Create With M.E.

Spring into Stamping~Awesome Annual Event

This last weekend I got to spend it with 100 of the best demonstrators I know! Demonstrators in the ImPECKable group and surrounding area groups.  We met in Central Illinois but there were demos from all over the country.  From East Coast to West. It was so much fun to be a part of it.  I feel very blessed to do what I get to do!

Here is M.E. and just a few of the gals in my downline.  We were spread all over the room and I was running around most of the time and forgot to get a grand picture of all of us. Sorry Ladies! xxoo

The day started out with a great opening from our Keynote speaker Lisa Fast from Indiana.  She was the second person in the history of Stampin' Up! to sell a million dollars!!  She shared tips on keeping your business strong even in times of having to start all over again. She has had several across state moves since joining Stampin' Up! 18 years ago. Very inspiring and I know several of the ladies are walking in her shoes right now and needed to hear what Lisa had to share.  Thank you Lisa for your inpsiration.

Then we had Make n Take projects and a demonstration fair where we could watch some new techniques and ideas.  I shared why we want to sell My Digital Studio to our customers who already own an e-cutter.  So if you have an e-cutter and want more information on why you need Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio please ask M.E.  I don't know it all but I certainly have some answers for you and if I don't I will try to find out.  Do you own an e-cutter? Click here to learn more about MDS and download a free 30 day trial.

Here I am showing some of my fellow demonstrators how invaluable the My Library app can be if you use MDS with your e-cutter or even if you don't own an e-cutter. Check out the My Library App by Stampin' Up! in your tablets App store.

Then in the afternoon after a delicious lunch we started out with some fun Stamping Olympics!  Who says Stamping can't be exercise?!

Stamp Curling...ever heard of it? Not sure it will ever make the Winter Games but we sure had fun!

Stamping Biathalon.  Even though I am a certified Shotgun instructor even I was happy to see no Wonderful Stampin' Up! stamps were harmed in this event! LOL But lots of fun was had for sure! 

Here is a just a little assortment of some of the fun projects we saw this weekend at Spring into Stamping. 

Come back to see more this week.

Enjoy!

My Digital Studio~One of my Favorite Groups of People!

 

I received this photo from my Upline this weekend.  It was taken by one of the Stampin' Up! photographers at convention. His name is Dirk and he's a real doll.  I wanted to show it to you today but thought 'you know what I am going to want to scrapbook this picture too' so in about 2 minutes I scrapped this photo of the ImPECKable Stampers group using the NEW My Digital Studio. 

I can't say enough about this program.  It's a must have!  This template was predesigned so all I had to do was drag n drop the photo, rearrange the little froggy and his lily pad, and add my own text in the predetermined box.  Is My Digital Studio all templates?  Heck NO! Although there are a lot in there to make it easy for me. But I can start from scratch too using all kinds of papers (hundreds actually!) embellishments, ribbons, Stamps you name it!  I think when I make my own scrapbook I will add a little ribbon. 

In case you were wondering where I am in the photo...I'm the one wearing the green hat!  LOL  Ok so we all have green hats, that's the reason I loved the little froggy page, because I heard more than once during my week in Salt Lake City, that we were the one's with the lilypads on our heads.  I don't think they were really intended as lily pads but when you are in a group of 3,000 to 5,000 demonstrators I could pick out one of my stampin' sisters just like that!  So eating lunch together was easy peasy even when hearding (yes we were a little like cattle) into a huge (I mean huge) warehouse type room to eat! 

Oh you really do want to know which one is me?  I am in the back row sixth from the left. Long brunette hair with cheesy smile.  But seriously how hard is it to get a group of women this big to all smile at the same time!  But we did it!!

My Digital Studio~ Fun designing my blog banner!

I am having so much FUN with MY Digital Studio.  A premier digital crafting program.  This program will be available for purchase from me on October 1st.  You might think why do I need this when I have a huge stash of paper in my craft area?  This will fill a void that paper just can't!  Consider My Digital Studio a design tool similar too, but better than, some of those photo programs you might already have on your computer.  What makes it a must have for me and I think it will for you too is that it's ALL Stampin' Up! but yet not limited to.  I can add other images but really I get the best of Stampin' Up! but in a digital format. 

Just for instance, I am currently, slowly, working on my blog and it's banner and some of the elements.  I am using My Digital Studio to create these elements.  This way I know it's ALL Stampin' Up! Which is what I am ALL about when it comes to creating!  All Stampin' Up! All the Time!  I was thinking today how much fun it's going to be that I can easily change my blog header to go with the seasons.  How much fun is that going to be.  Check out my little spider guy taking a rest on it's little Stampin' Up! button tuffet. ~wink~

I am just so excited about how great this program is I feel like I need to let you know so you don't miss out on October 1st.  Favorite my Stampin' Up! online store so you can be ready to order October 1st!  Click here!  Watch a little video about My Digital Studio to start seeing the potential
