Here is the FASTEST page ever! This is one of the free templates available as a download.  I simply downloaded it, unzipped it, and opened it in My Digital Studio.  I did a "drag and drop" of the photo, added my journalling and saved it! I just happened to have a perfect photo for this title 🙂

If you'd like more information about My Digital Studio, or digital scrapbooking in general, please feel free to contact me!  I acquired a neat video program a while back, so plan on sharing some videos in the near future on creating items in My Digital Studio – stay tuned!

Are you getting ready?!

Tree-card-christmasThought I'd have this photo up and out in the open to remind you about the Christmas Card Clinics – starting November 12th!  This is one of the card designs you may choose – I will prep everything and have the supplies out, you come and create! Cost is $30 for 10 cards and envelopes.  There's a photo album on the sidebar of the blog "Card Clinic 11" with other choices.  I hope to have a few more options to tempt you over the weekend.  Time to start making your list (of Christmas card recipients!).  Please contact me if you have any questions, or to register for one of the clinics.

From now until December 15th, It's Good to be the Hostess!  Host a Stampin' Up! workshop with sales over $450 and earn extra hostess dollars to spend!  Stampin' Up!'s new hostess plan gives you the flexibility to choose how you spend your hostess dollars – spend it on exclusive hostess-only items, or use it on ANYTHING in the catalogue!  You'll have more to spend now!  Contact me to book your workshop, I do still have some limited availability during this special.

Getting Ready for the Card Clinics!

I've started to upload a few designs to the Card Clinic folder for this year. The album is at the right on the blog or click here if you're reading this in an email update or reader.  The way the clinic works – select a design, a date, and register and pay for a minimum of 10 cards of the same design.  I will prep all the materials and have them ready for you on your selected date. You come to Burlington, stamp and assemble the cards and take them (and the envelopes) home to sign, seal and mail! Lovely handmade cards (by YOU) without the design hassle, prep or clean up!  CONTACT ME if you have any questions or are ready to register.

Dates available:

Saturday, November 12 – 10 am OR 2pm

Sunday, November 13 – 2pm

Thursday, November 17 – 7pm

Friday, November 18 – 7pm

Easy ornament – video tutorial available!

Halloween-ornamentThis is a Hallowe'en version of an easy home decor element.  By switching out the DSP, you can make the decoration suit whatever occasion you wish!  I have a video tutorial on how to create this at my yamstamps facebook fan page.  All you have to do is click "like" on the page, then follow the instructions to view the video! 

A hint – if you have a repeating design like this paper – if you keep the strips stacked in the order that you cut them, the pattern will be (more or less!) intact when you finish your project!

Hope you all have a safe and fun Hallowe'en!  Fingers crossed it's not too cold out there tonight for trick or treating!

Sending Spooky Greetings!

Halloween-cardOK, so maybe not so spooky, more cute, but whatever.  This quick and easy card uses the Halloween Hang Ups jumbo wheel (from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalogue) as the main image.  The patterned paper is from the Frightful Sight Designer Series Paper package.  Card is Cajun Craze cardtock and Basic Black cardstock accent.  I took the colours straight from the DSP – no thinking required – just my type of crafting! LOL.

I'll be sharing another Hallowe'en type crafty project tomorrow so be sure to check back for your treat!

It would be scary to miss out!

A quick reminder that the end of October is drawing near.  If you are sitting on the fence about either of the Stampin' Up! specials this month, you only have a few days if you'd like to take advantage – don't miss out!  The Simply Sent promotion ends on Hallowe'en, as does the starter kit free Big Shot promotion (or as I like to call it "The ultimate business builder's tool!!"). Please contact me ASAP if you'd like more information – nothing scarier than regrets?!

And now we resume regular broadcasting…

Oh my! It's been quite an experience for me of late.  My computer started to act up and in the end I needed to get a new system, so it's been a whirlwind of visits to computer geeks to get files and folders transferred over and get the new system up to scratch….but I think (touch wood!) it's all settled now!! Thank you for your patience.

So – apologies for the bit of radio silence.  On the plus side, I have a spiffy new computer system and am ensuring that my backups are up to date as well LOL.

I have a new video up on my yamstamps facebook fan page for fans!  All you have to do (if you haven't already) is click on "like" to get access to it.

Also a reminder that the Stitched Stockings Themed class is coming up next week, so if you haven't already reserved your spot – please do so ASAP.  Hope to see you soon!

Simply Sent – Even More Simple!
