Time for some MDS

If you're interested in trying digital papercrafting, Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio program is for you. The number one rule of MDS is to not be afraid of it! You know why? Because there's an Undo button! If I accidentally cut a piece of cardstock the wrong size, or crop my photo too small while traditionally crafting, I'm wasting supplies. If I do that in MDS, I get to just click the undo button and try again. Plus, there's no little scraps of paper everywhere and no supplies to put away before little hands get a hold of them!

Best of all, once you get used to the program, you can design things very quickly. From start to finish, this layout took me about a half an hour. If I was working traditionally, it would have taken me a lot longer. Plus I'd never dream of putting scotch tape on my photos, but I've got no problem adding some digital tape! I will definitely be doing more MDS projects throughout this year, because even though I've had the program for well over two years, there's still lots of tricks I need to learn. Who knows, maybe I'll even get some things accomplished in Kenny's scrapbook. He's 3 and his scrapbook only has about six pages in it. Horrors!

I love making digital photos look like Polaroids. Remember how magical it was to stand and watch the photo develop? This is easy to do - just add a Whisper White cardstock layer behind your photo and make it a bit bigger on the bottom. Gives you a fun place to add journaling too.
