Another card that can be used for Easter….or you could vary the colour scheme to use for another event such as a Baptism.The cross is heat embossed with gold powder, and the background is dry embossed using the Fancy Fan embossing folder and the Big Shot. I love also using the Brushed Metallic Gold cardstock as an accent. Still time to make this and give it to someone special at Easter!
Speaking of still having time…(what a smooth segue, eh?!) Stampin' Up!'s Starter Kit special has been extended until March 31st!! You can select $194 of merchandise and pay only $125. It's a fantastic way to get more bang for your buck! (hmmm should have posted about this on Frugal Friday, I guess?!) Contact me if you have any questions, or if you're ready to sign up and live in Canada, click here.

Tuesdays are always new digital release day for Stampin' Up! and today is no different. See all the new digital downloads that are available HERE.
Of course, a new month means a new desktop calendar background. April's free download coordinates with the April Showers kit
The downloads can be used in digital photo editing software or in My Digital Studio (MDS). To save confusion, all versions of My Digital Studio to date will be referred to as "MDS" – and more exciting news, Stampin' Up! has drastically dropped the price of this fun software! If you were hestitating at the previous price point, hestitate no more! All the features that were included in MDS2+ are now available as "MDS" for the new low price of $24.95!!
Digital crafting is a great way to exercise your creativity without leaving too much physical evidence! LOL. If you are looking to still have fun and create artistically, but don't have room for tons of supplies (or wish to hide the evidence 😉 I won't tell), this may be the route for you! Once you've created your masterpiece, you can print it out professionally or by yourself, add some embellishments, and share with others!
Contact me if you have any questions – but be sure to get your digital freebie first before you forget!!

Sharing a couple more "love"ly cards that I received in swaps from Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference. Great for Valentine's Day or any occasion that you'd give a card to someone you love or to celebrate love! Both these cards showcase punches.
This first card doesn't have ID on the back of it – so if you created it, please let me know so I can give you credit! Anyway, I love the clean graphic nature of this card and glimmer makes it more fun! Texture and pattern make a simple card more interesting.
This fun card is from Karen Duke who credits Karen Yeomans for the design. The body of the fish uses the Ornament Punch and Delightful Decorations – not just for Christmas!
There are new digital downloads available today for MDS2 and photo editing software – including a new, FREE download! The Label This Designer Template download is FREE so that you can get your Stampin' Up! supplies organized! OK I have few excuses left for my messy crafting area, obviously. Will have to get to work on that! In the meantime, happy crafting 🙂

Don't forget your free February download! This desktop calendar image can be downloaded from my online Stampin' Up! store HERE. (the copyright info won't appear on it, don't worry!). The theme is "Box of Chocolates" and coordinates with the digital kit of the same name. I know you are ALL saying "Life is like a box of chocolates…" in your best Forrest Gump voice (or is that just me?!). While you're at the store getting your free download, you might want to grab a digital content disc – only $1 on the clearance rack – while supplies last! More digital fun to be had 🙂
In the meantime, I'm prepping for February's monthly class which is tomorrow evening. It's going to be a full house, so I'm sure it will be fun! If you missed out this month – there's still options – 1) get a group of friends together and I'll bring the class to you – contact me to set a date! 2) Join my stampers club and have a guaranteed seat at the exclusive club class – contact me to sign up 3) Get my online class and learn crafty techniques and tips from the comfort of your own home! Check it out here
Other good news before I go – I _think_ the YamStamps app has been updated so that you can see the images from the app….fingers crossed…(I try so hard to be "techy" but it's a stretch sometimes…).
I'll be posting more Valentine's Day ideas here in the next few days – plenty of time to get crafty for your loved ones – so I hope you come back to www.yamstamps.com to check it out!
