Superbowl XLVII My Digital Studio Football Scrapbook Page

Leave a reply

Super Bowl 2013-001

Images copyright Stampin' Up! 2013

It's here!  The big day for football, Super Bowl XLVII! Whether you're going to a Super Bowl party, having a Super Bowl party, or just have your own football pictures you'd like to scrapbook, here's an easy idea for a football scrapbook page layout and design! This page was made quickly in Stampin' Up!'s digital software program called My Digital Studio! I just chose a template that was already made up, deleted a few words, added my own football terms and footballs, and it's ready to go! If I had my own football players in the family I could put their photos in the photo boxes from my computer.  If I wanted to add photos of friends at a Super Bowl party, it's easy to do that.  If I wanted to make a page the traditional way, I can plan it on My Digital Studio first, then make it with ink, paper, and stamps. If I wanted to print out this page minus the pennants, I could do that, then cut my own pennants from designer paper and adhere them to the page.  Lots of choices with My Digital Studio!

While you're waiting for the game to start, why not download a free 30-day trial version of My Digital Studio?! Play around with it and see how you like it!

Enjoy the game!! (or maybe just the commercials and half-time!)

Decorate Your Thanksgiving Table with My Digital Studio!

Unknown Blessings

Special holidays call for special table settings and decorating your Thanksgiving table is probably one of the biggest ones!  Sara Brook, of the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio Team, put together this lovely place setting made with the Unknown Blessings Ensemble. It comes with everything you need to make these table decorations and really sounds easy!  Just use the digital feathers, filling in with whatever color paper you want, print, cut out and snip to look like feathers.  We all made Indian headbands in school I'm sure…just print out the headband, size correctly and add some feathers. The napkin rings are made the same way, just smaller! There's even a pie box to print and make, frameable art, menu cards, place cards….and whatever else you can think up using this digital set!

A College Graduation Swatchbook from My Digital Studio

Leave a reply

MDS Swatchbook Cover

I  may have mentioned before that I was working on a swatchbook in My Digital Studio, the Stampin' Up! digital papercrafting software, of my son's graduation photos. Finally I remembered to take some pictures of the swatchbook all made up! You can see there is a plastic cover on the front and back of the book and the whole thing is held together by the rivet in the corner. It is small….only 5 1/2" x 3 1/4", but that's why it is so cute and fun!  And don't think the small size kept me from squeezing in as many photos as I could! I have a hard time leaving out any photos because I think each one is valuable in its own way!

Graduation Swatchbook

The MDS Swatchbook just swings open. It has 26 pages to design. So I kept my pages in order skipping every other page because those then would be the backsides of the front pages. If that is a hard concept to wrap your head around, as it was for me, make a little swatchbook out of scrap paper and label your pages so you know what you are doing! When you start doing the backsides of the pages then you are working from the end to the front….so page 2 (the last page in your series) is on the back of page 1. It's confusing to explain even though it is very simple! And if you are not putting pages in order, then it doesn't matter anyway!

And printing prices for My Digital Studio have recently been reduced!  You CAN print any MDS projects yourself or at another printing company, but if you do it through Stampin' Up! you are assured of a quality product and precise Stampin' Up! colors. You can check out information about Stampin' Up! MDS Print Products HERE.

Start with the Swatchbook Template on My Digital Studio and make some cute little swatchbooks for Christmas gifts with those digital photos just sitting on your computer! I recommend purchasing MDS 2+ to get the most bang for your buck! You can get the software and "some" content with just MDS 2 for less money but the full version has SOOOO much content it really can't be beat!  But you do have choices, so whatever works for you….including just doing the Free 30-Day Trial!  No risk, and you can purchase downloads you want, print projects you make…everything….all during the trial period.  If you really want the hard discs, those are coming out soon! I recommend the download, though, so you can get it instantly and always have access to it.

Election Day 2012 Digital Card

Images copyright Stampin' Up! 2012

One thing I love about My Digital Studio is the ability to create something for any occasion….even Election Day! It's hard to believe it is finally Tuesday, November 6, 2012…Election Day in the USA! Although there are lots of candidates and proposals to vote on in most precincts across the country, the Presidential election is what most people are focused on today and every four years. No matter what, we all need to exercise our right to vote today….unless, of course, you have already voted early! It is our duty and obligation as American citizens to visit the voting booth and cast our ballot in the best interests of our community, state and country.

Change Your Clocks! Daylight Savings Time Come to an End!

CST-001

Change your clocks! Daylight savings time is coming to an end! Tonight…or tomorrow…however you want to look at it…it's time to change your clocks back to Standard Time. If you are up at 2:00 am, turn your clock back to 1:00 am.  Or whatever time it is when you go to bed, just turn the clock back one hour…although then you might think "It's not so late after all!" and opt to stay up another hour!  This is the night my mother always loved…time to turn back the clock, or "fall back", and gain an hour!  An extra hour of sleep! Or an extra hour to stamp, if you want to think of it that way..and who wouldn't??! I know lots of us seem to have our creative peak very late at night! And once you start being creative, you really can't go to sleep for quite awhile!

To remind us all to change our clocks, I made this little card in My Digital Studio! I started with the First Edition designer series paper and Soft Suede card stock. Then I found the Torn Edges stamp to make the First Edition paper look old and torn. I found the clock stamp, put a circle punch behind it so you couldn't see through the clock, and added a decorative overlay for that corner image.  And in MDS2+ there's even a splatter tool, which I changed to a "watermark" color.  The sentiment was actually an embellishment that I found and used the new "recolor" tool to change it how I wanted.

Columbus Day on My Digital Studio

My Digital Studio Columbus Day

Images © Stampin’ Up! 2012

Happy Columbus Day!  Here’s my crude little version of one of Columbus’s ships, the Santa Maria, in honor of Columbus Day!  I made it all in My Digital Studio, with no plan, no copying, just playing!! I just used punches to make the ship and the waves, even tried the new crop feature in MDS 2! I love all the new features in Version 2 of My Digital Studio! If you either own My Digital Studio or want to learn a little bit about it, you can visit www.mydigitalstudio.net.  It’s is a Stampin’ Up! site for My Digital Studio for customers and demonstrators. It’s actually a Ning site that you can join, but you might be able to just look it over without joining. There are places to ask questions and tons of videos from Stampin’ Up! as well as other demonstrators on how to use all the features in this digital papercrafting software.

Once you check it out, go get the My Digital Studio Free 30-Day Trial and play with it! If you’ve never done digital, yes, it will take a bit to get used to (i went crazy at first not having paper and stamps in my hands to move around and try out!) but it is not hard to learn! I learned it from no experience!  The more you use it, the faster you will become proficient….you only need practice, not great computer or digital designing skills!

Give it a try today! Just go to my Stampin’ Up! store  and you’ll be able to download the free trial in minutes!
