MAKE A WISH

If you haven't yet discovered the magic that is MDS (My Digital Studio), maybe it's time you did!

Stampin' Up!'s MDS sells for a mere $19.95, and gives you an endless multitude of possibilities for your paper creating pleasure.

Recently I created a birthday card for a very special friend:

While I'm working on a project, I just keep on trying a variety of things: digital brush stamps, colors, DSP, punches, embellishments, etc. If something seems to work, I keep it. If it doesn't, I just undo it. Very neat and easy. Gradually you build up your projects, and at the end, you're not sure what you exactly ended up using in the project.

That is easily fixed. Simply go to "Check Project" and select "Supply List". There, in excruciating detail, is a list of each and every "supply" you used in your digital masterpiece. For example, I wanted to give you a few details about my Make a Wish card, and discovered that I had chosen the Big Bold Birthday stamp brush set, using Summer Starfruit, Primrose Petals, and Midnight Muse as my color palette. I also incorporated a square punch and the ever popular word window punch. My background is from the Patio Party Designer Series Paper. Cool, huh?

Every Tuesday, Stampin' Up! releases a handful of new digital downloads. This week, there were EIGHT new offerings! http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryID=1586. There is still lots of time for barbecues, school is starting soon, and it's time to begin getting your thoughts together for the upcoming holidays.

Now, even though my "baby" is 29 years old, and I obviously don't have youngsters in school anymore to get too excited about ordering and using this Do Your Best download in the traditional sense: http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=134922, I still took a closer look.

When I discovered that, for only $2.95, I would also get a 25-piece SVG stamp brush set, 27 embellishments and 3 punches, whoa! I was EXCITED! I can't wait to get started with all those new stamps, embellishment and punches! There are so many possibilities for these components besides leaving cute little messages in your child's lunchbox.

And, the coolest thing is that, you can order it (and NO SHIPPING!), download it, and be playing in a matter of seconds!

Do your creativity a favor and jump on the MDS bandwagon! You'll never look back.

Smiles.
