My Digital Studio

 

 Hello everyone,

I am so excited to share a new product with you! It is My Digital Studio - a computer program that will allow you to make cards, calendars, banners, scrap books and more from your home computer or laptop. It is fantastic and so much fun! I have been working on a scrap book of a trip my DH and I took to Maine last September. Here are a few sneak peeks of pages I have been working on:

  

My Digital Studio is featured on page 38 and 39 of our current Holiday Mini Catalog. If you have any questions regarding this program, or would like to see it in person, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to schedule time to meet with you!

Happy Stamping,

Cindy

Aren't these beautiful? I love the creativity of these cards. The color combinations and use of embellishments is wonderful. I will post a few more tomorrow! Check back...

Stampin' Up! Came to Cincinnati!

A week ago Friday, Stampin' Up! brought our Regional Seminar back to Cincinnati. This time, our CEO Shelli Gardner came. This was so exciting for all of us. We don't often get time to see her and hear her! It was a wonderful day full of great technique classes and business information. There was also time for hands on make-n-takes and fellowship with other SU demonstrators. What a great day! Here are some pictures from our day. I'll be posting pictures of our swaps and the boards which show wonderful card/scrap book page samples.

I hope you will enjoy them!

Happy Stamping - Cindy

Here I am with our CEO Shelli Gardner...she made that pin with the Big Shot (fabrics from pillows/window treatments in her studio and an antique pin of her mothers). The next photo is of Shannon West and I. She is the Training Event Facilitator for Demonstrator Developement. What truly gracious and wonderfully talented women who inspire me daily with their creativity, drive and determination to make Stampin' Up! better and beter! Side note to me...have someone tell you when your hair is doing a flippy thing and to NOT smile so BIG!! LOL

I'VE MOVED!

Hello everyone! I have been missing for a few weeks. I'm sorry if you came and did not find any updates! I have been moving from my home of 18 years to an apartment. My DH and I put our home on the market in early July. Our house sold three weeks to the day of when we listed it! We feel extremely blessed. Then...the big push was on to get moved into our apartment. I had been packing things up for several weeks before that and I'm so glad that I did! So for the time being, my Creative Corner is spread across our apartment! Things are different and are a definite challenge but I am now back on track! Wahoo!!

I have so much to share with you. So many things have been going on behind the scenes that I am anxious to pass on to you! I will start with a couple of new You-Tube videos I made with featured artist Lesa. I recently visited Lesa in her home. She agreed to allow me to video her making her absolutely adorable Punch Art Animals. I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I do. Due to the length of the videos, I am not able to load them here on my blog. Click on the links below to see them:
