My Digital Studio - The classic scrapbook

I am so excited about the new product line that Stampin' Up! is introducing!! Stampin' Up! has gone DIGITAL!! That's right - you can now create great projects right on your computer - you can create books, calendars, movies, cards, use your imagination! My Digital Studio launches on October 1st.

The race is on!

Going back to school is like running a marathon. I get up early 5:15 to work out, be to school by 7:45, teach all day, volleyball practice till 5 PM, come home eat, write practice or get ready for a game, watch one show on TV, and go to bed. OMG! This week has been wonderful, the weather has been warm/hot and I love Seattle in the Fall.

OK, back to Stamping. This week I decided it was time to do a Christmas card. I love this time of the year, leaves falling, Halloween is coming, time to give thanks, and then Christmas which I believe it is all about family. I think I got the idea from Dawn. She is always coming out with great ideas and videos!

I am so excited

I have a party today and I am soooo excited. I love doing SU parties. It is one of my greatest joys. I love sharing my stamping and teaching others that "Homemade Card" are the best.

Today is one of those cold, rainy, gloomy days but I get to SHARE and STAMP! I am so excited that I have been doing a count down...Yes, I am addicted to stamping and creating!

Here is a card I would love to share. I got the idea from a blog and I wanted to put my own twist on it. I don't know the name of the blog but know the idea was a CASED! (Have you noticed we have a lot of incredible artists making cards?) I love how clean and fresh this card turned out!
