I believe this hobby is about sharing ideas, and if copying my work directly helps you to develop your own inspiration, go for it, and make sure you tell folks where you got it from when they ask about it!
And yes, if you are a demonstrator, you may use my art as inspiration for your classes - again, just quote me as the source, and then copy away! You may even use my designs for swaps, again - you guessed it - quote me for the copy! :)
However, all content in this blog is copyrighted, and you may not submit my work for contests or publication and/or reprint my articles without permission.
May we all learn more from each other, and keep this hobby going by inspiring each other!!

My goodness - I don't know where to start! Last week was simply amazing, and there were SO many highlights to share with you guys! I decided that since I need to capture these puppies in my digital scrapbook anyway, I'd share some of my highlights with you using My Digital Studio - I hope you enjoy them!!
So, first and foremost, I have to share about the first morning, when I arrived. Click on the pic to enlarge it and read the text..
I am so lucky to have the boys I had. I am so proud of who they are becoming, that I decided to do a scrapbook page just on that topic! Enjoy!
The caption reads:
"Strong. Moral. Compassionate. Handsome. Courageous. Loving. Best Friends.
I am grateful for my boys. I am grateful for their spirits, and for who they are becoming. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to be mother to these two, amazing, loving, deep spirits, and I look forward to seeing them grow into the wonderful adults they will become.

Just a couple of pages for you to peruse from Leadership Convention that I put together using My Digital Scrapbook! I'm currently in Edmonton, Alberta, and now I have moved over to Lynsay Mahon's house and am staying a few days, and speaking to her downline there - I'm SO excited! (Lynsay is one of my favourite people, and her 'peeps' are pretty darned cool too!) I might have to steal some pics of her studio and projects and post them here on the sly!! :)
In the meantime, enjoy these scrapbook layouts!!
One of my favourite things about the events Stampin' Up! puts on is the awesome samples and displays of the new products. At Leadership this year, we were treated to displays showcasing all the awesome products that have been introduced over the past couple of months - I used My Digital Studio to create these scrapbook pages. SO MUCH FUN! :) (click on the photos to see a bigger version of the scrapbook pages..

I'm currently coaching in Edmonton, so I'll be a little light on blogging for the next few days - talk to you all soon!! :)
One of my FAVOURITE places at Leadership Convention is Memento Mall,
where we get to buy lots of goodies for our groups! I always go a
little crazy there and get lots of little items that I use as congrats
gifts, etc for my downline.
Here are 2 of the scrapbook pages I put together for my Memento Mall days in my Leadership Album - so much fun!!
I am LOVING this Sweet Pea designer paper in My Digital Studio! The
best part is that once you have the set of papers in My Digital Studio,
you can print them out indefinitely! YAY! Designer paper forever. :)
By the way, did you know that if you already have an image-paper
crafting program that you use, the Stampin' Up! artwork can be
downloaded to be used with it as well?!
Also, did you know that for TWO MORE WEEKS ONLY (until March 31st), when you purchase My Digital Studio, you will not only get this amazing software program, but ALSO a FREE Sale-a-bration stampset, punch or paper pack, AND 4 free monthly courses from me on how to use this program (value $80!) - I know! It's the best time to buy! If are ready to do it, click here to be taken to my online store where you can place your order and have it shipped directly to you! (in Canada only)

Then, plan to attend our optional monthly class on the first Wednesday of each month for 4 months to learn how to use this amazing product in LOTS of ways, from scrapbooking to calendar making and even multimedia presentations!
I can't wait to show you how to use this amazing product - it is truly my newest, favourite tool!
thought you'd enjoy the second half of that first layout - I adjusted everything a little bit, so when the final printed book comes, you'll have to take a look! :)
Thought I would share this scrapbook page I made about Leadership....
I'm loving My Digital Studio for this event - it is so easy to just pop in pictures, and get a scrapbook album out of it! I'll be sure to show you the album when it is finished, and share with you the pages as I go - I know you guys are looking for inspiration on your own My Digital Studio pages! :)
In the ongoing series of scrapbook pages from my Founders Circle Trip, this is page two that I created with MDS! I'll keep showcasing these, and watch for my soon-to-be released tutorials as well!
Wow, I've been playing with the scrapbook options I have with My
Digital Studio, and the first thing I have started is my HUGE scrapbook
of Founders Circle 2009! Oh yes, I mean HUGE! First off, I have more
than 200 photos to scrap of my various activities. LUCKILY, there is
an 'auto-fill' function that takes all the pictures I choose and comes
up with a suggested layout for me, which I can then mess with all I
want! (Oh yes, if you know me, I LOVE to mess with it!)
This is the front cover - I'll share my pages with you as I finish them - I'm hoping to send it off to print this week, so I can show you in person what it ends up like! I'm SO excited!
Now, if you haven't picked up this awesome paper crafting program
yet, you are going to want to get in on my Digital Studio special!
Every purchase of this Digital Software Program through me will receive
FOUR FREE MDS courses in my studio, teaching you in depth, real-timeon how to craft cards, scrapbooks, calendars and multimedia projects! That's a value of $80!!!! Order NOW on my website, or email me and I'll get it sent to you right away!
Change is good
