Birthday Card for my friend...

My friend, Ruthie, had a birthday March 30. She and some friends came over the mountain for my scrapbook class Saturday, so, I gave her the gifts and card I had for her.

I am very happy with the way this turned out.

I LOVE the stamp set, Apothecary Art #125527. It goes GREAT with Framelit Dies #125598, for the Big Shot # 113439! I played with my Stampin' Up! markers and colored the image in. I was intimadated by that image, but, it is actually very easy to fill in with color, takes very little time to have a beautiful creation! I LOVE the pleated ribbon #125406, too! It really dressed the card up.

I ran the Wisteria Wonder Cardstock #122922 through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder #120175---I also ran the flap of the envelope through, what an impressive way to dress up the envelope! I destressed all edges of everything with Soft Suede ink #115657, my destress color of choice! I finished it off with a few rhinestones on the image, which was popped up with dimensionals. LOVE this card! I didn't get a picture of the inside before I gave it to her, though, RATS!

Leave me a comment if you liked this card! I'd love to hear from you.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my BIG SHOT!!!

Thanks for your visit!

Where's your blender??

Your blender pen, silly! I CASE'd these cards from the Stampin' Connection website, for Stampin' Up! demos only (can you imagine--we have over 220,000 projects to look at on there! So many perks to being a part of the Stampin' UP family!!! I LOVE IT!

Anyway, I used the new Apothecary Art stamp set #125525....stamped with black staz-on, so, we could use our markers and blender pens. Then, I used my BIG SHOT *LOVE IT* to cut the flower image out with the new Labels Collection Framelit dies #125598. Then, we used the marker/blender technique to 'color'. All the ladies at the class commented on how fun the coloring part of that card was. I guess we are all young at heart!

The sentiments are from the Loving Thoughts set #125843. And, of course, the designer series paper is the FREE SALE-A-BRATION paper! I did use the Naturals paper for these cards, it seems to have a nice body and feel to it, and, it's also good to use with 'wet' markers, etc. kinda like watercolor paper.

You can find all of these items for sale at my webstore *click under the header*.

Check out this link for an informational video.

Here's a bit more information on it, from the Stampin' Up Home office.

Sounds like you all are super excited about the My Digital Studio Express Free Trial! I've gotten so many questions, I've copied the Q&A from myDigitalStudio.net here so y'all can see. :)


Q: How long can we take advantage of the My Digital Studio Express trial?

A: This is an ongoing offer. We want all our customers to be able to try My Digital Studio.



Q: What digital content comes with the My Digital Studio Express Trial?

A: My Digital Studio Express includes one stamp brush set, 12 Designer Series Paper patterns, 81 embellishments, 26 punches, and 5 designer templates. You can view a list of the included content here.



Q: What’s the difference between My Digital Studio and My Digital Studio Express?

A: My Digital Studio Express is My Digital Studio software that you can download directly to your computer without having to wait for discs to be shipped to you. The program functionality is exactly the same as the disc version of the software with less digital content. (To see what content is included in My Digital Studio Express, click here.) You can watch a quick video explaining the difference between My Digital Studio and My Digital Studio Express here.



Q: Do I have to have access to the Internet to use the trial?

A: Yes. You need access to the Internet both to place your order and to download the program.



Q: Can I get the My Digital Studio Express Trial on a disc?

A: No. The My Digital Studio Express Trial is only available as a download over the Internet. However, the file is not large, so even if you have a dial-up internet connection, you will still be able to download the program.



Q: What are the system requirements to use My Digital Studio?

A: You can see the system requirements for My Digital Studio here.



Q: How do I order the My Digital Studio Express Trial?

A: You can order My Digital Studio Express through your demonstrator’s online store or stampinup.com. You can order the free trial by itself, or you can add it to an order with stamping supplies or digital downloads. If the My Digital Studio Express Trial is the only item you order, you will not be asked for any credit card or payment information. If you are a new customer, you will need to create an account.



Q: How do I install the My Digital Studio Express Trial software after I have ordered it?

