Stampin' Up! 's My Digital Studio!!!!

 Stampin' Up! 's My Digital Studio Digital Scrapbooking Stampin' Up! Style
to be Released September 2009

The software can be used on both PCs and MACs.
It is for both the beginner digital scrapbooker or the advanced digital scrapbooker.
It comes with 7 predesigned layouts that you can use to make your experience quick and beautifully coordinated.

You can use all of the My Digital Studio ideas, pick and choose the ones you like or you can come up with your own design and style entirely with their many images and options

once it is all printed (from your printer or theirs)

and since it is all Stampin' Up!

you can add 3D embellishments (brads, eyelets, ribbon, hardware etc)

for that final "feely touch" that we scrapbookers love!!!

 

This program also allows you to put texture on a page,  a torn edge, change the coloring of the picture and so much more. Almost anything you do currently on your pages can be done with this program.  You can make all kinds of projects with this software. Not only can you do scrapbook pages, but you can do entire albums, calendars, cards, and just about anything else you can think of!

 

The Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio can be used for more than just scrapbooking!

 

 

 

 

 

In order to make the program even more user friendly, it already has seven different themed layouts for an entire album. You just pick the layout you want, the pictures you want, and the order you want them in and it will do everything for you! It really is scrapbooking for dummies!

 

 

Watch my blog for the release/order date coming in September!

I am so excited about this product I can hardly stand it!

Real Men Stamp!

my hubby is so funny,  this was his comment to the camera shop guy today when they were trying to fix the audio problem on our camera--  the guy was "impressed" with the video -but the sound was so funny I laugh just thinking about how it sounded!

then as we headed to the new Sam's Club (wowowo! hoooray for us)  Kay asked me a question that I pose to all of you..........

What do YOU want to see in his videos? Would you mind commenting to this post with things you want to learn about?

(we dont do copic markers sorry we are going to be using SU products in our videos) This way we are creating videos of things you are wanting to learn, interested in etc...

We have an awesome one coming up- we have to retape the entire thing tonight so please be patient, we didnt know the sound was going to have problems this week.

We are looking forward to your comments so we know how we can help you!

Kay & Gwen

 

Personal thoughts on a touchy subject

"I bought it a Michael's/Hobby Lobby/ Joanne's  with my 40% off coupon"

ALL Stampin up demonstrators get:
20% discount on every purchase (on top of any sale prices)
20% additional free goods when we place them in a hostess order
16% I also get additional overrides for sales ( I can show you how to earn it as well)
____
That is 56% in cash & merchandise is much better than a coupon for 40% off one item!
I don't have to leave home or spend gas money :) So when you tell me you are saving on one item , just remember I am saving on ALL the items I purchase! ;o)

PLUS demonstrators earn 20% on orders they collect from family and friends and receive downline overrides when they build a team. And additional 3-5%!!

Michael's, Hobby lobby or Joanne's will never pay you for bringing your friends in to shop. But Stampin Up Does!

Have a great day!

YAHOOO LOOK WHAT JUST CAME!!!!

my preorder is here!!! !!!  I LOVE being a SU Demo!!!!!

Now, off to drool over the new incolors, papers, die cut sizzlits, punch, catalog and ... oh ya- plan new projects!!!!  yayayayya

 it's a great day to be alive (sorry broke out into song! ) 

 

2010 In Colors !! WOWOWOW!

New In Colors for 2010!

Aren't these colors GORGEOUS? They are so bright and just delightful!

So what's your favorite? I haven't decided yet, but I do like Bermuda Bay and the Soft Suede. I'm sure my tastes will change each time I use them in a project!

New products will be available in these colors starting July 1st. Card Stock, Designer Series Paper will use them, Ink Pads, Ink Refills, Polka Dot Ribbon...AND MARKERS!

Yippeeee! Now you can purchase your own set of In Color Markers to match! WOOT!

Have you contacted me to pre order your new catalog yet?  I am only taking preorders at the special price of $8.00 (before shipping) until June 22nd. I will place the catalog order June 23rd and you can pick up your catalog at my home to save shipping or pay to have it mailed to you. Let me know what you want to do!  Prepayment for catalogs is due on or before June 22nd.  After that they are $10.00 each and as a hostess you will get 2 FREE in color stamp pads in your workshop order instead of a free catalog.

I can't wait to start making projects with my new incolors!

What an AWESOME day!

I am so EXCITED! I feel better today than I have in more years than I can remember! I started my bioidentical Hormone program 11 days ago (and Reliv nutrition 3 weeks ago) and I have really started to see a huge improvement in the last 3 days.

 No more wanting a nap during the day at all, lots of energy, hot flashes are not as severe or frequent,, my appetite is smaller (I hope that is a sign of good things lol) and in general I just feel FANTASTIC and I feel "happy" and enthusiastic!

I am working in the stamp room, creating items for tomorrow nights downline meeting.  I am also watering the gardens, I finshed planting the last of the bedding plants that Katie gave me for my birthday, and I have laundry going, BBQ steak in the crock pot for supper, the house is clean and so is my stamp room and I also have the house aired out just in time to shut it all up again because it has gotten so hot outside I had to turn on the air!

I will be back this after noon with a couple project photos,  I PROMISE.  They are just not quite ready for a photo yet!

I hope your day is as wonderful as mine.

UPDATE UPDATE--- Kasey and the Choir left today for New York and Carnegie Hall!! Their performance is Monday the 25th. I have a photo of him by the bus on my phone will add that after Kay is home so he can show me how lol-  have not made time to learn that.

hmmmm  7 days just my husband and I..... I wonder what we will do?
