An Unbiased Review of My Digital Studio

 As you know, Stampin Up now has a wonderful digital product available called My Digital Studio.  I love this product and am amazed at all it can do.  I came across a review of it on Kate Pullen's blog at about.com that I want to share with you.  (She is not a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.)  She reviews many of the features that MDS offers, including:

• It's easy to install.
• It's easy to use.
• It uses Stampin' Up!'s exclusive colors, artwork and embellishments.
• You can use other company's brushes, papers & kits (digital images) with the program.
• It's an excellent design tool. Design first, then cut your cardstock and paper! What a concept!
• You can Hybridize your pages! The papers, punches, ribbons, embellishments, etc. match our Stampin Up products. What that means is that you can print your cards and pages, then pop them with your "real live" punches, ribbons & embellishments. AWESOME!
• MDS comes with a 128 pg. user guide PLUS, I'm here to assist you as well!
