Jun 19, 2012 | My Digital Studio, Stamper's Club |
It’s Tuesday – so it’s My Digital Studio day. I made this page earlier this year – it was part of Heather’s first MDS online class. When i saw her page I remembered these pictures that I took one summer where we went and got shakes at Johnny Rockets. These were taken at Barefoot Landing in 2003. This summer we were back at Barefoot Landing (Myrtle Beach area in South Carolina) but we did not go to the Johnny Rockets – I don’t even remember if it was still there – the area has a lake in the middle and this year we didn’t cross the bridges like we normally do. We did stop for some ice cream – I’ll need to scrapbook those pictures soon.
Stampin’ Up! released some new My Digital Studio digital downloads today and I saw on Facebook that the MDS 2 coming later this year is going to include the option to get a list of everything you used on your page just a t the press of the button – yeah! That will make it super easy to tell you what is on the page.
For this page I used elements from the Sweet Shop downloads that came out in the last mini catalog.
You can see all the available Digital Downloads on my website.
The thermometer is rising! Thanks to Leishman and Nicole for helping. I have about half of the 55 orders either placed or coming in still so we are half way there! But time is running out the 30th is approaching quickly – if you want to help me earn my first incentive trip – Read more here.
I got up and exercised this morning, went outside and watered the plants and picked blueberries! That’s a good start to a day – right?
Now I’m getting ready for my card class tonight at KSU – I’m looking forward to seeing the girls tonight.
Have a great day!
Jun 18, 2012 | Birthday, Cards |
I made this card for an old Color Challenge on the Create with Connie and Mary site (there is a link in my side bar if you want to see what is happening on their site – preview week for their new class just ended). The colors were Basic Black, Real Red, and Pool Party plus a neutral – I chose Whisper White.
It’s a pretty clean and simple card – I used an image from the Every Little Bit stamp set – the gumball machine is perfect in Real Red, and then i colored all the gumballs with the Pool Party Stampin’ Write Marker – I’m so glad Stampin’ Up! has markers for the In-colors. The image is punched with the 1″ circle punch, then layered on two more circles in Pool Party and Real Red. I stamped the happy birthday and colored it in with the markers. I used the Real Red Marker and the piercing mat to add the dotted frame around the card front.
I hope you like it.
I’m still looking for more $55 orders to help me earn my first incentive trip. Read more here. Watch the thermometer rise on the side of my blog!
Have a great day!
Jun 16, 2012 | Cards, Demonstrator, In Colors |
This simple card idea came directly from the Stampin’ Success magazine that Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators receive each month. The magazine was “re-designed” this year and has lots of great articles in it and creative ideas.
While getting ready for my last demo meeting I needed one more M&T project. Cindy was at my house and we were trying to come up with ideas – both of us remembered this card in the Stampin’ Success magazine. And since I wanted to feature the new In-Colors at the meeting we decided this card would work perfectly for that. The card in the magazine used different colors and used Designer paper instead of the little stamped images. We let everyone choose which stamp set to use – I used Itty Bitty Bits for mine and stamped the little butterfly and punched it out. Others used Circle Circus and choose one of the images and punched those out. We had the Friendly Phrases stamp set out and I used the Petite Pairs for this card.
I also used this card as a M&T at my Open House that I had at the beginning of the month for the new catalog. And if you need to know what the new colors are – Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse.
A quick thank you to Pat for helping me with my 55 orders. Read more here. My thermometer is rising! Yeah!
Have a great day!

Jun 14, 2012 | Cards, Demonstrator |
I’m going to share some ideas today using the new Betsy’s Blossom stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! catalog. These are cards made by some of the demonstrators that came to my last PAWS downline meeting. I love having everyone join me at my house for these meetings – and while I call it a downline meeting – it is more just demonstrators in my area getting together. This last time I didn’t have any of my downline attend. But some of my sidelines were there and my “adopted” downline come – these are just demos that I have met and need some support. We have a lot of fun and have all become good friends in the process – we share our ideas both creative and business related and stamp together too. Any demonstrator that wants to travel to my home is welcome to attend – the next one will be in July after convention.
So here are the cards from some of the girls –
Linda’s swap
Anne’s Swap
Cindy’s swap
Diane’s Swap
I have more swaps to share from the meeting but all of these used the same stamp set so I thought I would share them all on the same day. I’ll share the others tomorrow.
I want to say thank you not only to some of my customers but also to some other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators that have so generously offered to place an order and help me earn my first Incentive Trip! I’m inching closer each day towards the 55 $55 orders – here is the post to learn more. Thanks so much to Eileen, Kathy, Marlene, Dodie, Judy, Yvonne, and Penny who have already placed orders with me. You can watch the thermometer rise as the orders come in – just look on the side of my blog. It was a surprise this morning when Penny called and said she wanted to help me and place an order. How sweet is she! I hope I get to meet one day – those demonstrators that are going to be at convention I’ll hopefully get to meet.
I need to get on with my day – have a great one and I’ll be back tomorrow.
