Q: Why should I purchase My Digital Studio when I can download other applications for free?

• Exclusive Stampin' Up! Colours: No other application has Stampin' Up! exclusive colors. This is especially important for making hybrid (projects that combine traditional Stampin' Up! products layered on top of digital creations) projects.
• Robust Features and Functionality: My Digital Studio is a user friendly, intuitive program designed specifically for digital scrapbooking and card making. Combining a robust group of features, multiple output options, strong photo editing capabilities, and the ability to add multimedia elements such as hot spot links, music, narration, and video to your projects, My Digital Studio is simply a better application than you can get on the web.

Q: What is the difference between selecting to create a Photo Album, Card, Calendar, and Multiple Output Options?
