2013 My Digital Studio Calendar

I have had a tradition of making and giving out calendars to my husband and in-laws every Christmas.  They kind of expect these, so this year I thought I would try a quicker way to create them.  Using a template from My Digital Studio made it so fast and easy that I even made one for my daughter, Kylie.  All three were a little different. Here are the fun pages from my husband's calendar.  Scrapbooking 2012... DONE!  ;)

Don't forget that you can download a trial version of My Digital Studio by going to my website and the shop now link. 
Oh, one more thing... I considered this a bonus!  When I ordered my calendars (during our Sale-a-bration preorder time), I even got to choose a FREE Sale-a-bration item!  Woo, hoo!  This is a great time to order your printed items...  and you can add non-My Digital Studio to your order!

Have fun shopping and creating!

Happy February!

Wow!  I can't believe it is already February!  I think January just flew by... probably with all the snow.  Stampin' Up! has a new special they are offering until the end of April, so I thought this would be the perfect time to show you what they are including in this limited time offer.

Sent With Love Stamp Set, Designer Series Paper and Digital Kit
Offer available from February 1st - April 30th only

During this limited-time offer, you can purchase the exclusive Sent with Love Stamp Set or Sent with Love Designer Series Paper - or bundle them for a special 20 percent discount, which will also include some Calypso Coral Baker's Twine!  There is even a Digital Kit available, too! Use the Sent with Love product suite to make an array of travel-themed projects! For more information and to see what the whole stamp set looks like, just click on the Sent with Love promo button on the right.  To order, just click the shop now button! In case you haven't heard, Stampin' Up! is celebrating it's 25th Anniversary this year.  They have decided to release a special stamp set each month that includes favorite stamps from years past and a brand new image!  They will only release one set a month, but you have until March 31st, 2014 to order.  :)  The theme for February is Love: The theme for January was Birthdays: While I'm at it, I might as well show you the stamp sets that are being offered as single stamps.  These are clear stamps, so you will need to purchase a clear block to use them.  Don't forget that you can purchase all of these items during Sale-a-bration and earn FREE goodies!!  (I'm ordering the set with the cute elephant next! - Patterned Occasions) Have a fantabulous weekend and I hope you find time to create something wonderful!

Step-It-Up Card using Sale-a-bration and Spring Mini Catalog Items

The roads were so bad yesterday!  I was very happy to stay home and craft the day away.  It was the perfect time to play with all my Spring Mini Catalog and Sale-a-bration items I received over Christmas.  (A little present I ordered myself from my hubby.)  I love how you can create a very simple card using the basic items on-hand (cardstock, stamps, ink and ribbon) and then step-it-up a little by adding embellishments and/or designer paper.  I found a really cute card on SplitCoastStampers by Christy Fulk.  Click here to see her sample and here to visit her blog.  Here's what I created:

Cute and Simple Bloomin' Marvelous Card
Created by Tammi Verbarendse

Cute and Really Stepped-Up Bloomin' Marvelous Card
Created by Tammi Verbarendse
(Now I added designer paper and some extra techniques, like simple distressing and the Rock-and-Roll technique on my butterfly!  I also added dimensionals to the back of the oval and the coral cardstock.)
Material: So Saffron Ink Pad and Cardstock (8 1/2" x 5 1/2"), Calypso Coral Ink Pad and Cardstock (5" x 3 3/4"), Very Vanilla Cardstock (4 3/4" x 3 1/2" plus a little scrap for the butterfly), Island Indigo Ink Pad and 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon, Bitty Butterfly and Extra-Large Oval Punches, Basic Pearls, Dimensionals, Tea for Two Designer Series Paper, Bloomin Marvelous Stamp Set

Earn a FREE set of Stampin' Up! Ink Pads in the Color Family you Choose!!

Wow!  I thought October had a great special, but check out November's promotion!

Here are the details: 
Dates: November 1 - December 16, 2012

Hostesses who hold a minimum $450 party during the promotion period will receive a FREE collection of Classic Stampin Pads-they can choose from Brights, Subtles, or Regals-a $49.95 value! Plus, the free ink is in addition to the regular hostess benefits-INK-redible!

Customer, demonstrator, workshop, and online orders from my Online Store qualify for this promotion.

• While in the past, online orders have not counted toward hostess promotions, we're excited to unveil a trial program that will allow your online customers to take advantage of our current hostess promotion with a qualifying order.
• Customers will be prompted to select their qualifying ink collection with a $450 order. They will be required to use one of the following item numbers in order to select their free ink collection.
• • 132652 Brights Classic Stampin' Pads
  • 132653 Subtles Classic Stampin' Pads
  • 132654 Regals Classic Stampin' Pads
• Note: This only applies to orders placed through an Online Store.

