Project Life MDS Hybrid

So, I am trying an experiment, I made a page on the Project Life App, using the Project 52 Edition kit, which I imported into My Digital Studio. I wanted to be able toa dd text to the card saying the days date for example, and while I was at it, add a tiny stamps. I am going to have this page printed through the App and through the MDS printer and see which one will give me a better quality print. My concern is that when I went to add my exported picture the resolution of the image no longer looked as crisp. It looked perfect at 6x6" but I wanted the full 12x12" page. So we will see. If anyone else has tried this let me know. I love the fun of the App, but my plan had always been to pull the pages into a MDS book when I was done. Now I am having second thoughts. Sigh.

So in this image, I actually also redid my text.  I covered the old text with a punch, which I filled in with the color picker of the white of the PL52 Card.  I added the tiny heart at the bottom of the card as well, and of course the date on the top left card.

This is image pulled straight in from the app itself. It imports at 1.6MB which is low for an MDS page.  My pages seem to be more like 5-10MB per page.

Hello You Thinlit card

So I needed to make a baby card to send to a friend, and could not wait to test out my new thin lits!  Oh so fun!

They are a tiny bit tricky to remove, so what you need to do is find a noninsanely sharp tool,  my tool was from my paper piercing mat to help Pop free a few of the spaces.  My first attempt was using a pin,  which left holes in my words.  Oops.  Learn from my mistakes!!

I'm using some retired card stock and dsp here as well as an old build a bear set, but I love it so its all good!  Gotta love stash cards!

MDS holiday card

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Project Life Happy December App

I'm working on some digital app/desktop hybrid pages using the app to quickly scrapbook an event, then I'll put it in MDS and add some stamps & embellishments.

Here is my starting place.  I used the seasonal snapshot and the happy December mobile downloads.  Love them both!!! 

Stay tuned for the modified version!

Blendabilities

I have needed a batch of thank you cards to send to some friends who bailed me out this summer, and had a blast making these simple cards.    For the first set, I used Peaceful Petals Stamp Set, and my Starburst Big Shot Dies.

The really fun part of these card was working with my new alcohol based markers.  I just bought a set of several of the Blendabilities markers, and love them!  They are simple to work with, and color wonderfully.  This card used the In Color markers for the Calypso Coral flower, and the Pistachio Pudding leaves.  The center of the Flower used the Daffodil Blendabilities  I have learned that these need to be used with the Momento Ink instead of Stazon, otherwise you have a big mess.


My second card uses the Happy Watercolor Stamp set.  I used the Coastal Cabana set, and the Old Olive Blendabilities set for the flower stamp image.    I didn't take a picture of the inside, but I stamped the thank you saying on the inside.
