You will be amazed at all of the projects you can create in My Digital Studio - scrapbook pages, photo books, calendars, party favors, invitations, cards, tags, banners, etc. - the possibilities are endless!  

Here is one of my recent creations with My Digital Studio:


This is a 12x12 scrapbook page I created in My Digital Studio.  I love being able to bring my photos into this program at any size - and still have a high quality photo!  I even cropped this photo of my son at the beach and it still looks great!  My scrapbook albums are now a mix of digital and traditional scrapbook pages and I love it!

Here are my top 5 reasons 8 reasons to try digital scrapbooking with My Digital Studio:
  1. It's fun and easy - really!!
  2. You don't have to pull out all of your supplies every time you want to create.  All you need is your computer!
  3. If you have a laptop, it's portable.  You can do it anytime, anywhere!  I've been able to use My Digital Studio on vacation, on an airplane and at my son's 2 hour football practice!  It's great!
  4. A quicker way to get those photos off of your computer and into your scrapbook album or photo books!  If you're like me, you have hundreds of photos on your computer... waiting to be printed!
  5. As mentioned above, you can bring your photos directly into MDS at whatever size you want.  You can crop them, you can have them cover the entire page, you can journal right on them, you can tilt them, etc., etc., and they still look fabulous!!
  6. You can still have your favorite Stampin' Up! paper, punches, colors and stamps in My Digital Studio.  This is great for you hybrid creators out there.  (Combining traditional and digital designs).  For example, with the above layout I know that after I have it printed, I can add some Pool Party ribbon and Early Expresso buttons and they will coordinate perfectly!!  This is also great for tags and cards where you want to add some extra embellishments.
  7. Easy to duplicate!  If I've created a scrapbook page that I love, I can print two copies or use the exact layout in a photo book for a gift.  Also, if I want to create a two-page layout of the above design, I can duplicate the page with a click of my mouse.  Then, all I need to do is change the photo and journaling.  It's super quick and super easy!  (I promise!)
  8. Easy to journal.  For whatever reason....  I am so much better about journaling when I scrap digitally, then when I scrap traditionally.  I don't know why, but it's true!  Those of you that scrapbook know how important journaling is to tell the story of your photos!
So, those are a few of the reasons I love My Digital Studio.  I've tried several digital scrapbooking programs and My Digital Studio is my favorite for sure!  So, grab your computer and get your FREE 30-day trial of My Digital Studio Express to see for yourself!  I'd love to hear what you think!

For those of you that are local to me, I'll be offering a free class - Intro to My Digital Studio - next week!  Bring your laptop and we'll create a 12 x 12 page together!  If you don't have a laptop, you can still come and see what this program is all about!

Thanks for visiting my blog!  Email me if you have any questions or leave a comment below.  I'd love to hear from you!

Masculine Scrapbook Layout

Hi!  I am thoroughly enjoying my 3-day weekend - how about you?!  I have so much to do to get ready for my trip to San Antonio next week for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference - soooo excited!  But, I did a quick digi-layout this morning that I wanted to share with you.  My Digital Studio is REALLY helping me get caught up on my scrapping.  :)


This layout is of my hubby and sweet boys on Father's Day.  We bought him a really cool portable grill that we can take to the pool and tailgating.  It was designed by Paul Jr. from that motorcycle show he loves - so he was pretty excited about it!  :)

Most of this layout uses the Number One download.  It has a great masculine feel to it! The little journaling block is from there as well.  If you don't have the digi-bug yet, this layout would be easy to duplicate using traditional scrapbooking.  I never know ahead of time which photos to print bigger - so I love being able to make my photos whatever size I want in My Digital Studio!  So easy!!

For those of you that are signed up for Stamps 2 Go, I'll be mailing those out the end of this week!  I'll be posting info about February's Stamps 2 Go kit soon!

Thanks for visiting!

More Free Digi Downloads!

Hi!  I just returned from a fun girls' weekend where I got lots of scrapbooking done and cards made!  Of course, there was also tons of laughing, sharing, eating and talking!  :) I did mostly digital scrapbooking this time using My Digital Studio.  It was so much easier not to pack so much stuff!  All I really needed was my laptop!  Here is one of the layouts I did:


This photo is from our first family ski trip!  I'm glad I finally got this picture scrapbooked - it's the only photo I have of the four of us together!  (Don't you hate that?!)  I was inspired to scrap this photo when I saw the patterned paper in the FREE "Day in the Life" digital download.  You have until tomorrow, January 10th to click the above link and download it for FREE.  You don't want to miss this fun download!

I've found that I love using sketches for my digital scrapbook layouts as well as my traditional scrapbooking!  I used sketch #189 from the Creative Scrappers blog for this layout.  Make sure and check out all of their wonderful sketches and layouts - lots of inspiration over there!

Also, don't forget that tomorrow is the last day to sign up for January's Stamps 2 Go! Kits will be mailed January 20th.  You'll also receive this fun stamp set:


Thanks for stopping by!!  Hope you have a super fun and creative week!
