Wacky Wednesday Post

Wacky Wednesday – means anything goes J.

Today I will show you some cards that I created using My Digital Studio. I have sent them off to the printer and will get them back soon. I will share the finished product too. I have heard the printing and quality is ABSOLUTELY amazing!!!!

First, here is a birthday card. Too cute. And, so easy!!!

And, here is a friend card. I really like the simplicity of the card. I like how different elements are put together for the card.

Stop back later for Part 2 -- when I show you the printed cards J.

Isn’t this just the absolute cutest?

My customer sent me this file yesterday morning. I am so in LOVE. I wonder if she wants to give up the baby? Can you smell her? Aaahhhh J.

She is absolutely beautiful. And, her mom is amazing? She has hardly had My Digital Studio in her hot little hands and she is already creating like crazy! She has created this beautiful birth announcement using the software.

Love, love, love it. Another awesome thing about My Digital Studio (MDS for short) is that it is very shareable.

Have a Great Tuesday. It is an AWESOME week. I had an Open House with a new downline last night that was a ton of fun. Then, a hostess club tonight. Petal Pizzazz tomorrow night. Friday and Saturday is the Expo for her. Busy week, but a lot of fun!

A Few more Hawaii pages… and a hint

The pages again were made using Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio – MDS for short.

Here is my hint. When you are ready to make a book (as is what I have done here), you have a choice to start with a template, just pictures, or have the program auto populate your pictures in a template. So, here is what I did. I chose the template I wanted (thus the birds and colors, etc.). I told it to auto populate my pictures. So, I went through my directory and picked out all the pictures. You can have it auto populate based on a to z of file name or date I think. I did it based on file name. So, my pictures are arranged in my book alphabetically based on file name. How easy is that???? Not too tough J.

New Class -- A Year of Charms.

Have a FANTASTIC Thursday. We'll chat later J.

MDS again :-)

I hope you love seeing these pages. They are really easy to put together. The hardest part (when looking through a big project) is sorting out all the pictures. How come I don't just delete the duds from the beginning? Uughh! Or, make a dud folder. Hmmmm. Once I had the completed, the task went really, really fast. Actually, including the weeding of 1000 pictures and putting a 25 page album together, I only have three hours into the project. I think I did pretty good!!!!

Here is one of the two page spreads. I am doing my Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip to Hawaii from earlier this year.

Here is how the two pages looking together.

Here are the pages as separate pages.

New Class -- A Year of Charms.

School days, school days, happy golden rule days

Yeah, if you would see a picture of me the day school started, my smile would be just as big as theirs J.

I did a little more playing with my software today. MDS (My Digital Studio) from Stampin' Up! is so awesome. I love how easy it is to use. I love that I can start with a template (in this case I started with a Baby Boy template) and modify it. I liked the layout of the page and I also liked the colors. So, I took off all the baby stuff and put in things from the School Days stamp set. You cannot beat the versatility! The software is only $79.95, but truly packs a punch for digital scrapbooking. And, Stampin' Up! is NOT ripping you off with their printing services. $2.95 for a 12 x 12 printed page. Amazing!!

I am enjoying the evening. I will have stuff out there tomorrow for you to see of my Open House. Wednesday is the last day to order from the Open House and get free shipping on your order. See here for more details.

Have a fantastic day!

My Little Guy…and all of his craziness!!

Aren't these just the silliest pictures?  We asked dear son to show us Elmo.  He did all right -- held him up by the eyeballs.  Poor Elmo.  He just laughed right along with us.

This is another scrapbook page made with the new My Digital Scrapbook.  I had a bunch of fun with this page.  One of the things you can do is start with a pre-setup (template) page.  That is what I did.  I then changed the background color.  I also "brought to the front" that pumpkin pie circle.  Honestly, there are so many things that you can do it is simply amazing!  And, if you do not want to do anything different, it is no big deal.  Have I told you that printing a 12 x 12 page through Stampin' Up! is so easy and economical?  Create your pages in My Digital Scrapbook.  "Shoot" them over to Stampin' Up! for only $3.95.  You CANNOT beat that!  As a demonstrator, I can order a scrapbook printed this week.  I need to get mine finished and get it sent in.  My Digital Scrapbooking and printing will be available to all of you on October 1.  You can pre-order yours be sending me an e-mail to sandy@stampinsandy.com.  The software is $79.95.  I will order the software for you first thing on October 1.  It will be delivered directly to your front door!

Monday, September 14 MDS and OH

What is all that? I will decode J. MDS = My Digital Studio and OH = Open House.

That means – I have a couple of 12 x 12 pages to show you that I created using My Digital Studio. And, today is the start of my 2-Day Open House. It will be so much fun. Projects are ready to go. Space is set up. Brownies are made. What could be better?? To learn more about the open house and the special of the two days, visit here.

For the scrapbook pages I chose my daughter to showcase. Last week was her birthday J. 10 on the 10^th. Where does time go????

I am LOVING this software. So easy to use! We didn't take many pictures on vacation, but our friends did (I should rephrase that – I actually took NO pictures on vacation.) But, I would like to scrapbook our vacation. I better get with my friends and get the pics. It is so easy to make a whole album that can be a bound book using this software. I thought our vacation would be fun project to do this way.

Happy Monday!

Make sure you are signed up for my newsletter – Click here if you are not. I will be sending out projects for the 12 weeks of Christmas here soon. The only way to see these projects is by being on my mailing list. They will NOT be anywhere else!

MDS is Here!

What is that??  My Digital Studio. There are so many things that you can do with this.  It was mainly created to be  digital scrapbooking program.  So, that means you can do all of your scrapbooking on your computer if  you want.  A new term that has evolved is Hybrid Digital Scrapbooking.  What that means is this.  Create your pages using the MDS.  Print them.  Then, go back and add some tangible items -- ribbon, brads, etc.  Then, you can combine the two.  Too neat!!

Stampin' Up! has gone above and beyond with this software.  I think you will seriously be amazed!  There are templates that you can start with.  There are different sizes of scrapbooking pages you can start with.  There are templates for cards and other printable things.  Or, you can start from scratch.  You decide.

I decided to go ahead and make a card for my daughter.  It is her birthday today.  Her golden birthday :-).  She is pretty excited about that!

 

Pretty cute I think!
