More Info on "The Basic"

I have put a post out about the new online class you can purchase from Stampin' Up! on the Basic!  Since then there have been a few questions... Here's what I've found out


Q: Why would someone pay for our Online Class when there are so many technique videos available for free on websites such as You Tube?

A: This online class is much more than a card idea or a technique video. The 34 projects are simple, creative, and cute! The material included is a great resource that gives comprehensive project details in one place. No searching all over the Internet for all of the different topics being covered.
This class is being offered as a product (item 133385) $14.95
 It is an exceptional value and gives you an opportunity to be creative-and you can participate at their own pace.
Q: Are supplies included or purchased separately? 

A: Supplies are not included. Supply lists are included on the PDFs with each project. Since this class is a download, there is no shipping costs associated with this purchase. However, if other Stampin' Up! products are added to the order, shipping costs will be incurred.
Q: How will I "receive" the class? Is it mailed to me?
A: Once the class is purchased, you will log into their online account and access the download the same way they would when ordering a digital download for My Digital Studio. The difference is that the file will be a PDF and will open in their default PDF reader rather than MDS.

PC Instructions:
 The files will be downloaded as archive files that you can then extract and save on your computer. When you click on the download link, an extraction program will automatically launch. Choose the location where you would like to save the files (be sure to note where you save them). Follow the prompts on the extraction program, and then navigate to the location where you saved the files. Click on the file and open.
Mac Instructions: 
When you click on the download link, the file will be mounted as a drive. Once it is mounted, open the drive and drag and drop the files to the location of your choice on your hard drive. The files can then be opened.

Queen for a Day!

 Last Saturday we had our Team Camp Share here at the house.  Each team member received this decorated tin bucket!  The stamp set YOU RULE on page 8 of the Spring Catalog was the start of my theme.  Inside the bucket was Stampin' Up! product!  incorporated the  Paper Doilies, which I sponged with ink.  Also the new honkin Rhinestones!  This one is Basic Gray stamped on Pink Pirouette Card Stock.
 This  one I added some Dazzeling Diamonds Glitter 
Another gift each one received was this swatch book of our Textured embossing folders that you use in the Big Shot.  This way at a glance you can see and feel the texture.  Easy to add on new ones as they come out.

Recover Rapidly!

Can you see the Band aid tag on the side.  I saw this some where and tried to find the person who originally did it but no luck.  Mine is a bit different.

How cute would these be on the hospital trays!  Filled with M&M's in one of those cups they give you to take your PILLS.
 The cross started out as a square that I punched with our square punch #119877 on page 183 of the Stampin' Up Catalog  and then punched out the corners!
 The Petite Purse Bigz L die #125606 Found on page 194 of the Stampin' Up! Catalog is what is used to make the purse.
  Recover Rapidly and band aid is from the Patterned Occasions Stamp set that you can earn Free durning Sale-a-bration

Founder's Circle 2012 - Stampin' Up!

Last September I was honor again to attend the Founder's Circle Trip.  This trip is awarded to the top 100 demonstrators.  The Trip is a 4 day retreat and we are pampered like queens.  I want to Thank all my Customers and fellow team Demos who helped me achieve this fun trip.  Enjoy a couple of minutes of the fun we had.

Love what I do

Yesterday I emerged to my stamp room to realize that I had made such a mess from designing for my February classes that I could not even thing to cut the card stock.  SO  I started Cleaning!  I found these chipboard hearts and stopped midway (which is why my room always looks like it does) to decorate them and make a banner.  I use d the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper #129309 To cover the Chip Board.  The back side is covered with coordinating colors Primrose Petals and Pool party. Thought I'd Share what sparked my inspiration to go on and clean my stamp room.  I love what I do.

I am not a neat stamper

 I have loved the card on page7 of the Spring Catalog since the first time I looked at it.  Simple YES  But I did have to use my Stamp -a-ma-gig to get everything just where I wanted it.  Mine is a bit different but did use the cute Clips on page 28 as they did.  I sending it to a special friend.  As you can see below  I am not a neat stamper.  In fact I have to fight for room to stamp cause I'm so messy.
Thanks for looking and hope you have this set "Amazing Family" on your list.  It is so fun!  This set is great for scrapbooking too!
