Welcome to Day 7 of the 2013 Artisan Award Winner Blog Hop!!  I am so incredibly excited to FINALLY be able to share, in detail, the projects I created for my submission to the contest.  If you came over from Jeanna Bohanon’s blog, Stamp Time Somewhere, I know you have already been impressed by her amazing work.  If not, you can just start the hop here and follow around until you get back to me.

So My Digital Studio is pretty much awesome!  I have never been much of a scrapbooker.  Something about the pages have intimidated me.  The feeling they need to be perfect maybe??  In any case, MDS has solved that for me.  I don’t like it, hit undo (one of my favorite buttons).  I need a new color, change it.  The DSP I have isn’t working for me (hard to believe since there is so much!!), make my own!  I did a little of that on this.  The Chevron DSP’s in Tangerine Tango and Midnight Muse were actually papers that were recolored, resized then saved as my own DSP to put in here.  Cooh, huh?  I had so much fun playing with this page that it was hard to stop!  I had two of them printed (another awesome feature of MDS) so even after I sent this one off, I still have one for me!  The only thing not MDS on this are buttons.  I think this page captures my oldest son perfectly and he really loves it!  On a personal note, while I was at Convention he asked if all the “stamping people” loved the pictures of him and his brother and asked if they are famous now.  Of course I said yes!!

Ok, time to move on with the hop because you are going to love today’s project from Mercedes Weber of Creations by Mercedes.

Thanks for stopping in today.  See you tomorrow!
