Can it be true?? My beloved Design Studio...

will be obsolete?? I just heard on the Cricut MB that there will be a new version of Design Studio, called Design Studio Pro, released. It will have more features and the ever coveted group all feature that we have been salivating for! But what about my old DS program?? How can I abandon it like a poor little puppy caught in the rain after it has been so good to me?? I am so torn right now! Do I jump right in and get the new program when it is released and toss my baby to the side like a used up dishrag or do I keep it and just use both programs??

OMG and what about my .cut files I have? Will they work with the new version or will I have to remake them all? *okie is starting to get a migraine from the thinking and decisions she will have to make*. This is just too much for me to handle. I think it is time for me to go to bed and look at my new Stampin Up catalog and hope they don't come out with a new improved rubber that will only work with their inks!!

  1. I would bet money that it will be reverse-compatible making your .cut files perfectly useable.

  2. I feel your pain Okie! What happened to what we heard last summer that DS would be updated with lots of cool stuff? Instead, we have to spend more money to get DS Pro. We'll just have to wait and see what happens!

  4. There will be an awful lot of unhappy people around Oakie if the cut files don't work with the new programme.
    Hopefully that won't be the case and all your hard work will not be lost

  5. AND - being totally selfish here...if people like Okie, and Cap, and..etc, create cut files on the new version, will people like me be able to cut them with our old version??? I'm guessing not! So many questions! This all sounds like it's going to be much too confusing!

  6. I was pretty bummed when I read that they were coming out with DS PRO. I just recently spent the money for the one that I have right now... and they want MORE money! I just can't imagine, now that I am hooked on DS, not being able to use the NEW files that all the talented people on here are so willing to share! Aren't the cartridges expensive enough to keep everyone in the Provo Craft company eating well? Enough of me feeling sorry... :)
    Okie, I love you're blog and all the work that you do and share. Awesome! Thank you.

  8. I really hope there is a discounted Upgrade fee for those of us who already have CDS. I mean I don't want to pay at all, but I hope we don't have to pay for the full version if we already have the CDS.

  10. Goodness sakes alive!! I've only had my DS for two months!! UGH! Okie, I've really enjoyed your cut files. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with me. I was working on making flap fold cards last night. They are really quick & cute. I appreciate your continued generosity.

  14. I cant believe they are making us pay MORE for another program that has stuff that their origial program SHOULD be able to do in the 1st place. Rediculous. I will be thinking long and hard before forking more money out for DS "PRO"
