Eureka!

With some brain power I finally figured it out.  I think my image is still cut off a bit on the sides but I just tweaked it from previewing it in blogger, about fifty times

Here it is!

Anyone else want to know how I did it?

Here is a link that I followed.

The only thing I did differently use a 12x12 page in MDS, and make my base punch 10x6 instead.  That was the only was I could get it so blogger didn't tile my image.

Hope you like Part 1 of the new look.

I have some other ideas to give our blog a face lift, but let's be real here....

a.) I already tackled one part of the make over tonight, which took me a fair amount of time.

b.) My kids are sleeping and the new episode of Desperate Housewives is on my DVR waiting for me.

New Look for the BLOG!

Well for those of you who don't know....  Here is the official news.

I signed on to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! 

So I wanted to announce it with a bang, and give the blog a new look.  This is still our families blog, but I will also be sharing this new adventure here too!  No surprise to me, I'm no 100% happy with how the new look turned out.  I used My Digital Studio, that part I am completely happy with!  I mean how can you not love, the Dotted Striped designer paper, and of course Wild Wasabi punch with Very Vanilla Stamps!?!

My problem comes in that I am not a techie, and I can't figure out for the life of me how to re-size.  How can you ask the creative juices of my mind to fit in a file that is no more then 300k and 1800x1600 pixels?  REALLY? 

Well, at least I'm taking MDS (My Digital Studio) out on the open road, and giving it a real test drive.  It more than passed, my computer knowledge however, did not.

I look forward to sharing more Stampin' Up! creations with you!
