A while ago my up line put on a MDS  Hybird Card class. I wasn’t able to attend in person so I got the package the next time I had stopped at her house. I never got around to putting the cards together until recently when I had some friends over for some crafting time. Aren’t these cards great? The card fronts were made with MDS but the card stock and the elements were the hybird part of the creating. The one thing that I love about MDS is that even when a stamp retires in the main catalog it doesn’t ever do that in MDS. The same goes for color.  If you’d like to try your hand with MDS go here My Digital Studio I just wanted to share what I had done on my Saturday. Did you do anything creative with your weekend?

I am still learning my way around MDS. The thing that I love about MDS is that you can have them do all the work for you. That is what I did in this case. The congrats card is actually from  a wedding ensemble but I thought the sentiment would work just as well as a graduation card. You most likely have seen the comfort card as I had to make one last month or so. I changed it up a little by adding some bling. Hope you find time in your day for creating and thank you for stopping by! Reminder: Spring catalog ends this Friday the 31st and our NEW year catalog goes live. If you need a catalog please let me know. Also any retiring items you would like goes away on June 3rd!  If you’d like to check my online store please go here. Shop here!

I had a friend pass away recently from prostrate cancer. I wanted to make a quick card to send to his family in this loss. MDS came to the rescue! I bought the download Sending Comfort Card 127162 $1.95 because I didn’t trust myself to come up with a design on my own. I printed it at home and mailed it off. Hopefully it got to the family on time. I just wanted to share that MDS is easy to use even if you are technically challenged! MDS is now $19.95. What do you have to lose? Reminder: T0night is the LAST day to take advantage of free shipping!
