I‘m a bit ridiculously excited to share an MDS project with you today – a 12×12 layout that I completed using Instagram photos that I took during the recent school holidays in conjunction with a sketch challenge from a Facebook MDS Challenge group that I belong to…
I had so much fun with it and I absolutely LOVE the sketch itself – I can see myself using it for a traditional scrapbooking layout too. If I can ever drag myself away from this digital caper that is… 
If you headed to my What’s on @ SU! page that I mentioned at the tail end of my previous post (what do you MEAN you didn’t read all the way to the bottom?!), you’ll have seen that there are a number of My Digital Studio kits, ensembles and templates on sale at 25% off until June 15th.
Check out all the discounted digital goodness….
Speaking of digital downloads, have you seen the latest ones released this week…?
134686 Legit Kit – $16.50
134599 Show & Tell 1 Stamp Brush Set – $8.95
134600 Show & Tell 2 Stamp Brush Set – $8.95
134594 Wonderland Party Ensemble – $16.50
I can see a need for the Wonderland Party Ensemble in my very near future. Loving those bright and spunky colours and that wonky cake is an absolute delight!
To take part in all this digital wonderment, you will need the MDS software, which you can trial FREE for 30 days, or purchase outright for the very reasonable price of $24.95. Either way, they come with a pre-loaded selection of elements to use (the full version has a larger selection that the trial version) and with a vast variety of downloads available to you from my online store at any time of the day or night 
Be sure to pop back tomorrow for a little video treat along MDS lines…

An exciting new line of products making their debut in the upcoming Annual Catalogue is the delightful This and That™ range – a selection of sweet and perfectly co-ordinated products that allow you to capture life as it happens.
Considering that our catalogue is not due for release until July, you might be wondering why I would be telling you about it (and showing you the cute video!) in May, but the exciting news is that you can order these products right now, and if you want them all, you can get them in a bundle for 15% off!
I am not so patiently awaiting the arrival of my very own bundle and can pretty much predict that my big girl will be hankering after one to record all the details of our upcoming trip to Brisbane (she might indeed be lucky since the trip also coincides with her 10th birthday – double figures – yikes!)
Click on the above image to download the This and That flyer and see all of the associated products in detail. (Is anybody else ridiculously excited about the little rotary stamp thingamy…?! *swoon*)
Some things to note about this new product range…
- Available right through until July when they will appear in the Annual Catalogue but the product bundle is only available until May 31st, after which time all products will only be available individually
- More This and That products will be added to the range as time goes on. (YAY!)
Visit my online store or contact me to order your bundle(s) or any of the individual products from the range.
In case you’re feeling overwhelmed by everything going on at Stampin’ Up! in recent times (I certainly am, so I can’t promise that what I’m about to tell you isn’t for my own personal well-being with a happy side benefit for you….!), I have created a page that you can find by clicking on the What’s on @ SU! tab in the navigation bar at the top of my blog.
It lists all of the current promotions and goings on in the one place so that you don’t have to scroll through recent posts to try and find that thing that you saw here one time that was interesting and that you wanted to come back to later but now you can’t find for the life of you…
You’re welcome

The addition of MDS to the Stampin’ Up! arsenal has opened up such a fabulous creative extension, and I find myself thinking about the possibilities of it even when I’m nowhere near the computer…
Obsessed?! Perhaps….
Excited?! Most definitely!
I begged was delighted to have the opportunity to make some announcement cards for the newest member of one of my very favourite families this week, following the arrival of their sweet baby girl last Monday.
My brief was “PINK!” when I asked the question as to what sorts of things the announcements should feature, so I focused on Blushing Bride (yay for colours that don’t EVER retire in MDS!!!) with accents of Pool Party and Real Red.
The little “introducing” banner is an embellishment that I managed to create on my very own and saved as a “group” so that I could import it into future projects.
Such flexibility, such intuitiveness! *sigh*
Here are some of the elements that I used to complete the announcements:
Once you get into all the delights that MDS has to offer, you’ll find yourself actually looking forward to Mondays, which is when new downloads are released weekly.
Here are the offerings for this week…
134536 Wonderful Mother Stamp Brush Set – $3.50
134376 On Holiday Photobook Template – $21.50
134538 Beautiful Birthday Stamp Brush – $2.50
Click –>HERE<– to see more of the most recent weekly download releases…
Speaking of offerings, in celebration of the My Digital Studio Facebook page reaching 20,000 likes , they are giving away the Playful Polka Dots Digital Kit FREE until Tuesday April 23rd! The kit includes four Designer Series paper patterns, 55 embellishments, and a one-page 11″ x 8-1/2″ designer template and usually retails at $10.95.
Click on the kit image below to score yours from my online store…
Of course, to partake in all of these digital designing shenanigans, you’re going to need the MDS program itself, which you can try for free with the 30 Day Trial, or jump in with both feet and order the full program for just $24.95
Whether you’re a digital designing superstar, or a computer wary papercrafter, the software is so intuitive that it caters to all abilities and levels of computer literacy, plus there is a dedicated website with all manner of tutorial videos and helpful hints to help you along the way.
Then there’s me of course! I’m finding my way around the program with much delight and excitement and am happy to pass on my findings and share the joy with you
