Digital Scrapbooking Day!

What is Digital Scrapbooking Day?
Digital Scrapbooking Day is officially celebrated the first Saturday in November. It was designed to remind people to set time aside to document their personal history digitally. To celebrate, Stampin’ Up! will be giving away free My Digital Studio downloads to anyone who wants them!

How will you get their free downloads?
Customers can get their downloads from your DBWS store or the Stampin’ Up! Online Store from October 29–November 5, 2012. To access the downloads they’ll need to create an online customer account if they don’t already have one.


Free 30-day trial of My Digital Studio 2

Try the MDS 2 software for FREE with the 30-day trial version. Available through my Stampin'Up! Online store.

 Why Digital?

Most of us wish we would have time to do those beautiful scrapbooks that some people do.

With Digital Scrapbooking you create everything on your computer - you add your digital photos to the pages, you can embellish them with stamps, punches, and other embellishments. Then it's up to you if you want to have them professionally printed or share them electronically! You can download individual pages on jpeg-form (most popular digital photo format) and share them with your family and friends via email.

Interested? Why not try the 30-day free trial - no obligation to continue after the trial period. Just remember to save (share) any pages you have created in JPEG form before your trial ends :-)

And you could create your own family Christmas card and either have it printed (yes, you can use the jpeg-file and print them at Staples or other similar printing place), or share them via email!

MOJO Monday 264

So my 2nd digital MOJO Monday card. I have to say that creating cards digitally seems to take longer than on paper... Partly due to technical issues and partly due to the lack of stamps and DSP available on MDS2.

The base is Very Vanilla with some opaque River Rock splatters. And the 3rd colour is Bravo Burgundy.

And I haven't figured out yet if I can do textured paper.... I think I need to research this more but I find the digital cards a bit "flat". This one I tried to use more shadows to give some depth, but it's not enough. And it was extra difficult to create the banner! It works, if you have a solid background (just punch out a square and colour the punch the same colour as the back ground. But when you have paterned or various back grounds... holy smokes! I guess it took me easily 30 minutes to make the banner cut... no more banners on digital cards for me :)

So I'll still be researching and studying the MDS2, but I think I'll keep it more as a tool for my blog desing and maybe digital scrapbooking.

Halloween Blog Header

I was not planning on posting my blog headers but I realized that once I change it - you won't be able to see it on my blog afterwards so I went and added a picture on one of my previous blogs and now here is a picture of my Halloween Blog Header.

I have already designed my Christmas blog header and I have to say, you want to see it - well.. I personnally think it's great :)

Halloween Card #2

This is the 2nd card we made this past Monday at the Halloween Card class.

It was also one card for my Halloween Card Buffet (so I had to keep it a secret until it was done :-)

I love the "Button Buddies" stamp set - it has a stamp for every possible occasion and you can include a button, or you can leave without.

Here is the entire set.

It's one of the set's I can warmly recommend if you are looking to buy your first set - it covers birthdays, Thanksgiving and Halloween, Christmas / Winter, Baby-cards and everything in between. Add a set of sentiments like "Teeny Tiny Wishes" or "Curly Cutes" and you are good to go.
