer, create a few pages with My Digital Studio, and add the details of who, what, where, when, and why. And if you find that you don’t have quite the right images for the pages you are creating, you can download new ones into My Digital Studio with the click of a button. At the end of your trip, you will have completely scrapbooked all of your trip photos and captured all of the thoughts and memories with your journaling. (No more trying to remember everything!) All you need to do is upload it to Stampin’ Up!’s printing service and your FINISHED scrapbook will be printed, bound, and sent back to you for you to enjoy.

No paper, no stamps, no albums, no embellishments, no adhesive … all you need is your computer with the My Digital Studio software loaded on to it. It travels with you everywhere and offers a simple way to creatively document your memories. And best of all, it gets your photos off of your computer, your camera, and even your phone, and into a scrapbook where they will be preserved and enjoyed for years to come.

My Digital Studio (#118108) is software that both traditional and digital papercrafters can enjoy. How is this possible? Well, if you like to save time, enjoy convenience, and desire to have a whole host of creative possibilities when you create, then you need to give My Digital Studio a look. Here’s why:

It Saves You Time and Money

-  You can create a project once and then just print however many you need.

-  My Digital Studio has photo-editing capabilities, so you can edit your photos as you create your layouts in MDS.

-  You’ll save on materials because My Digital Studio allows you to design “virtually” and once you have your design just right, you can create your project with paper and stamps or just print out as many as you need.

It’s Convenient

-  You can easily add more images, digital accessories, and templates instantly by purchasing My Digital Studio digital downloads. You will “virtually” have what you need, when you need it – just download it, and it’s ready to use. This allows you to create when time allows and creativity strikes – at all hours of day and night.

-  You can scrapbook your digital photos without having to print them out first.

-  When you have finished designing your project, you can choose the convenience of printing at home or you have the option to get high-quality color coordination at affordable prices using our professional print service.

It Inspires

-  You can get started right away because the software is intuitively designed. Whether you are a beginner or a digital expert, My Digital Studio won’t stand in the way of your creative process.

-  The possibilities are endless! You can create an assortment of printed and multimedia products … from cards to scrapbooks to calendars to DVDs.

So imagine creating recipe cards for a cookie exchange, Valentine cards for your child’s classmates, a scrapbook of your trip to Ireland while on your flight back home … all with the click of a mouse. Quick, easy, and convenient – even portable! And you can still add texture and dimension with ribbon and other accessories if you want to add that final touch. If this has your creative juices flowing or you just want to learn more, contact me to get started with My Digital Studio today!
