For those of you with MDS who love it like I do, here is my plan. I am going to back up my files just in case. Then I am going to continue to use it as I have been for a few years now. I looked into some other software and found that there is a lot of good stuff out there, but since this is working for me, I am not going to get rid of it just yet.
When the time comes, and I need to switch, I plan on switching to the My Memories version 6. here is a link. The My Memories company is the company that made MDS for Stampin' Up! and works most like MDS. There are a few issues though. They do not have the same print options that Stampin' Up! does. For example with MDS you can make a card and then choose to print 4 to an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet, or you can choose to print two to an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet, cut in half, or you can print one to fold in fourths. Also, My Memories does not have Stampin' Up! colors pre-programed, and as I like to make hybrid cards, that is important to me. However, there are work arounds for all the issues. Another Stampin' Up! demonstrator Janine Tinklenberg has make a list of all the Stampin' Up! colors and their RGB codes , You are wonderful Jan!! I will add them to the bottom of this post.
In the mean time, I will keep on creating wonderful pages in MDS and see how it goes. Be sure to check into backing up your files just in case! And I plan to keep on posting pages and sketches here and I'll see if that is helpful to anyone.
I am working on compiling a list of printing options for the MDS Monday site and I will keep you updated on that as well.
This is great Beth! Thanks for sharing. I will continue to check out your blog for inspiration and hints. I, too, am continuing to use MDS but need to find alternate methods of printing. I have backed up my files but now need to make sure I have bought all the downloads I want!
