Here is the latest scoop from the Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City! Today Sara Douglass confirmed that MDS2 will be released for purchase on August 1. There will be a few features that will not be included as the beta checking for them is not completed and there may be bugs not yet worked out. As these features are completed, we will get free updates. Wednesday night I got to play with the new MDS2+. It is so exciting. I will be purchasing the complete program for $79.95 even though I have the full MDS program now because the MDS2+ has $500 worth of new digital content. The $19.95 upgrade does not include the new content, just the new changes to the software.

Here are my top 5 favorite new features:

1.  Watermark Option – change the color to white and opacity to 10% with just one click.

2.  Supply list – View a list of items used on a page.

3.  Text on a path – Add text to any line style to create your own curvy verses.

4.Global Search – Simultaneously search across content types -stamps,punches,embellishments

5.  Color in stamps!

Stay tuned for the next 5 new features.

Until next time…blessings,

I I have just a quick post for you today. We are on the road in our 5th wheel trailer on our way to Salt Lake City and the Stampin' Up! convention. We stopped last night at LaGrande, Oregon. I wanted to show you one of the new downloads I purchased on Tuesday…Terrific Tuesday. I was so happy that the Everything Eleanor stamp set is now in digital form. I originally didn't think I would like this set but have fallen in love with it. I also used a Vintage Overlay stamp brush set to provide testure to the background. Click here to see the new downloads and order those you like.

I appreciate you stopping by to visit. Do come again. I'll be posting things from convention next week as well as my regularly scheduled posts.

Until next time…blessings,

This Monday, our challenge for My Digital Studio Monday was to use the colors found in this photo, Basic Gray, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, and Very Vanilla. 
I enjoyed using these colors but had a heck of a time coming up with the design. One of the beauties of My Digital Studio is that you can change things with a click of the delete button and no paper was wasted. :o) I am pleased with the final version of my card.

Now I challenge you to create a card or scrapbook page using these same colors. Email your creation to me and I'll post it on my blog. Let's see how many variations we can get. I look forward to your creations!

Tomorrow is Terrific Tuesday. Come back and see what I decided to purchase from the new downloads.

Until next time…blessings,

Welcome to My Digital Craft Corner on this rainy Tuesday in SE Alaska. Well…it is still a terrific Tuesday because we get new digital downloads for My Digital Studio today. Check them out here and then order the ones that catch your fancy.

I used the Natural Composition Overlays to create texture on my background by stamping it in the same Certainly Celery color as the card stock and changing the drop shadow to Always Artichoke with opacity and blur at 100%. I shrank down the Cottage Wall dsp so the pattern would show in the butterfly. As a final touch, I added three dahlias in Perfect Plum on the butterfly.

I hope you take time to emjoy a virtual iced coffee or tea while you browse through my blog. As always, you can click on the supply names to order those you need to recreate this card.

Welcome to My Digital Studio Monday.The photo on the right is of a traditional Father's Day card we made in a recent workshop. Inside it says "…a Happy Father's Day. It is the card my hubby received today. I decided to challenge myself to create this card digitally for My Digital Studio Monday. The card on the left is my digital one. I think I came pretty close!

I used the half-circle punch to create the waves just like I did on the traditional card. The fishing pole is an arrow I made really narrow and elongated. The fishing line is that flag punch just really elongated and made very narrow. The little fish is from the Summer Splash stamp brush set (126039).

I had a lot of fun creating this card using My Digital Studio. You can have this fun too by giving the program a try. You can even try it with no committment. All you have to do is click here to order and download your FREE 30-day trial of My Digital Studio Express. You will have 30 days to play and create with the program. After the 30 days, you either have to order it from me or the trial will be over. I will be delighted to have you take me and Stampin' Up! on this great offer. I love using My Digital Studio and I love teaching others how to create with it too.

Until next time…blessings,
