So "Mini" ways to be inspired - MDS blog hop

Hello Designers!
Welcome back - this week we were invited to looked through the Holiday "Mini" Catalog to be inspired or use new products! I have a hard time even calling that a Mini - wow - it's big, beautiful and packed full of goodies I had to have. I choose the snowman card on the bottom of page 9.  click here to view the Mini Catalog in flash player

I had a blast in MDS2 using the Freeform brush to WATERCOLOR (video below)!!!  Isn't she just stinkin cute? I love both the new coloring options and the crop tool for stamps and embellishments...whoo hooo.
Get excited designers because MDS2 is so flippin fantastic....

Hop on over to see the rest of the Mini project ideas!

Getting Punchy with MDS2

Good morning designers!
Ally challenged us to play with punches this week so I went back to a few Punch Art projects that I had created (back in the day) and recreated them with My Digital Studio 2. Here's a quick Birthday Card for a young boy, and if I do say so myself, he'd love this fun card on his special day! Print it at home and layer it on a piece of Daffodil Delight Card Stock -bam - you'r done. MDS makes card making so quick and easy!!!!

We all love that professional print look and the whole month of August ALL cards, photobooks, individual pages, and tags will be on sale for 31% off. That's right: print any photobook, board book, swatchbook, individual pages, greeting card, postcard, trifold card, or tag-all for 31% off. So go create and get ready for the BIG sale!!!

MDS Blog Hop -Color Challenge

Amber is back!!! and gave us a color challenge today. So, I looked at the new downloads and found that the Birds of a Feather content CD has a few of the colors we were asked to use: Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit, Pool Party & (I added some) Going Gray.

I've been asked a few times if I make cards with MDS and the answer is YES, all the time! I love MDS Hybrid cards. I'll create it, and print several at a time add a few little embellishments or pop up a layer of one of the elements and it's done!!! So today, I'm showcasing a few cards :)

MDS Blog Hop - Template

Today's challenge was to use a template and I love using templates so I was thrilled with this one!!!

My template comes in the Playful Polka Dot's Kit  

Isn't this a FUN layout? 

Well here's my take on it....I used the Tickets & Tags Kit because I loved how the colors blended with the lake pictures of the kids!
