MDS – My Digital Studio – perfect for marketing your Home Based Business

Take advantage of our FREE MDS month long trial to see just how you can use it to market your business. Here is one idea. This is a small vinyl cling that I created for my RemARKable Dreambuilders as a gift during our recent training in San Antonio, TX.

It is designed to fit their ipads, netbooks, computers, kindles, etc.
It is designed to catch someone’s attention.
It is designed to be a conversation starter.

Many times we find it hard to lead into our business and simple props like this can be what I call great “DOOR KNOCKERS”. We all have no problem answering the door, so when we invite others to do the “knocking’, we simply just answer! Much easier for me to answer than knock!

Take advantage of the FREE download today and I will be available for FREE training  - in person, by webinar and by skype! So now matter where you live I can support your learning and use of MDS.
All elements are My Digital Studio. These were printed through Vista print!

Big Shot Dresden Die Banner

We welcomed our new puppy Teague home last night and as a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator I couldn’t resist welcoming him with his own banner. I was inspired by RemARKable Robin Merriman (trinity designs) to use the new Big Shot Die Dresden Designs.

I know the banner won’t stay here long. As soon as we allow him to spend time unsupervised in his play area this will be removed so he is not tempted to chew on it.
But then I am sure we can find some place fun to put it.

Teague Countdown – Ready & Waiting – MDS Meets Wing Dings!

Found another new trick to utilize with MDS -Wingdings. Per Wikipedia - Wingdings are a series of dingbat fonts which render letters as a variety of symbols. An example of this is the free Animal Prints font from www.dafont.com -the letter C is actually the cute paw print on my page below.

Because the image is a font I can change the color & size as well as add a drop shadow to the image on my page.

I can’t wait to play with more wingdings – what a great FREE compliment to the graphics that are part of our MDS software and the weekly downloads you can purchase.

Stampin’ UP! Gnome Sweet Gnome – Gnomenclature

These poor fun gnomes aren’t seeming to get much play time. There are mixed reactions to them, but I love them and RemARKable Robin Merriman over at Trinity Desgins knows that and sent me an amazing present this past week. Not only a hand stamped Robin creation with her own hand written “gnomenclature” but an adorable set of Gnome Salt & Pepper shakers.
I am thinking that the gnomes may just have to travel with me and appear in photos. RemARKable Susan has a small Queen Elizabeth she travels with and the Queen has amazing photo adventures and her own travel log – we even managed to get photos of her planking and batmanning!!!. I have been looking for my own small figurine so far considering bobble heads of the following – Einstein, Polamalu and even a  German Shorthai but these gnomes may just fit the bill. I am sure that’s not what Robin expected but we will have to see.

RemARKably Created Scrap, Stamp, Craft, Digital Crop Days!

Why limit Crops to just scrapbooking?? Everyone needs a chance to escape for a few hours and to enjoy time dedicated to creatively expressing yourself in your chosen hobby – whether you love to scrapbook, paper craft, rubber stamp, or digitally create you will have more fun when you enjoy your hobby with others who “get it”, when you enjoy your hobby with no interruptions, when you enjoy your hobby within the walls of a fully stocked craft studio, when you enjoy your hobby knowing someone else is going to cook you a meal and someone else is going to clean up after you!

I hope you make plans in 2012 to attend any or all of these upcoming events. Whether you can attend for an hour, two hours, three hours or you are able to attend for the full day – you will be so refreshed when you leave that you will wonder why you don’t do this more often.

25 & Counting Christmas Tags with MDS Journals

Created Prayer journals for my small group members using My Digital Studio and our journal feature and then used 25 & counting for quick tags. Love the small images in that set and the peek a boo frames Big Shot die.

MDS – My Digital Studio Monday – Edgelit, Framelit and Embossing Folder DVD Storage

Our DVDS storage cases are perfect for our upcoming new Edgelits, framelits and embossing borders (technically textured impressions folders but their size has me calling them embossing borders).

All 3 Folders use new 2012 Mini Digital Downloads that will be available on January 4th.   In addition the same product will be available as traditional designer paper, stamps.

Those who attended my DDDR event this past weekend all received one as a gift and those in my Stamp of the Month Club will receive one each month January-February-March with their Stamp of the Month Club Purchases.  Hope you are on my mailing list and make plans now to join my Stamp of the Month Club.

FOLLOW ALONG AS WE CREATE THE FRAMELIT DVD STORAGE CASE TOGETHER in My Digital Studio…

TIP – I used magnetic sheets that Stampin’UP! has on page 216 in the Big Idea book and catalog. I tried “other brands” because I wanted to use them up and found the magnetic hold wasn’t sufficient to really grab the framelits and edgelits.

Here is what the DVD case inserts look like when they come off my printer. I print full 8.5 x 11 sheets and simply trim the right edge and bottom edge to fit the case.

GET ORGANIZED – the following DVD’s are available for SALE – cost is $9.99 each – includes DVD/Insert/Shipping/Tax.Linen Thread and Bakers twine include magnetic strip on inside left cover to keep needle handy for use in threading these thinner materials.
The above inserts will be available for sale beginning December 29th. Bookmark my site and check back.

*Indicate which DVD cases you would like in the notes section – CHOICES – LINEN THREAD, BAKERS TWINE, RHINESTONES, PEARLS, GRID, CLEANING CLOTH, SHAKER FRAMES, STITCHED FELT.

Rosette Christmas Tree

Look at this beautiful Rosette Tree and Angle that RemARKable Linda Nagle made for me.  The tree is over 15″ tall without the angel on top. Too fun!  Thank you Linda. I know that my holiday visitors yesterday loved being able to see her and the rest of my December visitors will love her as well. It’s fun to share creative talents like that. A gift like this can’t be enjoy by just one person – when you set a handmade gift like this on a table, counter it extends the gift to others.

Supplies – Wild Wasabi Cardstock, Holiday Bouquet Buttons, Whisper White Cardstock, Real Red Satin Ribbon, Circle Dies, Circle Punches, Simply Scored Tool
