I know it's been quite awhile since I posted on my blog. Life sure goes fast. I'm settling into my new job, which there is NEVER enough time at work to get everything done that needs to be done there. I've also survived my first two holidays being divorced. Thanksgiving was hard, but Christmas was better.
I spent all day yesterday stamping while two of my friends scrapbooked. I had a wonderful day just stamping, without the pressure of "having to come up with great ideas" for a workshop and guess what....I have some GREAT cards for upcoming workshops.
Tomorrow, I leave for the weekend with a group of girls to go "crafting" all weekend. Of course, I'll be stamping. I've been "blurfing" all night to get inspiration for my weekend of stamping. I'm hoping to be able to post some pictures after the weekend, so check back soon.
Hope you have a great 2010!
Kris

My Digital Studio
I have been playing with SU!'s new My Digital Studio. This program is AWESOME! I can't believe how easy it is to create cards, calendars, and scrapbook pages, videos, slide shows, etc. It is amazing how much a person can do with My digital studio. Here are a few of the cards that I've created this week:
This last card was "CASED" from one that I received at a swap. (I apologize to the creator, I cannot find the original card to give you credit, if it is yours let me know and I will give you credit here).
If you would like to order My Digital Studio (MDS) or would like to "play" with it, please contact me today. Hostesses who host a part of $400 or more in the month of November have the opportunity to get MDS for 50% off!

Monthly Card Club
My monthly card club started again in September. Card club members receive extra benefits for their parties which include: everyone makes 4 projects, monthly "club member" specials, guaranteed a minimum of a level 1 hostess set and $15 in free products. Here are the cards we made in September:
See Oct 4th post for directions on how to make this card.
This card uses the Autumn Days stamp set (IBC p. 92); chocolate chip, old olive, dusty durango, crushed curry, and soft suede. To get the 2 pheasants the masking technique was used.
This card uses the new treat cups in the holiday mini. It also uses the sweet centers stamp set. The card was stamped using versamark ink then embossed using black embossing powder.
This card was made using more mustard, always artichoke, soft suede, and rose red. Images © 1990–2009 Stampin’ Up!

I'm back
Hi everyone-
Sorry it's been so long since I posted on my blog. Things have been absolutely crazy in my personal life. My recommendation to people would to NOT switch jobs in the middle of a divorce if it can be helped. YIKES! As one of my friends said, "have you looked at the life stressor index? Why don't you just move and get that in this year, too?" But instead, I'm going to refinance my house and finish remodelling it! That means that I need to move my stamping room!! I'm not looking forward to that. Right now, I'm supposed to be packing it up into boxes. But the thought of that is very painful. I'm thinking I might put everything right in my living room instead of packing it away! Because of course, if I pack something away thinking I don't absolutely need that, I'm going to want it for my next creation.
Speaking of creations, I do have a few cards to share. My up, up, up line-Patsy Waggoner, has challenged her downline to a STRIVE challenge. September's challenge was to create 5 cards using the same set. So here are my 5 cards using circle circus:
This card used the Stampin' Pastels and sponge daubers to apply color to whisper white card stock. I then used a straight edge and the chalk eraser (included in the stampin' pastels) to create the lines. Colors used were: Tempting Turquoise, Lovely Lilac, and Orchid Opulance.
This card uses the z fold and is created using rich razzleberry, crushed curry, old olive, and soft suede.
This card is created using old olive. I left the modern tag blank to add a sentiment so that I could add it later, depending on the need I had. TIP: Stamp a card that can be used for any purpose and don't add the sentiment. That way when you need a card, you have a blank one that you just add the sentiment and your ready to go.
This card is created using melon mambo, crushed curry, and brilliant blue.
This card is created using certainly celery, brocade blue, rose red, and summer sun. A piece of vellum was attached using snail adhesive under the certainly celery ribbon. The sentiment was stamped on the vellum.

I'm Back From Convention!
Here is a picture of the swaps I made for convention. A great big thanks goes out to my good friend Tammie. Tammie, Trista (Tammie's daughter), my daughters (Megan, Morgan, and Maren), and I did the majority of my 100+ swaps in 2 1/2 hours. All I had left was to punch out and attach the butterflies! Convention was AWESOME! Can you image 3000+ people who are passionate about stamping and SU! products in one place? On our arrival day, we made our way to the convention center where we were able to pick up our "convention bags". These bags contained 4 stamp sets, a wheel, SU! pen, and SU! pin, as well as all the other convention info we needed. I brought my 100+ swaps and the craziness began. I swapped all of my cards that first day. Many people do some each day, but I decided I wanted to be done swapping on the first day so I could enjoy all the other convention activities.
Of course there were many announcements about upcoming products....Do you want to know what they are? Well, maybe I
could let out a secret...or two....or three.....I don't know which I'm most excited about: My Digital Studio, Build-A-Bear stamps and die cuts, or the Simply Adorned Charms. Of course I was able to see all of these products first hand at convention. Build-A-Bear and Simply Adorned Charms will be available September 1st. The release date of My Digital Studio will be coming soon. If you want to see these products and share them with your friends, contact me today to set up an in home show for you and your friends.

Another card from last weeks stamping marathon
Where did the week go??? It's been a hectic week around here. SU! convention and the county fair in the same week, means the 4-H projects need to be done EARLY because mom can't handle getting ready for a trip and last minute projects! So, even though I've been in my stamp room, it's been to help my 8 year old do her first scrapbook. Let me tell you, it was hard to sit on my hands and let her do her own thing, but I'll post some pictures and you'll be able to see that it's her work...But in the meantime, I came across this picture of when looking for the one of my convention swap and thought I'd post it.
