Hello everyone. The weekend is almost here and I am so ready. What a week. I did have something good happen this week and that is I was able to share My Digital Studio with 3 of my friends and share the same excitement I have, or you could say addiction. Believe me, when I say it's addicting, I am not exaggerating. So thanks for Chris, Traci and Lou Ann for giving me an opportunity to share a new way of papercrafting.

So last night a dear friend of mine came home from work and found her dog had passed away in his crate. As a big dog lover, my heart goes out to her and the pain she must be feeling and sense of loss. She does have 2 dogs, so she still has a dog at home to lay and cry with her while she misses her dear Beauregard. She loves Rhodesian Ridgebacks and Beauregard was her 3rd Ridgeback and now she has Toby left. So inbetween commercials of Survivor I created a card on MDS and I wanted to share it with you.

So you can refer back to this post and maybe re-create it when you purchase My Digital Studio for yourself. I created a 5x7 Portrait Greeting Card - Designer - Summer Home - 5x7 Card 2. The polka dots on the background were actually a tiny little border on the side of the designer card that I stretched out to cover the entire background with polka dots. I think this is what Chris was getting at last night and YES Chris - you can create a swiss dot "effect." The computer still won't physically emboss my card, but I love the sweet little white polka dot on the card. The 3 squares are just blank templates you can drop cardstock into. Remember when you do this, you want to open your cardstock as a page layer and then drag it over the square until the square turns blue and then drop it in and it fills the square. The stitching and staples were from another website where I got a free digital embellishment. Start scouring the web, there are lots and lots of free digital embellishments, paper, fonts and so much more out there free for the taking. All digital elements come "zipped" and you will have to "unzip" all of your digital files. Make a post and let me know if you want more information on that and I'll create a post about it.

Anyway, this is getting long, so one last thing is I wanted to say that the dog stamp is from "Man's Best Friend" and I just mirror imaged the middle one to face it in the opposite direction. Enjoy and I'd love to hear what you think. I'm off to the print to finish up my card using product now.

Happy Friday tomorrow. I hope you find time to play this weekend.
