January Stamp to the Max Blog Hop

Its a new year and a new begining.  One of my goals this year was to do some scrapbooking for my son.  We only have one....so it couldn't be that bad right?  LOL! 

The best way to get started and going is with My Digital Studio.  You can't beat the prices of the awesome coordinated downloads and the ease of the new program.  I've got MDS2+ and I highly recommend it.  All the new features in this release are awesome.  I am still learning, but with all the training forums and videos to help out it is a snap! 

If you are a beginner, you can start with a premade layout and just drag and drop a picture and add a little bit of text.  If you want to get more creative you can start with a layout, like I have today, and add to it some extras and such.  Or like the second one I did, you can start with a layout and then remove some things.  I have a boy, so flowers don't work well most of the time.  I removed the template flowers and added some text.

 
The layouts you see are from the new content disc called Lemonade Stand, available in the Sale-a-bration catalog that will start in just a few short weeks!  Can you believe that?  It has some fun stuff in it and I really like the honeycomb look to this set.  Best part is that is coordinates with the new honeycomb embossing folder as well.  So, you can do some hybrid scrapping too.  :)

Happy hopping along to see some of the awesome new products coming up.  The Spring Catalog is available to order right now and the Sale-a-bration one will be available to earn you free products from starting January 22nd.  Woo Hoo!
