August Club Projects

This month I am using the Moving Forward stamp set for my Stamp Club projects, which is this year's Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set.  The Ronald McDonald House Charities help support families with children who have serious illnesses.  For each Moving Forward stamp set that is sold, Stampin' Up! donates $3 to this wonderful charity.

Take 2 Tuesday #1

I have decided that I'm going to try to be a little more consistent in creating projects and posting them on my blog.  So, I am starting Take 2 Tuesdays.  The plan is to post two projects each Tuesday using the same layout.  The projects might be cards, 3D items, scrapbook pages, etc.  I will try to rotate through traditional paper crafting and digital projects.  Today my two projects happen to be digital cards that I created using Stampin' Ups MDS2.  I hope you enjoy!

VERY Simple August Calendar

I can't believe that it is almost the middle of August!!  I realized this morning that I had not made my August background calendar yet.  So I quickly put together this simple calendar.  I created it using My Digital Studio (the original version).  I will use MDS2 (which is awesome!) for September's calendar.  I will also talk more about the new features in MDS2 in a post later this week.  So come on back, I'd enjoy having you stop by.

Stampin' Up! Convention 2012

I just got home from Stampin' Up convention.  I had so much fun!  Each year Stampin' Up has a theme song for convention.  This year's theme was "I am..." and they encouraged each of us to fill in the blank. Following is the video Stampin' Up put together for this years' theme song (it's pretty catchy):

Within the next couple of days I will post the cards I made to swap with other demonstrators at convention.  So check back and enjoy the video.
