Who needs digital papercrafting programs?
YOU DO!!!
Making the new blog background and banner took me about 10 minutes. (Figuring out how to load it onto Blogger took 3 days...but now that I've got all the kinks worked out I can show you how to do it in a snap...I think!!) If you can drag and drop, you can use MDS. It comes preloaded with about 30 our our stamp sets, all of the colors (even the retired In Colors!!), and a bunch of embellishments. Plus there will be additional downloads available.
See that Wish List icon to the right? I made that using MDS too. The best thing about MDS is that you can use it to design scrapbook layouts or cards before you ever put stamp to paper. How many times have you started making a project, hated it and pitched the whole thing in the trash? If you designed it in MDS first that wouldn't happen.
You can go HERE to my Stampin Up! business website to view a short video on MDS. If you think this might interest you let me know and we can set up a short demo session. I'm going to try to have this set up at our next few classes if anyone wants to take a look.
Now I'm a virtual crack dealer too!! :)~
