I got to join a host of lovely ladies (and one gentleman) today at the Make A Statement Digital Tour in Perth, the 4 hour training session was suitable for beginners or advanced uses as I think everyone learnt some awesome tips from it!
I’m not entirely sure what the power usage at the Convention Centre today was whilst we all had our laptop computers plugged in, but we had a lot of fun – although of course when you add technology into the mix you always get some hiccups, but the wonderful helpers in the room were on hand to assist which removed a lot of anxieties.
We had interstate as well as local presenters and there was a variety of aspects to the sessions to keep everyones ideas flowing. My biggest tip after you download the free trial is to also download the instruction manual for the program or go and check out the dedicated website for My Digital Studio here.
There were some fantastic displays up as well – these included photo books, menu plans, home decor, birthday party decorations, treat packaging, wall prints, cards, tags, bookmarks – honestly the variety of items you can make with MDS is virtually limitless! Here are a few – the first is a sneak peek from the new Holiday mini with fabric transfer paper ironed onto it.
A super cute bookmark from a cute digital download called Book Buddies:
A beautiful framed print
I loved this idea of a birthday flip book – but I think I need more than one line alongside each date!
I can totally see this laminated, with a magnet on the back on my fridge or framed and then being able to write on the glass surface with a whiteboard marker – how practical is this?? I think this was a custom creation, but you could also use the templates here if you wanted a quicker version.
This was part of a beautiful wedding ensemble – that included the invitations, thank you cards, bonbonaires, place cards, table numbers and this amazing guest book (I think it might need a blog post all to itself)
These amazing vintage luggage tags were created by Sophie (one of the presenters above)
and of course My Digital Studio can do scrap pages, this one I think was done by Sarah (the other presenter pictured above) using an ensemble called Back to School
The wonderfully generous Stampin’ Up! gave away some prize patrols of a new stamp and accessories from the Holiday mini catalogue being released later this week, plus every attendee received a copy of the new mini catalogue and we ALL received a FREE digital download! I’ll post more ideas, tips and inspiration from the Make A Statement Digital Tour in Perth later this week and if I get some time to finish a couple of the scrap pages we were using for training I will post those as well!
