MDS Monday: Free Wallpaper

Free Wallpaper Created in My Digital Studio

Happy Monday!

For this week’s My Digital Studio Monday I was in need of a desktop wallpaper with a calendar- like the free ones from Stampin’ Up! all last year.  Well, I am totally reliant on the calendar being easily accessible while working on my laptop so having gone the past three months without one has been torture.  But, MDS makes it easy to create a calendar and you can decorate it however you please.

I started out by creating a project that matched my desktop dimensions (1200 x 800 pixels).

Then I decided on a theme- Crisp Cantaloupe.  I added the card stock background.

Next I added a few rows of embellishments.  The white frame is from the Grunge download that comes preloaded on MDS.  You will have to size it down for it to fit onto your screen.

I added a calendar template for April 2014, changed the font and enlarged it to 20 pt. and used the universal search query to find the month April and decided on this little banner.  I changed the color to Pool Party to match my dots.

I went back and added a drop shadow to each row of dots, the banner and the frame.

That’s all. Simple & Sweet.  Perfect for me, April (no pun intended).

To download this wallpaper you will right click and select “Save Image As”.  Save it to your computer and go into your settings to change your wallpaper.  Tada- now you too can have a functional desktop calendar.  I think I will be doing this every month!

In addition to this awesome FREE download, below is a sneak peek of the Undefined Stamp Carving Kit fun that I had over the weekend.  Each day I will show off a new project. You won’t want to miss it so stay tuned!
