MDS2-Lego Birthday Card

Here's the Lego birthday card I made for my nephew using the FREE MDS2 download.  This was my first successful attempt at actually printing out the cards I have made using digital.   Like I said in an earlier post, I have the original MDS but never figured it out until a few days ago after the presentation at Regionals.   The tutorials help too.  I'm still a stampin' gal and like to get my hands dirty and glitter everywhere but this program will be especially useful when I put my daycare/ preschool albums together.  Thanks for Looking and Enjoy... Happy Stampin :)

My Digital Studio

I've been "playing" with MDS2.  I was able to download Stampin' Up!'s new digital content for FREE and I have it to use for 30 days. (with NO commitment) After the last few days,  I'm pretty sure I will be purchasing the new content sooner than later.

The reason I am so excited, is that I thought going "digital" was OK ( I do have the original MDS and have used it on the computer but not done anything with what I have created) until the presentation at Regionals. We, ( everyone there) got a short but very educational presentation and view of what the new MDS2 can do.  So,I actually sat down and watched  tutorials on the " how tos"  to help me make sense of what I couldn't figure out by myself then applied it to my projects. Within minutes, I had an awesome Lego card for my nephew along with some subway art I saw on Pinterest.

Be on the look out, I will be posting some things I have created with MDS2 over the next couple of days!  Happy Stamping!!! even if your computer helps :)

More 3D Art

Here are two card boxes full of cards.  It was so AWESOME to see so many ideas at regionals and then to be part of such a wonderful swap made it more exciting. I did kind of feel bad about just having my animal purses for the swap. ( I forgot to fill them with treats). Lesson learned and I will be more prepared if I get to attend convention or another regionals. I will have more than 50 cards to exchange and participate in more organized swaps.


3D exchange Art I received



Here is another wonderful gift I received during the 3D swap at lunch.  I've always thought about making my own tile decor but never knew how or what to do and was too afraid to just jump in and get it done.  This Christmas tile decor inspires me to TRY this technique soon.  

Here's a cute little embossed kraft boxed filled with stamped shortbread cookies and a little mummy. Simply adorable and another great idea for a teacher gift or for a child's party.

Denver Regionals!!!

Oh my what a wonderful day  I had at Denver Regionals!!!!!   I almost didn't make it today because I wasn't feeling well last night. After going to bed REAL early and getting up @ 6 am to be out the door on time I met so many WONDERFUL people including Shelli Garner (CEO and CO Founder of SU) and of course Sherril from Late Nite Stampers.   This was my FIRST time to ever attend a Stampin' Up! Regional event and it was unbelievable.  We ( the 400 'friends') there had the opportunity to learn new techniques, business info, win PRize Partrol PRIZES, and had lots of fun.  The make-n-takes and card exchanges were the best.   I will be posting my favorite SWAPS and WOWS that I received and pictures frpm Regionals over the next couple days!   Happy Stamping!!!

Happy Fall Ya'll


Here's a cute little card I made after working on some Halloween Birthday Invitations for my Dazzlin' Kraftin' Diva and Downline- Yadi. ( Pictures of the Invite will come after they are complete.) It got me into a Fall Mood so I've been in a crafty mode. I was also planning to use this card in my fall banner for my preschool.

I should be getting ready for Denver Regionals tomorrow, as my reindeer purses are still missing eyes and noses, which I'm hoping to finish tonight.
