Great Reason to Use My Digital Studio #7: Use Digital Downloads from MDS in Photoshop (if you already use it)

Maybe you are smarter than me and understand how to use Photoshop. Maybe you’ve even been using Photoshop for years for digital scrapbooking. I have great news for you! My Digital Studio content downloads CAN be used in other software besides MDS.

And…

Great Reason to Use My Digital Studio #8: Use Digital Content from Other Sources (non-MDS) in the MDS Software, Too!

Digital content from sources other than My Digital Studio can be used in MDS! As long as they are compatible with the program and you know where to put them in your program files, you’ll be able to use them similarly to how you use the regular MDS content!

I hope by now you are as excited about this My Digital Studio software as I am! I’d love to show you even more, so RSVP today for my FREE “Getting Started with My Digital Studio” class on November 7th.

24 Quick & Easy Cheerful Tags!

24 quick and easy Christmas gift tags! Visit www.mirrorimagecrafts.com for more projects!

I made these 24 Christmas gift tags in less than an hour. I used the Note Tag Punch, Trim the Tree designer paper stack, and the Cheerful Tags photopolymer stamp set. We’ll make tags during my Handmade Holidays class too, so plan to attend on November 14th! The tags we will make for class will be slightly different (bigger) and we will make about 8-10 of them rather than 24 – because we have FOUR other projects to make that night!

Head over to my Facebook page to never miss a project I post there! I appreciate it! Have a crafty day!

Great Reason to Use My Digital Studio #5: Huge Variety of Themes & Styles

Not every crafter has the same style of creating, and My Digital Studio has versatility to meet your needs. The MDS software comes loaded with tons of content: cute, frilly, elegant, masculine, holiday or occasion-themed. And additional content is available for download, if you are looking for something specific. Stampin’ Up! introduces new downloads every month, so there’s always something new!

Great Reason to Use My Digital Studio #6: Fonts

Did you know that My Digital Studio DOES NOT come with any fonts? What? That’s crazy! No, it’s brilliant! MDS uses the fonts that you have loaded onto your computer, so anytime you want to add a new font to use for your computer, you’ll also be able to use it in your digital crafting! And there are SO many great fonts available on the internet, and many of them are absolutely FREE! Be careful, however… you might develop a “font addiction” like I did!

Join me on November 7th in my Stampin Studio. We’ll play with the MDS Free 30-Day Trial software together, and you’ll even leave with a make & take hybrid project! RSVP by November 4th by emailing me – the sooner the better – Registration closes at 8 attendees!

Great Reason to Use My Digital Studio #3: Switch Easily Between Projects / Work on Projects in Any Amount of Time You Have Available

We’ve talked about the mess than can be created with traditional scrapbooking and crafting. Imagine your craft area in its messiest state, and then imagine trying to quickly change to a different project using all new supplies. PHEW! I cannot even wrap my mind around that scenario!

When I’m using My Digital Studio, I easily switch back and forth between projects. The program even reminds me to save my work before I switch! Because I have some days where my focus is a little less, um, focused, being able to change projects so simple is really a great feature!

In addition, sometimes you may have only 20 minutes to accomplish something, which is easy with MDS. You may not be able to complete a scrapbook album in 20 minutes, but you can definitely get something done in that amount of time.

Great Reason to Use My Digital Studio #4: Change Photos to Any Size, Shape, Color, Zoom, etc.

You’re a scrapbooker. You’ve got TONS of photos. These days, your photos are probably on your computer, waiting to be printed. Am I right? Or, if you are organized enough to print them on a regular basis… how much room do these photos take up in your home?

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t ever print your photos. But if you are using My Digital Studio to do your scrapbooking, then let me save you a step. Drag and drop your photos into your pages & albums. Crop, resize, zoom, change to black & white. Then print your pages or albums, already completed!

If you already use the MDS software, let me know in the comments what you’ve created! If you haven’t tried the software yet, plan to attend my FREE “Getting Started with My Digital Studio” class on November 7th. We’ll cover the basics of the program, and you’ll leave feeling confident about using the software. I promise it’s easy! Email me here to RSVP or ask any questions.
