My Digital Studio Friend card and a NEW CATALOG!

Posted on June 3, 2014 by Genevieve Valdes

I created this card on My Digital Studio for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge.  Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding and Blushing Bride.   My digital card was also inspired by a card on page 111 of the new Stampin’ Up! catalog.  YES!  It’s a brand new catalog with so many wonderful products.  You can see the catalog by clicking on the image of the catty on the right side of my blog.

Happiness is: Scrapbooking with Stampin’ Up! My Digital Studio

Posted on April 8, 2014 by Genevieve Valdes

Here it is again!  Another fun color challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments.  Lately I have been making an effort to use My Digital Studio to scrapbook pages with my fur babies.  I took the pictures I used in this page in March when our irises bloomed.  I thought it would be cute to take photos of my pets with the irises but some how they don’t always do what I want.  I did manage to photograph Chula my Chihuahua in front of them but she really wasn’t interested.  The only way I could get a cute pic of my kitty was to put him in this basket since he loves boxes and small places.  He stayed in the basket just long enough for me to snap a picture.

It’s Sale-a-bration!

Posted on February 25, 2014 by Genevieve Valdes

This week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is a sketch challenge.  Since my craft room is still in disarray I used My Digital Studio to create this 8″ x 8″ scrapbook page.  I found these photos I took of my Bengal kitties in a Sale-a-bration box and I knew I wanted to create a scrapbook page.  Sadly the kitty with the topaz eyes is no longer with us but I still have photos and memories to remember him.

Lately I’ve been creating on My Digital Studio and for this week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments I have created this Christmas Card.

Creating photo boxes and sizing them to your liking then filling with your choice of paper is how I created the glimmer strips and the strip of Season of Style DSP at the top of the card.  If you have MDS and haven’t used it in awhile, I invite you to create a card or scrap page using it.  If you don’t have MDS and would like to try before you buy click here for a FREE trial.

Happy Halloween My Digital Studio Card

Posted on October 8, 2013 by Genevieve Valdes

For this week’s challenge I decided to play with My Digital Studio to create a Halloween card.  The colors were inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge of Tangerine Tango, Elegant Eggplant, Garden Green and Basic Black.  Don’t these colors just scream HALLOWEEN!  It was so much fun using the coloring tool to add different colors to the digital stamp images.  If you haven’t tried digital crafting, download the free trial version of MDS here.  You can create cards, scrap book pages and books, journals and whatever your paper crafting mind can conjure.
