Tinkering with MDS...

Earlier this week Stampin' Up! released MDS (My Digital Studio) in Australia, and because I am going to convention in Brisbane (hooray)...I got a free copy (double hooray)!! This afternoon I thought I'd have me a bit of a tinker with it, you know...push some random buttons and see what happened. Well, I pushed buttons for a good bit longer than I intended to, but I did have a lot of fun.

I find the program is quite intuitive, and those things that I haven't been able to fathom for myself, I got help with from my lovely (and oh-so-patient) upline Di. Thanks Di. I can see we are gonna have some fun with this :-).

Anyhoo...this is what popped out the other end of my button pushing session...

I was not going to write up a supply list, but then I remembered having seen a button labelled 'supplies' somewhere along my wanderings. I just went and checked and managed to find it again...so here it is, a list of supplies (hooray)...

Party Fun

I mean't to explain the lack of papercrafting that's been going on in this neck of the woods. Well...the lack of blogged papercrafting, at any rate. I've had a lot on recently, but there has been some crafting going on in the background, just no time to blog it!

April/May is party central around here, and I've been dabbling with pretty clip art, digital scrapbook papers and Photoshop. I made some party place-name cards and party bag toppers with some beautiful goodies from Stockberry Studio on Etsy, and using a groovy new curves template by Rita of The Coffeeshop Blog (thanks so much Rita - you rock!!!)...

 I also managed to squeeze in a little birthday cake. Not one of my finer creations, but fun to make and well-received by the requester/birthday girl nonetheless...

Waaaaaay past my bedtime now, and tomorrow is another big day.

Blogged to: Hungry Town - Big Pig, Eagle Rock - Daddy Cool and True Faith 94 - New Order.

Dusting off the Epson...

We recently dug out our old Epson Photo printer, dusted it off, inked it up and took it for a spin. So, being all print-enabled I have been having some fun playing with Photoshop and printing off some cards and little doo-dahs!

The groovy Delia Red and Teal digi-paper is by moo & puppy on Etsy...you can check it out here.

And while I was having fun playing with iPhoto and Photoshop (did I mention that my awesome hubby recently upgraded the RAM on this 'puter which means it no longer has a terminal seizure whenever I have Safari, Photoshop and iPhoto open at the same time :-)...I also played with some more of our holiday snaps...
