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!

Stamp to the Max Blog Hop

Welcome to my little skip, hop, and jump of our team blog hop.  You have probably seen all the great projects before me...if you haven't, you should go check them out because they are great!

Have you ever told yourself, "I can't scrapbook.  I don't have time or the creativity to do it."  I have just the answer for you.  My Digital Studio makes scrapbooking so easy.  The page I have here for you today literally took minutes.  The hardest part was finding the pictures to put in.  MDS2+ gives you so many options that are included, but with the 50% Digital Kits special going on right now...it is too easy!  I used the Be of Good Cheer Digital Kit (item #130970) which is only $3.98 right now.  It comes with lots of paper, embellishments, stamps, and this great template page. 

You can start with a template (a predone scrapbook page, just add pictures) like I did or you can create your own.  I added a little bit to the template page because I thought it was slightly plain for my liking. 

We have also lowered our professional print pricing...permanently! So printing is even cheaper and easier now.  So, think about making a book for a family member.  They will think you spent hours, but all you have to do is drag and drop the pictures in place.  :)  It will be our little secret.  Shhhh!

Now, hop along to the next team member and enjoy the show!  Don't forget to order any MDS Digital Kits at 50% off right now in my online store.  They are only discounted for the week...so hurry.  And don't forget to download your FREE MDS downloads to celebrate Digital Scrapbooking day (a week long event for us). Don't have MDS2 yet?  Try the FREE 30 day trial while you are at it.
