Stampin’ UP!’s My Digital Studio

It arrived last Thursday, and I’ve been looking at it on my desk since then…

I’ve waited since convention to get it in my hands so why am I hesitant???

Honestly, (for all those of you who know me will agree), I’m not all THAT computer savy. I am more so than my sweet hubby, but like many of those ‘my age’ (being that of the techno-dinosaurus era) we plink and plod as best we can and sometimes it works, and a lot of the times it just doesn’t! So I was afraid I couldn’t do it until I had ‘lots of time’ to work it out. I have to tell you, it worked like a charm! It was everything I had expected and anticipated and was just so wonderfully easy. Of course, I’ve seen it demo’d several times, and participated in a webinar a couple of weeks ago, so I had actually seen it in action, which did help LOTS! But within about an hour and fifteen minutes, I had created six scrapbook pages and five cards. Whoa!!! I didn’t print the scrapbook pages, I started a Football album for our #1 star Falcon (a.k.a. Colin), but here is one of the cards…

In the program….I loaded the template, changed the background color, changed the flower shape, added a button embellishment, deleted a line of text, re-sized the other two lines, changed the color of the box at the bottom of the flower, changed the color of the text and printed it out.

In my Stamp room…I cut it out from the page, adjusted the size so that I would have a 1/8″ all-around white border on my card base, mounted it on a standard Whisper White Card, punched a Five Petal Flower from Summer Sun Card stock, and mounted that with Stampin’ dimensionals. Added the Bashful Blue flower button from our Designer Buttons tied with white embroidery thread using a Mini Glue Dot and VOILA!!!

I have to tell you I am pretty darned AMAZED. I’ll let you see one of the other cards on Thursday!
