My Digital Studio Challenge-SO Cool!
Time for another My Digital Studio challenge and this week is SO exciting. We are doing "anything but a layout" this week.
This is a CHALLENGE for me! I use My Digital Studio 95% for Digital Scrapbooking. I've played around a *little* with a few hybrid pieces but it's never been a big on my radar.
Things have changed!
I thought I had a huge love affair with MDS already. NOW I'm completely smitten when I add MDS & an E-Cutter!
Bare with me. I know I've been showing a few things over the last few days with the e-cutter but the truth is I'm in *LOVE*!
Check this out… I thought it couldn't get any better….
I was DEAD wrong. It just keeps getting SWEETER!
I took the Chevron Punch and exported the SVG. I then imported it into my e-cutter. I placed the entire 4 1/4 x 11 Whisper White Cardstock onto my e-cutter and then the cutting magic began and the chevrons were cut on the base of my card.
Below is the INSIDE of my card. I loved how the International Bazaar Designer Paper shows through the Chevrons.
This picture gives you a closer look at the Chevron Cut. Just *PERFECT*!!!
Here is the Skinny-
I know many have questions regarding E-Cutters! I personally did a lot of research over the holidays. Do your research and see what will suit YOU best.
Make sure that the E-Cutter you are eye balling can IMPORT ANY SVG files. That is *the* most important thing to find out.
Now… It's time for YOU to take on the challenge.
Make ANYTHING but a layout. Pop on over the Heather's website to see what she has created. She is a genius in the hybrid department with My Digital Studio.
Make sure to watch her video today as well. She is going over the latest MDS Software Update.

Subscribe to the comments for this postUsing the Crop Tool with My Digital Studio
It's time to CROP, CROP, CROP! That's right, inside this great software I call My Digital Studio is a cropping tool that is so cool and can crop so many things.
Did you know that you can-
*Crop a Photo
*Crop an Embellishment -WAY COOL
*Crop a Stamp Brush! -Way Cool-er.
Think about it. Have you ever come across a sentiment in Stampin' Up! and thought, "Dang, I love this saying but I wish I could crop out one word?"
With My Digital Studio you can.
First find the Crop Tool.
Depending on what you are working with- Stamps, Embellishments or Photos you will find the crop tool under each one of these in your design center on the right.
See picture below.
I loved this Flag from the Stamp Brush Make a Cake. I only needed one of those tiny flags.
Here is where the crop tool becomes AWESOME.
Here is the Flag AFTER I cropped just a small piece:
March was completely spelled out in the stamp brush. I decided to crop and shorten it a bit.
Once the Flag was cropped I enlarged it enough to make it stand out a bit more and raised the drop shadow some.
I also cropped the stitching on my layout because with some of them do not like to be manipulated much. If I crop it I get the affect I was looking for.
Cropping is just one of MANY great tools that you can use in My Digital Studio.
It makes creating a breeze and opens so many more options for designers.
Click HERE and see a video Heather has put together on using the Crop Tool.
Now, it's time for you to Crop 'til You Drop using your software.
Head over to our Facebook Challenge Group and see what members are cropping.
This group is fantastic with beautiful layouts are shared all the time. Don't miss out.

You’ve Been Waiting…
Who knew it would take me months of dragging my feet to finally get a project complete that I've always been so passionate about?
Have you ever had this happen to you? Seriously?
I wanted this project done months ago. Sometimes we let things get in our way. Not necessarily life, but negative self talk.
This project had me on a roller coaster. I think the title says it all- It's All About Me! It's NOT always easy to talk about ourselves and let's face it… Kimberly LOVES to talk! I guess you could say it goes deeper than that!
The truth is I want leave my legacy behind for my kids and family.
I have GREAT news this Friday morning!
The project is COMPLETE. The All About Me Online Class is ready and I've never been more excited about something.

Rainbow Wash & Watercoloring
When I see a rainbow I think it's so magical. When we lived in Colorado I swear there were two magical things I would see more of, rainbows and shooting stars. Both always made me stop in my tracks and both just make you say WOW!
Today I'm sharing a simple little card I'm calling the Rainbow Wash. I love how Stampin' Up! products can make me feel like an artist, stop me in my tracks and make me go WOW! Believe me, when I started stamping 9.5 years ago I was FAR from doing any of those things. Over the years with much practice and great products it can stop me in my tracks and make me go WOW!
With just a few supplies you can recreate this card! Watch the video to see how!
