MDS 139 A Special Place for Baby Scrapbook Page

Did you know that no fonts come with My Digital Studio (MDS)?  Nope.  You use the fonts that are on your computer!  How cool is that!  Plus, not only can you color fill a punch, you can paper fill it too as I did with the word ‘Place’.  And look at the tear I have across the bottom of one mat!  That was done with a stamp then color matched to my background paper!  Too neat! 

If you are thinking about digital scrapbooking, now is the time to do it!  You can download MDS for a free 30 day trial period.  Click on the Shop Now button at the top of my Blog for more info.  You will be hooked!

MDS 123 Simple is Beautiful Scrapbook Page

 

One of the features of MDS that I used on this page was the ability to crop an embellishment!  The zigzag stitch under the phrase was 12” – I cropped it to 3” by right clicking on it then Edit Object.  Once that window opens, change the W to the width you want then hit your Tab button and it will automatically adjust the H (height).  It’s that simple!  I’m using a PC.  I’m sure there can’t be much difference with the Mac. My Digital Studio starts with nearly 2,000 unique elements--stamps, embellishments, templates, kits, punches, Designer Series papers, card stock, borders, and more.  PC and Mac compatible.  It is offered FREE to first time users for a free 30 day trial period.  
With the FREE 30-day trial, you’ll get:
* Full access to the software at NO COST for 30 days
* Full access to design tools to create cards, photobooks, calendars, and more
* Full access to a sample of exclusive artwork
* The chance to buy additional downloads that you can keep after your trial expires
* Ability to order your projects from our professional print services
To use the software more than 30 days, buy the full MDS software (item 130646) for only $24.95!  You heard me right!  Click on the ‘Shop Now’ button at the top of my Blog to get you to the right spot.

MDS 122 Lullaby and Good Night Scrapbook Page

Found a new challenge on the Stamping Down Under Blog and you know how I LOVE sketches!!  I am presently scrapping our youngest daughter’s pictures from 2009.  She hasn’t done the journaling for this page yet.  Can’t believe how fast the little ones grow!  Besides following Nichole’s sketch, the only other thing I did was crop my title to fit into the curly label punch.  Anything is possible with MDS!  If you are thinking about digital scrapbooking, you can download MDS (My Digital Studio) for a free 30 day trial period.  Click on the ‘Shop Now’ button at the top of my Blog for more info.  You will be hooked!

MDS 113 Photos in Punches

Do you ever wish you had the time to get out the doilies, glue, and glitter and scrap a page or make a card make for someone you love? If your schedule is packed, My Digital Studio could be your answer. It’s fast, it’s mess-free, and it’s a blast to use. Try it right now for FREE with their 30-day trial!  Click on the ‘Shop Now’ button at the top of my Blog for more info. 

Most of us rarely ever put a photo into any other shape than a rectangle or square.  And while it’s fun to fill your punches with bright colors or Designer Series Papers, did you know that you can fill any punch shape with a photo in MDS?

There is a Photos in Punches Challenge on Kimberly and Heather’s Facebook page this week.  I submitted this page. - I am waiting for Jackie to do the journaling.

Here is what you do:

1) Add the punch to your page.

2) Use the "Paper Fill" Option from the Design Center.

3) After you have selected a paper (it doesn't matter which one) double click on the punch on the page and zoom in on the paper to make sure it fills your punch.

4) From the Design Center click on ‘Fill with Photo’!   Your folder of photos comes. Choose your photo.

5) You can then zoom in on a particular area of the photo and/or move the photo within the punch window until you have it as you like it, then click "Okay".

Before putting your photos in the punch, get rid of any red eye – there is a button for that in MDS too.  I thought I could do it after, however, even tho you have replaced the paper with a photo, the program only recognizes it as a punch, not a photo.  I didn’t want to re-do the page, so these pictures have a bit of red eye!

I posted this page last March, which works for putting a photo in a punch also.  Now it has got a lot simpler - all you have to do is click on the ‘Fill with Photo’ button!
