I’m doing a lot of travelling this week – pretty long flights so not much room to do anything. Saturday was just under ten hours from Heathrow to Miami and last night was a five and a half hour flight from Miami to San Diego. I’m not very good at sleeping when I’m travelling, even on the longer flights, so the more I have to occupy me the better.
I have My Digital Studio (MDS) on my laptop and this is a great way to spend time crafting in a confined space and keep it tidy too (no ink pads, paper trimmer, punches etc needed). I’ve downloaded a couple of stamp brush sets that I don’t have as actual stamp sets and thought I’d play with one of those on last night’s flight.
In fact, I made two versions of the same card using the Sweetest Gift stamp brush set.

The other great thing with MDS is that you can re-size and crop things to
fit. Once I get home I am tempted to remake these cards with the actual
stamp set (another thing I now just have to get) and then make a hybrid
card. I can stamp the background and punch the ribbon but then print out
the greeting as my decorative label punch is nowhere that big!
Off now to go visit another college with Michael, it’s a bit of a drive to LA for the visit but at least we can drive there and back in the day from here.
