This week’s MDS downloads are as cool as ever, particularly since one of them is FREE! Check ‘em out…
Take a look at all the latest My Digital Studio downloads…
On the subject of digital downloads, here’s a bit of a shopping tip for you if you tend towards a try before you buy mindset…
When you are browsing my online store for new downloads, it’s possible to see in more detail than the sneak peek images exactly what is contained in each kit, stamp set etc.
Below is an example of what you see when you are looking at a particular download. It includes information on what is contained in the kit, plus the co-ordinating colours to the right of the image. You can zoom in on the image itself just by clicking on it, but it doesn’t show you exactly what elements the kit contains.
This information is available by clicking on the “MORE IMAGES” link as seen in the example below…

The following screen then opens up, which gives you the option of looking through the entire contents of the kit by clicking on each element on the right hand side to bring up a large preview on the left hand side and using the PREV and NEXT links to navigate through.

I thought this was a pretty cool feature, so I hope it’s a useful one for you!

I have another video for you today too, this one shows you how I created the “Oh My Giddy Aunt” framed image for my mum in my previous blog post. Hopefully it also shows you how quickly and simply you will be able to create your own personalised gifts and artwork
I absolutely love all of the different word art options that are around in the home decor scene these days, but what I love even more is that I can take my favourite quote, put it in my favourite font, match it to the colours of the room I’m decorating or that of the person I’m giving it to and I have a personalised piece of art that is not mass produced and gracing the living room wall of every other person in the country.
Are you inspired to make yourself some word art too…?

It’s terribly remiss of me not to have dedicated a post to this little special sooner, but with so much going on at Stampin’ Up! in recent times, I’m afraid I’ve rather neglected to tell you about the Sent with Love special offer!
So I’m doing it with gusto today with a set of five co-ordinated note cards and envelopes featuring the Stamps and Designer Series Paper in this sweet promotion.




Until June 15th, you can score this exclusively available bundle of products, which includes the Stamp Set, Designer Series Paper and Calypso Coral Baker’s Twine at a 20% discount. Alternatively you can purchase the products individually, which is still limited to the June 15th deadline, but without the attached discount.
There’s even a Sent with Love MDS kit available for download! Sweet!
Check out all of the products in this special by visiting the dedicated page in my online store…
As alluded to at the end of yesterday’s post, I have created a video to show a couple of techniques in MDS that I used in the scrapbook layout that featured in that post.
It’s my first MDS tutorial video, but I have more in the works and am excitedly looking forward to sharing them with you in the not too distant future…
Would love to know if the video was helpful to you!