A: You can access your My Digital Studio Express Trial download through the Downloads section of your account. Make sure you select Mac or Windows, and the download and install wizards will walk you through the rest of the process.





Q: Is the trial version of the software different from the paid version of My Digital Studio Express?

A: No. When you order the My Digital Studio Express Trial, you will receive the full version of My Digital Studio Express. The software will function exactly the same as if you had purchased the software--you can design, purchase downloads, and print. The only difference is that you can only use the trial version for 30 days.



Q: Can I place a print order with the trial version?

A: Yes. You have full access to everything you can do in My Digital Studio for a full 30 days. This includes full designing functionality, printing, and the ability to purchase downloads.



Q: Do my 30 days start as soon as I download My Digital Studio?

A: Your 30 day trial period starts as soon as you launch the program. It does not matter when you download the program, your 30 days will start as soon as you actually launch (open) the program.



Q: Will the trial still last 30 days even if I order it in the middle or end of the month?

A: You can order the My Digital Studio Trial at any time. The trial period is not tied to the calendar. The trial period will begin as soon as you launch the program, and you will be able to use it for the next 30 days.



Q: What happens after the 30 day trial period is over?

A: When you launch the software after the 30 day trial period is over, you will be prompted to enter a product key. You will not be able to use the software again until you have entered a product key. You can get a product key by purchasing My Digital Studio or My Digital Studio Express.



Q: How do I purchase My Digital Studio after the trial period is over?

A: Simply add My Digital Studio (item 118108) or My Digital Studio Express (item 124483) to your next order. If you order My Digital Studio Express, you will not need to reinstall the software. A product key will be e-mailed to you; after you complete your purchase, just enter that product key when the program prompts you to. If you purchase the disc version of My Digital Studio, you will need to use the installation discs in order to access the included digital content. The installation wizard will walk you through the process, including entering the product key (which you’ll receive with your shipped discs). You will not lose any downloads or projects from your 30-day trial period.



Q: What happens to digital downloads I purchase during the 30 day trial period?

A: You will have continued access to any downloads you purchase during the trial period. If you choose to purchase the software, you will simply need to enter a product key, and you will be able to use all your downloads like normal. If you do not purchase the software, you will still have access to your downloads through your download manager, and you will be able to load them to the digital design software of your choice.



Q: Can I use My Digital Studio digital downloads in other design programs?

A: Yes. The My Digital Studio digital downloads will work with any digital design program.



Q: Will my saved projects be lost when the free trial ends?

A: You will not be able to edit any of your projects through My Digital Studio after the trial period has ended unless you purchase the software. If you do chose to purchase the software, you will be able to access all your projects. If you don’t choose to purchase the software, we recommend you save your projects as jpg files. You will then be able to use them like you use any of your jpg (picture) files.



Q: Can I have two free trials?

A: No. The My Digital Studio Express Trial will only work once. After your 30 days are over, you need to purchase the software to continue using the program.



Q: What if I don’t want to purchase the software at the end of the trial period?

A: You can uninstall the software at any time.



Q: Are there other free My Digital Studio downloads available?

A: We do occasionally offer free My Digital Studio downloads. These are generally promotions that run for a short amount of time, and will be announced in a current update. Download some of our free digital downloads for the 2010 In Color Card Stock and Designer Series Papers. You can find links to those downloads here.

Home Again, Home Again....Jiggity Jig!

Whew! Jennifer and I got home about 3 this afternoon, Sunday! WOWSER!!!


We left Springerville around noon on Monday, for the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference/Regional Meeting, San Antonio, Texas. We stayed at her relatives BEST WESTERN LEGACY SUITES, in Mesa. Tuesday morning, we left the hotel at 6, and, drove to her parents house, where I left my van, and, her dad took us to the airport. We arrived in San Antonio Tuesday about noon.

What a trip! I think we walked 100 miles the first 2 days, seeing the sites of San Antonio, The Alamo, 3 BEAUTIFUL Catholic churches (where we were RIGHT in front of two of them at noontime, when they rang the bells), downtown walk, an informative bus ride, River Walk Mall, San Antonios WAX MUSEUM, and of course RIVER WALK and the River Walk Boat tour.

