Imagine, Design Studio, Simply Charmed and Imagine More

Ok so I really like to be able to see layers and all the goodies when I am doing a layout.  I miss that right now on the Imagine (I mean it's there, just not like on DS or the G) and I don't feel like I can "play around enough" yet with my designs on the Imagine.

So what I did is played with everything until I got what I wanted in DS, walked my laptop over to the Imagine and just added by size all that I had on my mat in DS.

I used Simply Charmed for the scarecrow and phrase.  I used Imagine More for the red "flannel" shirt and the printed paper in the phrase.  Since I was using the Imagine ink, and there is no hide contour yet I just cut the cheeks and face the same color and inked them before I glued them down.  I will also ink the outside of the phrase before making the layout so that Okie doesn't have a cow.

I LOVE IT.  I tried to do a little inking and decided to have a coughing fit instead so my blue jeans look wet but o well, they really do look better in real life.

Very Cute! I agree the real versatility will come after we get the Gypsy update. I too feel like my hands are tied. : ) Love the machine though.

I do the same thing with my CDS and my Imagine (except my computer & my I are sitting in the same area)! It helps trying to figure out the sizes, etc, doesn't it?? This is my 1st time visiting your blog so I'm off to check it out...

Good point, though sometimes it's hard to arrive to definite conclusions
