Happy Sunday to you! Can you believe that we are on the LAST day of July....seriously, where did the time go? I am SO sad summer is about half over! BUT we have lots of fun things planned so I'm sure August will be a ton of fun!
I've been planning a ton of fun things coming up...some of which you already know about, and some things are coming! Today's post will focus on none other than MY DIGITAL STUDIO! I have a few pieces of news for My Digital Studio
Today is the last day that I will have the My Digital Studio swatchbook #1 for sale! They were a huge hit and I have so many of YOU to thank! I appreciate the kind words and the support you offered with these books. I hope you have as much fun with it as I did! Here is a quick synopsis of the details - 26 page swatchbook (13 front and back), 25 double page sketches, 25 different colour combinations and 25 MDS tips/tricks! What fun!!!! And to top it off, you get a sample of what a swatchbook is, so as a demonstrator it's a great business tool and as a customer you get a sample of the book so you can see for yourself how amazing they are! If you are interested in one of these books, the cost is $25 which includes your shipping fee. At midnight this book will no longer be available. CLICK HERE if you'd like even more details:)
SO, if you are an MDS lover (or want to be one:) and you are Canadian then this is the club for you! How does it work? Commit to spending $20 a month on MDS downloads (or print products or other SU product) for six months from my SU online store. For six months you will get a MINIMUM of one video and one page/project per week. The page/project will be a detailed explanation of the page that will be exclusive to the club. Of course there will be perks and challenges throughout:) If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! This club starts TOMORROW, but the first order isn't due until the 10th of August, so you have time to think this through and join the fun!!! I hope you do! If you're interested please email me at adamsum@yahoo.com
Last but not least....do you like today's page? I had fun creating this one. A friend of mine emailed me a sketch (I think she drew it from a page online..not 100% sure as she didn't remember for sure either) and this is what I came up with (thanks Joni). I used the hostess disk, Noteworthy (isn't it fun!) for all the DSP and the embellishments. The title was done with the punched alphabet. The only "trick" to the page is the fact that I created the "ring" of DSP. I shot a quick video on how to do this at the bottom of this post if you're interested!
Have a great day and thanks for making me a part of it! Take care,
Heather

Because I know just enough to be dangerous, I figured it out!! If you don't have the cardstock option in your designer series paper, go into your MDS program files.Click on components and then backgrounds. You'll find a cardstock file. Copy the file and add it to your designer series paper folder. Viola!
Heather your projects are amazing and your tutorials are top notch! Thanks so much for sharing them. I get more excited about using my MDS because of your great examples!

I'm having the same problem! It looks like she has a cardstock option under her paper fill. I don't. I just have designer papers. I wonder if this is an add on for purchase.

I really love this page and I'm trying to do it. Everything is fine until I try to Edit/paste in place the second time to fill in with kraft paper to cover so it looks like a background strip showing through the circle. When I double click I don't get the screen so I can move the paper...I just get the punch deminisions. What am I doing wrong.
I love MDS and have opted to use it in lue of Photoshop Elements.

Your pages are ALWAYS awesome; and seeing HOW you do it is even more incredible. Not sure how you come up with these techniques, but your inspiration is amazing.
