Welcome Christmas...

Can you believe Christmas is less than 9 weeks away!  I know, neither can I!!!  To get me into more of a Christmas mood, I decided to create a Christmas card with My Digital Studio.  As part of the My Digital Studio Certification course I'm taking, one of the requirements was to create and print a digital card.  SO, I thought why not make it Christmas!

This is the front of the card:

This is the inside of the card.  I love being able to add embellishments to the inside with no extra bulk.  I've also included the small sentiment from the Sweet Season stamp set (I never know what to write inside a card!).  ;)  

 

Happy Stamping!

At the Pumpkin Patch

A couple of days ago I decided to venture out with all three kids to pick out pumpkins at a local Farmers Market near our home.  We weren't there long, but the boys definitely enjoyed choosing their very own pumpkins.  They were so excited to be allowed to hold their pumpkins on the drive home and even insisted we stop at daddy's office to show him their finds before heading home. ;)

I brought my camera along to capture a few memories with the intention to scrapbook them of course!!!  As soon as I got home, I downloaded the pics, opened up My Digital Studio and immediately started on a page.  I decided to keep it simple and used a layout already designed and included with the software.  All I had to do was add my choice of papers, stamps, embellishments and of course my pictures!  In less than an hour, I had my basic page finished.  You can click on the picture for a larger view.

Check out the background paper - it's one of the pictures!  One of the options in My Digital Studio is to add a custom background.  I used one of my photos, cropped it a bit and changed the opacity to make it a little more translucent. Love it!  Even my husband was impressed!

If you're interested in learning more about this amazing new digital software, watch for upcoming details on a free information and demonstration evening I'll be offering in November!

Happy Stamping!

Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack

ETA:  I've FINALLY posted the three card options available for my upcoming Stamp-a-Stack!  See below.

They're back!  Once again I'm offering my annual Christmas Cards Stamp-a-Stack.  Rather than purchase and send out the same mass-produced cards everyone else is sending out, come and get a head start on your own personalized cards!  Your friends and family will love receiving these mini masterpieces in their mailboxes.

You will have the opportunity to stamp twelve embellished Christmas cards for only $25.  I am offering three different designs to choose from and you can choose as many or as few of each design you'd like for a total of 12 cards.

Because I will need to preorder, cut & package all project materials, registration is non refundable and is required by October 25th to secure your spot.  If you are unable to attend after registering, you will still receive your precut card materials which you will be able to assemble at home.  Please note that stamp-a-stack card kits brought home will not include any stamped images.

Option 1:  Soft Snowflakes  (Colors:  Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Mellow Moss & Whisper White)

Option 2:  Traditional Trees  (Colors:  Old Olive, Real Red, Whisper White)

This card is a modified version of the gate fold card with panels opening to the right and to the left to display the center back panel.

 

Option 3:  Vintage Postcard  (Colors:  Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla)

This card will use our Chocolate Chip striped ribbon - the red striped ribbon on this card example has been retired and is no longer available.

To attend this stamp-a-stack, please send me your card choice selections (must be a total of 12 cards) along with payment by October 25th to reserve your spot.  You are more than welcome to purchase more than one stamp-a-stack kit.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

NEW! Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack

New Clearance Rack in my Online Store 

Overview:

Stampin' Up! is launching a  new section of the online store called the Clearance Rack. The purpose of the Clearance Rack is to clear out the inventory of surplus items that have been retired. Many of these retired items will be offered at a substantially reduced price.

Details:

• The clearance rack is not a promotion. It will launch September 29, 2009 but does not have a set end date.
• All products in the Clearance Rack section are retired, discontinued items. No current products will be sold in the Clearance Rack.
• Clearance Rack items are only available while supplies last. Items will be removed and new items will be posted depending on inventory levels. There is no set time for availability.
• Clearance Rack items will be listed and pictured only in my online store.
• All sales of Clearance Rack items are final. No returns or exchanges will be accepted, except in the case of defective product.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: Why does the order have to be placed online?
A: Because the products are only available while supplies last, it is very possible that that item will be sold out before I would have the opportunity to place the order for you. By ordering online, you will know immediately if the product is still available or not.

Q: Is the Clearance Rack a promotion?
A: The Clearance Rack is not a promotion and has no end date.  The intent is for the Clearance Rack to be a permanent part of my online store.

Q: How often will the Clearance Rack be updated with new items?
A: There is no set schedule. Clearance Rack items will be posted and removed based on inventory levels. Because there is no schedule, you will want to check back regularly for new postings.

Q: If you run out of a certain item, will you restock your inventory and post it for sale again?
A: No. Clearance Rack items are retired, discontinued items and are only available while supplies last.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Happy Stamping!!!