To get free ink, the order total must be at least $450 before tax and shipping.

This special offer isn't incremental. That means if you place a $900 order, we'll be excited for sure-but you won't get two free ink collections. But really, isn't one free collection of ink incentive enough?

Hostesses can still use their additional hostess dollars to get free products from the current annual and seasonal catalogs.  ($65 worth of your choice of items and one item at 50% off!)

You can get two free ink collections when you participate in both of our INK-redible promotions

New demonstrators who join the Stampin' Up! family during the promotion period will receive a FREE collection of Classic Stampin Pads-they can choose from Brights, Subtles, or Regals! It's INK-redible!

• Even with this great offer on the table, new demonstrators who join Stampin' Up! during the promotion period are still eligible for other programs available to new recruits, like the Extra 10% Instant Income offer on their first order, and Stampin' Start. Awesome!

More Halloween Pictures

I hope everyone enjoyed this fun holiday today!  My husband helped the kids carve their pumpkins yesterday and I helped out with Dylan's class party today.  I think it was a hit!  Phew!  Here are some great pictures of us celebrating Halloween. 

Dylan and his Transformers pumpkin that Dad helped carve.



Kaity's Grim Creeper pumpkin that she carved all by herself.

Our ghostly zombie!

I'm so scared of our zombie!!

All that muslin was for these posable mummies that the kids created at their Halloween Party today.  I got the idea from Pinterest, but tweaked it a little by using two pipe cleaners instead of wire.



Dylan holding his two zombies that he made.  He made one yesterday, so I could make sure it wouldn't take too long for the rest of his class to make! 

Sebastian's not sure what to think of Zombie Dylan...

Sebastian's still checking him out...

Happy Halloween again and don't forget to order your Christmas Bundle!  See my post below for more info!!  Today is the last day!

Happy Halloween and Last Day to get the FREE Christmas Gift w/Bundle Purchase

First off, today is the last day to take advantage of the FREE Festive Paper-Piercing Pack when you purchase the Ornament Keepsakes Set and Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Check out my website to place your order!  Hope I don't forget to order mine tonight!

I hope everyone is having a fantabulous Halloween!  I'm in charge of my son's 5th grade Halloween Party this year, so I'm just about ready to head to his school.  I've been busy all morning shredding all this muslin!  Any guesses as to why?

What is all this for?  Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts and come back later today with the answer!

Well, if you follow me on Pinterest, you may have an idea... that's my only hint.  :)

I didn't forget the Halloween goodies for my other two kids, so I'll post pics of them later, too.

Happy Halloween!!

Single Stamps and Christmas in October Special

So many flyers with fun updates on buying single stamps and a great early Christmas special.  Now I just hope I can piece them together so you can read them.  :) 

First off, Stampin' Up! is trying something new.  You can now buy certain individual sayings from three different stamp sets.  These are only available in clear, so you will need to have one of the clear blocks to use them.  Here are the ones that are available through this trial offer:

Stampin' Up! also has a great Christmas in October special.  I can't wait to order this bundle, so I can earn the free paper piercing set.

My Spooktacular Painter's Tray

My Stampin' Up! order arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to create my Spooktacular Painter's Tray project that I earned by recruiting my friend, Ralynn Berggren to my downline (again!).  I think they used My Digital Studio for the images and paper.  They sent me the Toxic Treats stamp set from the new Holiday Mini, so that is the set I used.  Enjoy!

Spooktacular Printer's Tray Project designed by Stampin' Up! and created by Tammi Verbarendse
Colors:  Basic Black, Old Olive, Basic Gray, Tangerine Tango, More Mustard, Very Vanilla & Lucky Limeade
Stamp Set:  Toxic Treats
Accessories:  Rhinestone Basics, Dimensionals, Brights Buttons (Old Olive Large), Neutrals Buttons (Basic Gray Medium), Regals Buttons (More Mustard Large and Medium), Vintage Faceted Buttons (small - I think), Very Vanilla Seam Binding, Basic Black & Basic Gray Striped Satin Ribbon, Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine

Close up of the cool spider web that was die cut out of the Silver Glimmer Paper and included in the kit.  I love the sayings that were made from My Digital Studio!

A close up of my cute kids way back in 2002!  (And my sweet husband!)  Love the rosette and fan made by folding the designer paper.  The fan is hooked to the side of the box.

Now I'm off to prep my September kits to mail out on Tuesday and to work on the October kit.  Have a great weekend!
