This picture is priceless and I just had to scrap it. Nathaniel and his family surprised us by arriving home from Germany on Dec. 26th instead of January 8th lwhen we were led to believe they would be home. Our great-granddaughter who lives with her mother in Anacortes was told she and her mother were going to the airport to pick a package. She was so surprised to find out the 'package' was actually her Daddy and her sisters.

I used the designer series paper from the Holiday Wrap Digital Kit. I love this set of designer papers and felt the 'joy' theme of this particular paper was so appropriate. The digital kit includes punches to fill with designer series paper, print out and create bows. Although the title indicates they are designed for a specific holiday, the punches can be filled with any designer series paper or card stock. You now have a wealth of exclusive bows at your fingertips.It took a little fiddling and adjusting to get the bow to print out double-sided properly but it was worth the effort. I highly recommend you purchase this download!

Have you set a New Year's goal to take charge of your finances instead of them dictating to you?

Well…now is a good time to do so! You can start earning money with your own paper crafting business this month by joining my team of Stampin' Up! demonstrators. You don't have to be particularly crafty because there are lots of people willing to give you creative ideas. You don't have to have lots of money to start your business as our starter kit is just $99. You don't have to know how to hold a workshop or advertise or run a business before you start. I'll teach you what I know and direct you to additional sources of guidance. But…to earn money in this business, you do have to be able to discipline yourself to consistently work the business for whatever specific amount of time each week you choose to work and to carefully monitor your business expenses. Sale-a-bration is a good time to start your business because customers traditionally purchase more to get the free product in the Sale-a-bration brochure.

Joining my team is easy. Click here to learn more about the opportunity. Click 'Join Now" to join. You will need to have your credit card handy. Give me a call or email me if you have questions. I'm looking forward to working with you!

Until next time…blessings,

Happy New Year!

New Year card-001
Supplies: MDS2+ (130646), MDS2 (130644), MDS2 upgrade (130650), or 30-day FREE trial of MDS2 (130910); StampsOh What Fun Overlays (123568) – new year, Color = VERY VANILLA; Punches – 1.25 Square Punch, Candlelight Christmas – oval from Candlelight Christmas Ensemble (1283135), Freehand Frames – triangle from Freehand Frames Overlays Stamp Brush Set (132559) 

Happy New Year! I pray that this coming year is filled with good things and happy memories for you all and plenty of digital creating. I could not find a stamp brush set that had wine glasses in it or champagne glasses so created these by using the oval punch, a square punch for the stem and the triangle punch reshaped for the top of the goblet. Now that I think about it, I realize that champagne wouldn't be drunk from this shape goblet but you get the idea anyway. Cheers!!!

Today is also Terrific Tuesday because, even on New Year's Day, Stampin' Up! has given us new downloads. One of them is even a free calendar for our desktops! Thank you Stampin' Up! Click here to view these downloads and order the ones you like. Come back tomorrow to see what I create with the ones I order. If you haven't tried MDS yet, give it a try by ordering the free 30-day trial of MDS2. Some of the advantages to digital creating are:

  • No need for storage space for your stamps and supplies other than your computer
  • Digital downloads don't retire, wear out, get lost and rarely get damaged. If they do, you can download them again at no additional cost.
  • There is no time wasted getting out supplies and cleaning up afterwards.
  • Your photos are most likely residing on your computer already.
  • If you like the tactile sensation of handling paper and supplies, you can print out your creations and mount them on card stock. Then you can add embelishments to create a hybrid card or scrapbook page.

I love helping people get started with MDS so don't hesitate to give it a try. I am here to help with your questions.

Until next time…blessings,
