I am so lucky to be able to work with the fantastic people at CH Morning Live on a fairly regular basis! I was invited to appear to share ideas about saving those holiday memories.
Thanks once again to my friend and tech guy Tom for capturing the video for me! If you can't see the link above view the video on youtube HERE.
Are you on Facebook? Please "like" the Yamstamps facebook page – there's a free video once you're a fan. Once you're there, I've posted the link to a free digital download from Stampin' Up! but it's only available until January 10th, so don't delay. There's a very brief questionnaire to complete and then you can download the Day in the Life kit. (I included the link so you could see it but please go through the facebook link to get it for free!) The kit includes a whole whack of digital designer series papers, elements and accents plus a template, and is valued at $18.50 Canadian! I love templates – they're so easy to use – just drag & drop your photos into place. The items are available to use in My Digital Studio but there's also a version that you could use with other software (e.g. Photoshop)! Please contact me if you have questions about using My Digital Software and the elements either in MDS or other programs (I also use Photoshop).
Thanks once again to everyone at CH Morning Live for welcoming me onto the show this morning – a nice (albeit early LOL) way to start the new year!
I thought I'd share the instructions to re-create the post-it note holder I showed at the end of my segment.
1) Cut your cardstock to 3.25" x 8" (this is for a 3" x 3" sized post it). We used Certainly Celery cardstock
2) Score the cardstock at .5", 4.25" and 4.5"
3) Stamp as desired. We used images from Stampin' Up!'s Circle Circus this morning, in Old Olive classic ink.
4) Fold along your score lines, and staple near the fold at the bottom
5) Stick a portion of post-it notes inside the matchbook folder and close the top fold. You're done!
That's how easy it is :) If only being organized and remembering things was THIS easy!! LOL.
If you have any questions about the projects or products I showed this morning, please feel free to contact me. I hope to have a copy of the video uploaded by the end of the week, in case you missed it, so please bookmark www.yamstamps.com and come back to visit!
Happy New Year! Have you made your resolutions? I have the typical ones (at least for me) plus a few ones that are new to my list.
One of my perpetual resolutions is to be more organized….so I had to chuckle to myself when I was asked to be on CH Morning Live again – the theme being organizing your holiday memories! I am choosing to focus on the creative side of organizing memories, specifically scrapbooking the memories to preserve them! I'm scheduled to appear tomorrow morning (Monday, January 2nd) around 8:10 am if you're in the viewing area.
If you are hoping to get more scrapbooking done this year (or get started) – I'm scheduling a few scrapbooking classes here in Burlington over the next few months. We'll create two page layouts that you can then add your photos and memorabilia to once you take your masterpieces home. See my classes page for more information, or contact me to register.
Thank you for being a reader of my blog, and I wish you a very happy, healthy and creative 2012.
Seems like there's technical issues with Stampin' Up!'s Demonstrator Business Websites (that's the fancy term for the site where you can online shop with me!). Just to let you know that you can still access online shopping through this link HERE in the meantime. Don't forget that you can also purchase Canadian gift certificates for merchandise or class fees by contacting me directly. In the new year, I will be offering the Inbox Inspiration program – weekly mailings of crafty projects, and also online classes, and will be revealing details over the next while.
In the meantime….back to my Christmas cards!! (yes, I'm still making them…hopefully they'll get mailed before 2012).
So my appearance on FYI was postponed and it will be tonight at 6:25 pm! I thought I had managed to reschedule the blog posting, but apparently I had some technical difficulties and it appeared on the original date. Oops. Anyway, the spot I did on "FYI" for Cogeco cable TV – channel 23 in the Burlington/Oakville/Flamborough East area will be aired today. If you're outside of the viewing area, here's the link to video. (it's also embedded below, if I did it correctly?!). They wanted to feature the free content available here on www.yamstamps.com! The team at FYI were great to work with and did a fantastic job of editing – I had to cough during the interview and they were able to get rid of almost all of the coughs! (Note to self: remember to use inhaler just before taping next time!!! LOL). Thanks to Jessica and the Cogeco team for having me on the show!
