MDS Monday!

Soo...thanks once again go to Jena! Thank you for soo many things!!!  Thank you for getting me to play with MDS more, for getting me to work on my Blog, for helping me brainstorm ideas & for attempting to keep me on track a little more often...& mostly for just being there...on the other side of the country (almost), but just an IM, text, phone call or e-mail away...anytime I need you!  It really is amazing how you can build friendships & relationships with people you have never met in person with the technology we have today!  (Soo much quicker than my pen-pals of the 'olden days'...when we had to rely on 'snail-mail' to write to each other!!) lol 

You can visit Jena's Blog HERE!

Now, you're probably wondering when I'm going to get to the stuff this post is actually about...  How about right NOW?!?

Jena told me about this Blog that does MDS challenges every week...& told me how she started doing them to get some more 'practice' using our amazing My Digital Studio software.  While I wanted to go there right away & jump in, I didn't make it.  Instead, I glanced quickly at the current challenge & the submissions that were already in...LOVED the layout design & thought, "There is NO WAY I'm going to be able to learn how to do THAT in just 2 days!"  So...I closed it & went on with my list of everything else that I needed to do...keeping it in my head that I WOULD learn how to do that & make a layout with that design, even if it was too late to submit it.  I'm extremely happy to say that it was not as difficult to learn as I expected (& then I was kicking myself for not just doing it then & submitting it to the challenge)...

Here is the challenge sketch:

Click on the photo of the sketch to go to the Blog & see all the amazing pages that were submitted!

 

And here is the 2-page spread that I made!!!!!  ( I wish I could figure out how to get them to sit next to each other, but that will have to be something I learn later...)

 

 

I hope you enjoy!!  If you need more info about My Digital Studio or you would like to purchase the download, please go HERE!  If you would like the software on a disc, it is available here as well!  If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

 

Thanks for visiting!!

Soooo Many Announcements at Convention!

No...I'm not physically in Salt Lake City, enjoying this year's Annual Stampin Up! Convention...although I'm there in spirit!  However, I do have many friends there...and a couple people that are doing their best to keep me up-to-date on all the cool announcements!! 

So...special Thanks to Kathy & Jena for keeping me up to speed! 

I've found more info on the Demo Website so that I can share this exciting information with all of you!

Have you ever wanted a stamp but couldn't find the perfect image? Maybe you have a special family logo or a sketch you'd like to have as a stamp. Well now she can! Undefined is Stampin' Up!'s new stamp carving product line. You define the rubber stamp any way you want.

When you carve your very own stamp, you have will have an entirely new and different creative experience. And when you're finished, you will have created a one-of-a-kind stamp!

How exactly do you carve a stamp? Watch the video for a tutorial...HERE!

Swallowtail Graduation Card

Soo...tell me...who didn't think I was gonna make another post so soon?!?  Well, I know I was wondering if I'd get to it today or not...but what better motivation than the promise to myself that I can sit & watch a movie & relax AFTER I post to my blog?!?  Apparently none, because here I am!

Today I'm going to share another card!  I made this for a cousin of mine who just graduated from Towson University!!  It went in the mail today, but I'm pretty sure she won't see it here before she gets it.

ARGH...after spending over an hour trying to get a photo to upload to include in this post, I am giving up for now. :(  I will continue to try to get this photo uploaded so that I can share it with you very soon.

Sorry about the delay...I'm not sure why it's not working.

Happy New Year!!!!!

Welcome to 2013!!  A new year always brings 'resolutions'...whether you write them down or not! ;) One of my New Year's Resolutions is to work on becoming more consistent with posting to this blog! Now...I'm not going to make promises right now that I will post every other day, or anything crazy like that! I'm going to start with 'at least once a week' & as I get 'good' at that, then we'll see where it goes from there!

Soo...with that being said, here's this week's post!

Did you get some awesome gifts over the Holidays?!?   Have you sent Thank You cards to those who sent you something???   If you haven't, I'm sharing my Thank You cards today! (If you sent us something over the Holiday's & haven't gotten your Thank You card yet, rest assured they are on their way out & I'm sorry for the 'spoiler'!!)

Want to make these yourself?  Here's the list of supplies:

• Big Shot Machine
• Northern Flurry Embossing Folder
• Snow Flurry Bigz Die (today is the LAST DAY to order this item!)
• 1" Circle Punch
• 3/4" Circle Punch
• Simply Scored Tool

You can also order these already made!!  Leave a comment here with an e-mail address to contact you & I will be in touch ASAP if you are interested!

I would love to hear any feedback as well!  Leave me a comment with your thoughts too! 

Hope you enjoy & I will post again soon! ;)  (There's all kinds of new things starting tomorrow...if you don't get my Newsletter, make sure you ask me to add you!!)

Stocking Builder Punch...get yours NOW!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Stampin' Up! has announced that they will NOT be carrying the Stocking Builder Punch once the Holiday Mini Catalog expires on Jan 3rd!!  They have also said that once it is gone, it's GONE!  So...don't miss out on this punch!  If you thought about getting it but haven't yet, go order it NOW!!  You can do some really awesome things with this punch (yes, besides just Christmas stockings!), so let me know if you need more ideas for it once you get it! ;)

I just sent out...

...AMAZING Bundle Deals with a Lay-Away Option!!!!!  If you are having a difficult time making your $$ stretch during this Holiday season, here's a solution!  Send me your e-mail address & I will send you the Word.doc with all the details!!  These bundles make GREAT gifts, but are also the perfect way to spoil yourself with what you really want...without paying for it all at once!  You can spread your payments out for up to 4 months if you start NOW!

You really won't want to miss out on these!  They also include FREE Sale-A-Bration items with EACH Bundle!!!

Oh My Gosh!!! It's been WAY too long!

I'm sorry I've been gone soo long...I'm sure you know how it is...one day ends & you put all the things left on your To-Do list that didn't get done onto the next day...along with all the things that were already on that day...and they just pile up & up & up until you have to re-prioritize & start over!!!

Well...here I am...starting over!  Although I originally wanted to post on here on Monday-Wednesday-Friday...it's still Tuesday (if I get this done & sent within the next 30 minutes, anyway!)

It's been a crazy couple weeks...as we're all getting ready for the busiest time of the year!  But there are still a few Gift Tag & Christmas Card classes coming up before the holidays...if you need those last minute crafty items & gifts for those that you just can't find anything for (we all have those on our lists that seem to have EVERYTHING...yet we feel that we MUST get them something...)

Here are a few pics of some of the projects I've been working on...& some of the things you can still make before Christmas!  Enjoy & check out my Events for dates & times of the upcoming classes!

The kit to make this can still be ordered for $19.95!  I have the stamps & inks that don't come in the kit.  You can come over to make it & just pay a fee for the use of adhesives (including hot glue), or I can get you a complete supply list & what it would cost to have all the supplies used!

Orders must be in by Dec 13th to arrive by Dec 24th!

I hope you enjoy what you see here & I hope to see you in a class very soon!!!!!
