Ideas for using Digital Cardstock from Shanna Noel

Love the pattern, so fun!

You Rock Shanna. I love your tutorials girl.

you make me fall in love with digi more and more each time. you're an artist girl!! love it.

You do realize that digi downloads take away a lot of the experience of viewing, holding, and just taking in the whole fun of interacting with pretty papers. You no longer control the type of paper the creator intended the image be printed on--if you print a high grade cardstock image on multipurpose paper, what do you think you're going to get. True, you can make multiple copies if you make a "mistake." But those copies are costing you additional money in paper, toner, electricity and all user costs. I just bought a new Brother laser color printer. The high yield replacement toner cartridges are going to cost me more than the entire cost of the printer with low grade (which look pretty decent to me) cartridges installed. Anyone but me see the problem here? And I'm not a techno-phobe. I've been a techno-phile since the 70s. But I want my pretty papers in the form the maker intended them to be.

I loved how you used the digi cardstock and your layout is fantastic!!

Oh my gosh! This has just blown my mind! Thankyou for your amazing tutorial. I've learned so much :-)

Shanna, you rock! I love the page you made and i loved how you used the digital papers!

Thank you Shanna!! I'm so glad you're back! You make it look so easy! I love my pretty papers and now you've shown me how to create my own!..so cool!

I know one of these days I will try to incorporate some fun digi designs into my projects although I still love the feel of paper in my hands I love the idea of learning new techniques. Just like mixed media it's just a little something more to add! I think I'm going to try this over the weekend! You are awesome Shanna!

Lost me lol but loved watching totally mesmerised Shanna it was so cool

Oh Shanna!!! I just want to crawl around inside your brain when you are creating...(ew...;)) - but really...the way you do things is just so amazing and so ridiculously inspiring...I love love love this...and I'm gonna try it. Thank you!!!!

Way cool!

You RAWK Shanna! Thanks for the awesome inspiration and tutorial!

I think I need a class to understand the basics, but I love the idea of creating like this. Thanks for sharing this. Can this be done in PE or only Photoshop. Thx!

@artgirlbev YES elements is AWESOME and this can totally be done on there as well :)

mad love for this Shanna! Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks here!

Amazing! You make PS look so easy!

I love the layout you made!! its awesome. Since you are like one of the Queens of Digi Scrappin, I am curious about your thoughts on Printers. I am having the hardest time making a decision about which printer to buy. I asked for one for Christmas but haven't picked one out yet haha! (it's driving me bonkers) ... anyways, if you could choose any home printer, to print photos, and digital elements, what would you choose? :) Meg

I'd love to hear your thoughts on printers as well. Your work is beautiful
