Stamp With Belinda

More Digital Scrapbooking... er... Card Making

I have found that I absolutely LOVE the new My Digital Studio program! I am about two-thirds of the way through a Christmas album... and I love manipulating the images so that they look more and more like real paper and photos and embellishments! Here's a cute little card I threw together the other day.

Little Bird-day Wishes

Of course, you can recreate this project with stamps and paper... My Digital Studio is great for pre-planning your projects so you know exactly which tools to haul out!

It's HEEERE!

And yes, I pretty much squealed like that (and ran for the door, and ripped open the box, and tore open the plastic on case) when my My Digital Studio software arrived! And then I installed it, and tried valiantly to run it, and it wouldn't run. :(

Did some looking into what might make it not run, and found that the fifteen zillion files on my desktop might have a little something to do with it... as well as the fact that I hadn't de-fragmented my computer (no, not even once *blushes*) in the last four years... So I set to work on cleaning up my hard drive. I uninstalled several programs that I haven't used in 2-4 years, too. All of that did help-- a lot! :D And finally, finally, I sat down to play!

I am still having some issues (that I attribute to my dinosaur of a computer), but overall My Digital Studio is easy to work with and has a TON of stuff in it! Sixty stamp sets, lots of Designer Series Paper, punches, ribbons, brads, and and and... most of which can be used with *any* program! Well worth getting the CDs, even if you have a digital scrapbooking program you already use.

So, what have I done with it? Wellll.... I'm glad you asked! I made this card:
