Holiday Wall Art--MDS Style

I'm sure most folks have been busy working on getting their homes decorated for the upcoming Christmas holidays!  I love that in My Digital Studio, there are SEVERAL pre-made decor items that folks can purchase and print off to have quick/easy holiday art to decorate their homes.  OR, spend a little 'extra' time and create your own images, whether out of words, or images, it's a quick/easy way to add a little extra-special touch to this time of year!!

First off, check out these cute downloads that Stampin' Up! already designed:

Home for the Holidays - 128885

Homemade Happiness - 132192
But one of the great things is that there are SO many awesome images/etc. that you can easily create art of your own.   This Santa Suit that I made last year is probably one of my favorites:
I also like to create 'alphabet' art . .. you know, when you go thru the entire alphabet and have each word relate to a specific topic?!  Well, here's a Christmas one I did:
And sometimes you can use just words/fonts to create some cool looks.  And you're not limited to red/white/green--you can adapt any of the projects to match your specific holiday decor!!
My friend Ginger posted a version of this image yesterday, and when I saw it, I knew I wanted to create my own version, which was a lot of fun to do:


Or, how about taking a favorite Christmas movie quote and creating a decor piece with that?!
And of course, you're not limited to 'portrait' orientation in MDS--'landscape' works, too!!  I saw a version of this cool image last year and knew I wanted to re-create it in MDS:
But, hey, you can really go with any shape.  I have a lot of fun doing 8" square images (since I can often print them at home and have them ready to go lickety-split!), and creating the 'patchwork' look in the background on this tree decor piece:
And here, I've gone back to using just words (in this case, Christmas song titles).  For the one, I used religious hymns, and the other, popular secular tunes.

And this is just a drop in the bucket of all of the fun holiday projects you can do using My Digital Studio!  And there's still plenty of time before the holidays to order your own copy of the program and start creating!!  You can visit my online store to place your order today!!

Happy Stamping!
