More Convention Boards

Here are a couple more pictures of some of the boards that were displayed at Convention.  Remember you don't have to be a demonstator to go to convention, it is for anyone who loves Stampin' Up!

Demonstrator Special

During the month of August if you sign up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator you will receive a Howl-o-ween Printer’s Tray project kit absolutely FREE—a $60 value! This exclusive kit contains the perfect elements of a spooktacular Halloween decoration!

It's Here! It's finally here!

My Digital Studio 2 has finally arrived!  It is amazing!  You can color the stamps, crop the pictures, make the text form all sorts of shapes, and really have fun with this program!  Plus you can either purchase just the program, the program + $200 worth of downloads, or the program +$500 worth of downloads, and frankly it doesn't matter whether you already have MDS!  I leave tonight to spend the weekend in Indianapolis and can't wait to take all sorts of pictures to scrap with this great program.  On August 18 I will be giving a free tutorial on the program if you are interested, bring your laptop and download the free 30 day trial.

Some Convention Boards

I dragged my mom with me to Salt Lake City two weeks ago for a fun filled week with 3,498 other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.  We had so much fun, but I think I wore her out!  :)  She brought 200 swaps with her to exchange with other demos, and with my 350 we got plenty of great card ideas!  I am so excited to share some of them with you.  They also had boards all over the gathering area with cards, 3d objects, and scrapbook pages that demos and SU! employees had made over the course of the year.  I took over 200 pictures of those!  Can you tell I am a little obsessed!?  Here are a couple of the boards for your pleasure!

Tanner's Orchard Adventure

I thought I would post another scrapbook page before I head into town for my Technique Night.  I will try to post pictures of the cards we make tonight up later.  There is nothing I like more than a visit to Tanner's Orchard in the fall.  Marty, Steven, and I met up with some of our friends and spent the afternoon there last October.  Steven even got to sit on a tractor!

Congrats Sherry Urbanc!

I sent out emails last week about my exciting promotion to manager for Stampin' Up! I have all of my loyal customers to thank for the new position. To have the title of manager you have to have at 6 active demonstrators in your downline, as well as sell over $8,000 worth of product in a 12 month time period. As my thank you for all your help I offered a lottery where one lucky winner would win the stamp set that has been on their wishlists, but never made it to their shopping cart. I am very happy to announce that Sherry Urbanc, my mother-in-law won! She will be adding Teeny Tiny Messages to her stamp shelf. Congrats Sherry!

Two More My Digital Studio Pages

When I was pregnant with Steven I promised myself I would make a scrapbook for each year of his life. I have only scrapped about 4 of my wedding pages, none of my honeymoon and we have been married for more than 5 years, so I was determined to do it differently with the baby. My Digital Studio has helped me attempt to keep up. If I have 20 minutes free I can sit down with my laptop and start a page. There is nothing to lay out, create a huge mess that I eventually have to quickly clean up. I have access to over 100 stamp sets, over 250 different types of paper, not to mention buttons, brads, ribbons, etc. All at the touch of a button. Here are a couple pages I quickly put together while Steven was napping today.

Day Off!

Steven has been begging Momo Ray for a slumber party. She took him Sunday morning and wants him till Monday night. I thought I would get so much cleaning and such done, instead I ended up watching movies, scrapbooking, and napping. There are so many different things you can do with My Digital Studio and I feel like I learn more everyday that I play with the software.

Scrapping with My New Laptop

Finally I bought a laptop and now can use My Digital Studio at home. I don't have to go to my mom's house every time I want to scrapbook! I am totally hooked on My Digital Studio. I went to an all day scrapbooking event today and instead of bringing my suitcase full of stuff and then not knowing where to start, I simply brought my laptop. You can do so much with the program! Here are a couple of my latest pages.
