I'm back and with a clean craft room!!

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a month!  My computer crashed, but my favorite son fixed it for me.  :)  Then my oldest daughter came to town for a visit two weeks ago and I decided to clean and reorganize my craft room last week. 

I want to show you pictures of what my poor craft room looked like before...  Are you ready?

I'm actually really proud of myself because... I finished reorganizing my craft room and closet today!!  That means it only took me 4 days!!  Wow!!  I will post those pictures tomorrow, but I did create my first video featuring a look at my fabulous room.  Check it out below and let me know what you think.

On the Stampin' Up! side... I hope you enjoyed Sale-a-bration as much as I did!  I loved all those items they had for FREE!!  Now they have an amazing new line called This and That, which is following the Smash Book craze.  Check it out on my website!  I will continue to update my blog this weekend and hope to post more regularly, now that I have a newly organized craft room.  :)

Happy Spring!!

Vine Street Textured Impressions Folder Video

Apparently I've been busy!  ;)  Sorry I haven't posted in a few days... to make up for it, I'll post some videos from Stampin' Up! this week. 

This first one is using the Vine Street Textured Impressions Embossing Folder that you can get for FREE during Sale-a-bration!  Check out my website for more details.

Enjoy!

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!
