Since so many people completed the questionnaire and took advantage of the free downloads for My Digital Studio (and zip files for other photo editing programs) – there's a FIFTH free download available! Click here to go to mydigitalstudio.net and download the fun holiday themed download – it's great!!
This is one of the card options for the Christmas Card clinics starting next week. I also decided to showcase it today at Carolanne's workshop – as she had requested to do a couple of Christmas cards. I always think monochromatic colour schemes are so elegant.
If you'd like to mass produce these cards to send to your friends, please register for one of my card clinics – just let me know which card you'd like to make, and which date you'll be attending. All clinics are here in Burlington, and there's a choice of days and times. Please note that space is limited so register early!
Just a friendly reminder to turn your clock back one hour before going to sleep tonight! I much prefer the "falling back" vs. "springing forward" as I always feel like I'm so productive when I get up "early" the next day LOL. Gives me an extra hour to make sure I've got everything packed for Carolanne's workshop on Sunday – and gives YOU an extra hour to contemplate being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator with my team! The free Big Shot with your starter kit purchase has been extended to November 11th. If you'd like to discuss what's involved in becoming a demonstrator (hint….not that much LOL) contact me!
Thought I’d try my tech skills and give a screen capture video tutorial a try – feel free to give feedback! This shows how I created my digital scrapbook page (I know, you thought it was my raw talent, but really….this video shows the truth ROFLOL). It’s a flash video so some devices may not support it. If it doesn’t show up or the link above doesn’t work, here’s the link to the yamstamps youtube channel version. Fingers crossed that one of the links will work for you!!
Stampin' Up! is celebrating Digital Scrapbooking Day by sharing the digi goodness with you! Head to MyDigitalStudio.net, complete the survey and download your four FREE items! The free items include a digital brush stamp set, a holiday ensemble (images, accents) and templates, plus a FANTASTIC set of "tapes" in neutral colours.
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!
Thought 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.
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
This 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!
Just found out that Stampin' Up! has decided to extend the Big Shot promotion until November 11th – so you have a few more days to realize what a great deal this is…LOL. Please contact me if you'd like to start your business with a BANG!
