Happy Halloween!

I want to show you what I made with one of the free gifts we can ALL get from Stampin' Up! this week during the  Digital Scrapbooking promotion until November 5th. There are three completely FREE downloads you can get to use with My Digital Studio or any other digital crafting program. As well, the Digital Kits are 50% off.

So this is what the download began as:
This is the A Split Second download (FREE, free Free...did I say that?). Now obviously it would be cute if you poked three adorable little photos on each page and slapped in a date and said 'that's it, I'm done. Aren't I awesome?'. Because you know, it's OK if you say that. We should all say that more often. I'm awesome, you're awesome, we're all awesome.  OK, on with it...

Here's what I made:

So, I just used the first page in the template. The first thing I did was delete the 'SMILE'. Just select it with your mouse and hit delete. Then I chose the photos I wanted to use, and clicked them into the already there photo boxes. Then I filled the third photo box with Designer Series Pape (Pumpkin Pie Large Polka Dot). I added five stamp images from the Spooky Bingo Bits digital set and resized them as needed and changed the opacity. To resize them all you have to do is select the image, then drag the arrows. Then I selected the frame thing around the middle rectangle and changed the colour to Pumpkin Pie. Then I did the same thing for those little zig zaggy lines along the left hand side (that stuff was all pink before). The 'eek!' was a stamp image from the Spooky Bingo Bits set, so I changed the colour of that to Pumpkin Pie as well.  I typed some text, added a date, and that's it. I love the designer templates and digital kits. Most of the work is done for me. I can either leave the page as it was, or change a colour or two and make it something completely different, like this one.  This page took me 5 minutes to make. This blog post took me 20 minutes. Now do you see why my blog isn't the fanciest blog on the block? I'd much rather be crafting!!!

You can still download a FREE TRIAL of My Digital Studio. It's easy and completely free to try for 30 days. It's not like Netflix or other places that make you enter a credit card and then they just start charging you. If you want to  buy it at the end of 30 days, you do. If you don't, then you don't. Easy. Now's a good time to do it though, I'm just sayin'. What if you like it, and then are kicking yourself next week that you didn't stock up on 50% off Digital Downloads??!!

To get your free stuff, visit my website , click on Shop Now, and along the left hand side there will be a spot that says FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOADS. To get the free trial of MDS, just go down to the MY DIGITAL STUDIO link along that same side.

Happy Halloween!