.....including a {fun? maybe not} night time walk trying to get back to the motel after supper, pretty much sucks when you take a WRONG turn *JENNIFER!!! LOL*

O M G!!!! We finally caved and took the YELLOW BUS to the hotel...it was getting kinda scary...finally got to the motel, safe and sound, about 9:30.

We paid for all that walking BIG TIME, the next 2 days....I AM an old lady, and felt like it....Jennifer felt like an OLD LADY, too!!! We were shocked when we got up Saturday and could actually stand up straight and WALK almost painfree! ROLFMAO! Advil was a GOOD Friend for several days!

OH.MY.GOSH!!!

We learned A.L.O.T and hit CUTE OVERLOAD by Thursday!!! SO MANY CUTE ideas and samples people showed and shared!!!!

Jennifer got her picture taken with Shellie Gardner, the owner of Stampin’ Up! ---more like I shoved dumbstruck Jennifer next to Shellie for the picture opportunity! ROFL--I was too shy for that, but, I did give kudos to Shellie for the awesome job she has done bringing all these women together with a common bond of giving happiness to others, as well as ourselves, through the ‘magic’ of the great company she created!

We learned about new changes with the catalogs, a new product “Simply Scored Insert” for the Simply Scored Scoring tool, available March 1----YAY!-----now, we can make any size envelope or other project using diagonal scoring, new programs that will be implemented and other business information. We saw great skits, and informational talks: including a salsa dance performed by one of the Home Office personnel and an Idaho demonstrator. We watched MANY on-stage product and project demonstrations. We did lots of fun, new Make n Takes to show everyone at home how to do. We were told about products that are ‘going away’. We met LOTS of people from all over USA and Canada...we didn’t actually meet anyone from Mexico this trip. We saw lots of ‘famous’ people from BLOGLAND. We ate on the River Walk, with ducks, pigeons and sparrows as our dining mates, including one hungry duck that pecked me on the butt! We were WELL fed 3 great lunches *including cheesecake for lunch dessert!!!* We were gifted with tons of freebies---paper, stamps, embellishments AND CHOCOLATE! We got our Leadership Bag AND then, we were gifted with a matching purse portfolio----both made out some NEW, upcoming fabric! We swapped, and saw tons of cute ideas that all the demonstrators were wearing, carrying, swapping or just giving away!

OMG!!! It was an AWESOME experience! I am so proud of myself for keeping up with Jennifer! LOL, even getting up in the mornings when I was supposed to! hehehe We only had about a 10 minute walk to the conference center each morning, and, the weather was great, except for Thursday, when it was foggy for most of the day, so, all in all everything went very well!

We were up and out of the room at 6:15 a.m., and in AZ by 9:45 a.m., Arizona time, where her dad was there to pick us up again.

We also found out that Stampin’ Up! is having it’s first Spring Regional, of 2012, in Phoenix on February 11! WHEW!!!! Here we go again!!! So excited!

I have to share something that happened to me, while I was in San Antonio.....
Some of you know that I sold House of Lloyd/Christmas Around the World for 16 years, until it was ‘killed’ in 2002....that was a hard thing to go through.
I held on to the love of that company/experience all these years, thinking NOTHING could ever replace that for me or come close to the hostess and demonstrator programs.
Well, not that Stampin’ Up! could ever replace my feelings for my time with HOL/CATW, but, I feel like
I FELL IN LOVE with Stampin’ UP! After 5 years of signing up with Stampin’ Up!.....


Stampin’ Up! has made MANY changes that really benefit being a Demonstrator for them, as well as being a Hostess of a Stampin Up! party/workshop.


I believe they REALLY ARE a GREAT Company!
I am finally HAPPY with where I am at!!! What a great feeling!

And, a SPECIAL THANK YOU to Jennifer, for making this trip such a fun, memorable event in my life!

Now, I am offering you the Stampin' Up! opportunity....
