My Son's Easter Card

 

This is the Easter card I created and sent to my son.  He loves getting cards and is one of the most popular kids in his nursing home where he resides.  His bulletin board is filled with cards from friends and family members for every occasion.  I had fun making this card using the Stampin' Up!  My Digital Studio (MDS) software.

Exciting News Regarding My Digital Studio

If you didn't already know, I am so in love with Stampin' Up's My Digital Studio software program!  It is such a fun way to create beautiful projects with your computer.   I love making my scrapbooks this way because I don't have my photos, paper and embellishments all over my table taking up room and waiting for me to get to them.  Everything I need is on my laptop computer AND the best part is I can take it with me anywhere I go.  And it is so much fun making hybrid cards this way.  Of course you can also make recipe books, calendars, gift tags, and on and on!

 

I've got some exciting news to share with you.  Stampin' Up! has been working on some big changes to the My Digital Studio product line:

1. They have changed the name of the software from MDS 2 (and MDS 2+) to MDS. 
2. They have lowered the price. What has been known as MDS 2+ is now $19.95.

Coming soon: The upgrade will be free! If you have been holding onto the original My Digital Studio software, you will be able to upgrade to the new software for free. We will let you know when it is available. (Stampin' Up! has discontinued the item number for the MDS 2 Upgrade -- item 130650.)
