Jar Savings (Team Meeting today)

Today at our team meeting I gave each demonstrator a jar like this to start throwing their change and money they get from workshops, classes etc in.  Next year 2013 Stampin UP will celebrate their 25th anniversary and we want to be there.  If we start saving now we will have the money to go.  I am excited that my team members want to go and participate, it is so much fun.  I had the idea to make a savings jar for them earlier and then when I saw Shelli Gardner's blog www.soshelli.com where she decorated a container for a beverage and I loved it and knew I had to copy it.  Thanks for looking.

Make and Take for today.  I love this simple card, I saw on Stampin Connection and changed my colors and message.

My Digital Studio

WOW, is all I can say, I got My Digital Studio software yesterday and have made several things already. I wanted to share with you one page from my convention scrapbook that I am working on. MDS it sooooooooooo easy to work with. I love the way it came out. On the page below I used one of the templates they have in the package and just popped in (actually click and dragged) my picture and took off a circular word stamp. How easy does it get. You are going to love it when you see it. I will share some of my projects at my Stamping Bunco party next Tuesday night. p.s. you can order the My Digital Studio October 1st. You will want to book a party with me and earn it for half price in October.

Eight Days Left.....

I have a downline meeting on Sunday that you are welcome to come to and I will be planning some training meetings for September.

Contact me for more information!!!

I have been playing with my new toys I got from convention and looking at my pictures. I wanted to share a few things with you. This first picture is of Amy Johson my up-up-up line, taken at convention when we bumped into each other. We met a few years ago in Orlando at a meeting and realized we were in the same group. Amy is a very supportive upline to all her team and I am proud to be on that team.

This is a card I made with the Charming stamp set that I won along with my charm from Shelli at convention. There are so many possibilities for using this stamp set I can't wait to play more with it.

Stamp Set: Charming; Ink: Bermuda Bay; card stock Whisper White/Bermuda Bay; Movers and shapers/punch windows Big Shot die; Whisper White grosgrain ribbon

Saturday was my husband's birthday and I bought one of those collage frames to put some pictures in from a photo shoot we did in the park in July for a supprise, I could never get the right size and it drove me crazy and I thought well I can just scrapbook this instead and put in the same frame, so I did and I think it needs some journaling but otherwise we both liked the results.

When I was working with the letters/words on the scrapbook page I made several kinds, I stamped some and cut some out from the Naturally Serif die letters from our Big Shot collection and I had all the other letters left over and thought about what to do with them. When I was organizing my stamp room I found a container that I used to use for embroidery thread that works perfectly for saving letters that you can use on other projects instead of throwing them away and starting over again. Save space and money and time.

Have a great week and stay tuned for new classes and projects.
