Officially Certified

I am now CERTIFIED (for My Digital Studio, that is!). I have completed the training so that I can now help my customers with questions regarding SU's new digital scrapbooking software. I created an album and a card using My Digital Studio and I must say I was pretty pleased with the results. I love playing with the program...just a little busy to be able to spend much time in it. Let me know if you are interested in a demonstration!

Tah, tah for now!

Happy November 1st! Can you believe it is November already?!!! I don't have anything to post today. There are a couple of things I am working on but will not post them until towards the end of the week. This is my week to go over to the Bay Area, so I will be gone from Monday to Wednesday afternoon. Have a great week!

Tah, tah for now.

This is a Halloween card I designed with My Digital Studio. It was quick and easy to do. Now I can share it here, through e-mail, I can print it myself and mail it, or I can submit it to SU's printer for printing. I even have the option of adding music to it...how great is that?

I finished my certification for My Digital Studio this week. I sent a scrapbook to the printers for printing and cannot wait to get it back. That should be next week...then I can show it off to everyone! I am so excited about this new program and all it's wonderful possibilities. I thought it was just a digital scrapbooking program, but it is much, much, more! I'll have more on it later.

Tah, tah for now!

Stamp Camp Projects

For those of you who missed Stamp Camp but would like to make some of the projects, you will have the chance to do so on Friday, November 6th, at 6:00 p.m., my house.

These are the three projects we will be doing...aren't they cute?!! The little note card holder was a hit at Stamp Camp. The ladies liked the idea that it was so easy to make once you knew what to do, and it makes such a cute gift idea!

The gift card holder was also a favorite. It is easy to chage the looks just by changing out the color of cardstock and/or DSP you choose. And, who doesn't need gift card holders for the holidays?!!

Let me know if you would like to join us November 6th.

Tah, tah for now!

Where does the time go?

It has been a whole week since I have been on my blog...sorry! I have been busy working on my certification for the new digital studio. (Stampin'Up's new scrapbooking program) That is so much fun...I still have to get my samples made and off to SU to complete my certification.

In addition, I have been working on my Stamp Camp projects. So much paper to cut and preparations to make! We have a lot of fun at the camps, though, so it is worth it! I am also working on my brayer class...I have done two projects, but I'm still not completely satisfied with the results. Needs more work, so back to the drawing board!

Tah, tah for now!

Here are two more cards/projects from the meeting at Margaret's.





Isn't this little turkey guy cute? He is made completely from punches...can you guess which ones? Contact me if you would like to know how to make him.

The Christmas card is so elegant, but so easy to make! The picture doesn't do it justice...it is much more elegant in person.

I recently attended a class put on by Michele Zindorff. She makes beautiful cards, creating landscapes with the use of a brayer. I am working on a couple of projects I hope to have finished soon. If I finish the first one, I will post it tomorrow, along with information for a class to learn how to make it.

Tah, tah for now!

Here is a project from our meeting at Margaret's on Sunday. This was one of the many samples we saw. Notice the Frankenstein boxes to the sides. I did those last year with my customers and they were a big hit! I thought the reindeer was so darling...I might try that for a class in November.

The little Frankenstein on the left is actually the Curly Label punch made into a pin! Isn't he cute?!! What a clever idea...I plan to try that one, too!

Wow, I can't believe so much time has passed since I last blogged! I have been super busy preparing for our upcoming Stamp Camp (October 22, 23, and/or 24th). If you haven't registered yet, be sure to get your form in prior to October 15th.

I have some pictures on my camera to share with you that I need to download. Hopefully I can get to that tomorrow!

Have a super Thursday, and thanks for stopping in! Tah, tah for now.

As promised, here is a project I made using the Circle Circus stamp set. I stamped the image on a washer, then embossed it. I got the idea from a card Margaret got in a swap. I don't know who did the card, but I have attached a picture of that also. If this is your card, please let me know so I can give you credit. I love the idea. I am working on an idea for earrings to match!

I have my youngest grandson with me today. He was not feeling well this morning, so Mom thought it would be best for him to stay with me and rest. He is napping now, so I had a little time I could work on my post.

Have a great Tuesday...tah, tah for now!

Free Stamps!!

I finally got around to putting together my FREE stamp sets from Stampin'Up. I received three stamps sets of my choice for winning the September WOW Art Contest. What a great company! Tomorrow I will post a picture of something I made with Circle Circus, one of the sets. We will be using this stamp set at the upcoming Stamp Camp, too, which will be held October 22-24th. Contact me if you want more information!

Tah, tah for now!

I didn't have a chance to do any stamping today, but I did have a card I wanted to share with you. I took the picture of this card at Margaret's house the last time we had a meeting. It shows what can be done with punches and a little imagination! I apologize, I do not know who actually created the card. Margaret got it in a swap. Isn't it cute?!! There are so many talented people out there...

Tah, tah for now.

Had a great day shopping today with my daughter. Didn't do much in the way of stamping today...will get to work on that tomorrow. I am still trying to figure out how to set up some of the stuff on my blog!

Here is the ribbon box I made and submitted for the September WOW Art contest. Guess what...I won! I was so surprised and pleased. Contact me if you would like directions for making this box.

Let's get started!

Well, I have put it off long enough...time to get started with this blog! I know I can write something on a regular basis, but I am still working out adding pictures (getting them from my camera to the post). I best try that tomorrow morning.

Tah, tah for now!
