My Digital Studio - a whole craft room on your laptop, just $24.95!

It's here at last!!  I have had My Digital Studio software for a few years now, since my hubby saw it while in the US.  I've used it for blog headers (like this one above!), party invites, thank you cards, custom powerpoint presentations, and lots more, and I've barely scratched the surface.

I have to say, it is MUCH easier to use than any of the other major graphics programs, like Corel and Photoshop - I can't get my head around those at all! It's very intuitive, versatile, and works alongside all the products you already own.  There is also lots of videos and tutorials available if you need them, but sitting down for a bit of a play will have you creating pages and cards to be proud of in no time.

Best of all, the full version software download is just $24.95.  Not a typo!

Not convinced?  You can try it for FREE for 30 days!  Click the button below, and you'll be taken to my Demonstrator Business Website, where you can pop it in your cart.  Have a browse around in the Digital Downloads section while you are there, there are quite a few freebies to add to the content that comes with the free trial.

Here's a button link to a flyer for you with some more info:

Class:  Introduction to Digital Creating with My Digital Studio

Because I am already familiar with this amazing software, I'm planning a class to introduce people to digital creating, which will be suitable for anyone with basic computer skills (operating Windows, and perhaps a word processing program or similar).  The class will include written notes, and several guided sample projects for you to practice your new skills on, including at least one digital-only project and at least one hybrid project (all materials for this supplied).  I'd like to get an idea of level of interest before I schedule some dates, but it will probably be a weekend afternoon 2-5pm

Cost:  A total of $40 - being $15 for class tuition, plus $24.95 for purchase of the full version software from my online store HERE  - this will need to be downloaded/installed on your laptop/netbook before the class.  Download might take several hours, and it is recommended that you temporarily alter your computer settings to prevent it going into 'sleep mode'

Where:  Cherrybrook, North Western Sydney

What to Bring: A laptop or similar with power cord, purchased MDS software downloaded, a notebook.

Please email me for more information, or to express your interest.

Online ordering is HERE NOW!

*BREAKING NEWS* 

 ONLINE ORDERING IS AVAILABLE NOW!

You can now place an order with me 24/7 via my Demonstrator Business Website (DBWS) - which looks like this (at least until I update the graphics again!):
Just click on the image below to go to my site, and there is also a sidebar image to click on on the main front page of my blog.

Once you are on my DBWS, you will see a button at the top right, that says 'Shop Now', and when you click on that, you will see a page like this:

For your first shopping visit, you'll need to click "create account" at the top left side of the page - it's a simple procedure, and only takes a minute or two, and then you'll be ready to shop!  For future visits, simply log in, and if you forget your password, there is a secret hint question to help you regain access to your account.

Online ordering works very much like ordering from me direct, however I am unable to offer 5% shipping and handling for local pickup orders, as the system will apply the minimum postage charge of $5.95 for orders up to about $119, thereafter 5%.

You can search, browse, and sort by price, name etc.   If you have the item code handy, just type it into the search box, and the product will appear.  Then click on the product thumbnail image, and click the 'add to my cart' button.   Add each item to your cart, and then select "continue shopping" from the top right of the cart page, under "my account" to add further items.
Click CHECKOUT, and enter you chosen payment details, just like other online shopping sites you are accustomed to.

Online orders can include My Digital Studio software downloads, and items from the Clearance Rack, as well as items from the current catalogues.  There will also be links and information for current promotions.

For Hostesses and their invited guests:

Each Party held will have a special 8 digit code, that can be entered by guests who place an order online - either adding to their order placed at the Party, or guests who were unable to attend the scheduled date.  While the Party order is open, these online orders will count towards your hostess benefits!  So, go ahead and invite your stamping-mad friend interstate, they can join in the fun!

So exciting - it's a new world!  If you have any queries, or want to have a bit of a test run, you can complete an order up to the last couple of steps, then cancel it if you wish before submitting it.  See my next post about the incredible My Digital Studio software for tips on ordering free downloads online!

It's been a busy, busy month!

Things are slowly returning to a normal pace of life around here, after a hectic round of work and play, ending with a cracking easter break.

First up - I'd been hanging out for my annual pilgrimage to North Shields, on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, to attend the BEST. RETREAT. ON. EARTH.  Best people, best atmosphere, best planning, best decoration, best prize table, best food.  Totally the best fun!

Here's a selection of images from our road trip, taken this time with my StampInkPaper team mate, Ryn, who scored a last-minute spot from the waiting list.

 Broken Hill - Miner's Memorial on the giant park bench at dusk.  Not sure what the knitted bands mean, they weren't there last year??

 Emu on the move, between Wilcannia and Broken Hill

 Emu: Do you think if I stand behind this fence post, they won't be able to see me??

 Miner's Memorial, at the top of the oldest mine workings, right in the centre of the town.

 View at dusk from the Miner's Memorial to one of the main streets of Broken Hill, Iodide Street I think?

 Old "Poppet Head" - entrance to one of the mine shafts of the main workings.

  Cr

 Horrocks Pass, between Peterborough and Port Augusta.  A lovely, but treacherous stretch of winding roads after hundreds of kilometres of pure straightness.  Crap pic, as it was starting to drizzle, but scenic none the less.

We went on a felicitous detour this time, due to the navigator (me, apparently) being asleep in the back seat at the time...  We therefore came across the pretty village of Melrose, at the foot of Mount Remarkable.  It seems to be a magnet for mountain bike riding, according to the bike shops and trail posters, but where the main street comes to a dead end was scenic enough for us, with tin sculptures and gorgeous gum trees in big wide median strips. 

 

What other retreat do you know offers a chauffeur driven pickup service from the local airport?  Go Sandra!

 Table decorations, custom chevron tote goody bags, personalised mugs....

 The "shed"  - looks basic, but it's just perfect for scrapping in alll night long!  Heaps of space, and filled with laughter and infectious creativity, its the best shed on earth.

 Table 9 - that's us!

 Ryn putting finishing touches to the banner swag in the entrance

 Lolly buffet and Inspiration Station

Parade of logo'ed tshirts - one for each of the 5 previous years - I've been so fortunate to be able to attend every one, except for the first in 2008.

That'll have to do for now, getting late!  I still have heaps to show you, pop back soon!
