Free Digital Download!

Are you on Facebook? Please "like" the Yamstamps facebook page - there's a free video once you're a fan. Once you're there, I've posted the link to a free digital download from Stampin' Up! but it's only available until January 10th, so don't delay. There's a very brief questionnaire to complete and then you can download the Day in the Life kit. (I included the link so you could see it but please go through the facebook link to get it for free!) The kit includes a whole whack of digital designer series papers, elements and accents plus a template, and is valued at $18.50 Canadian!  I love templates - they're so easy to use - just drag & drop your photos into place. The items are available to use in My Digital Studio but there's also a version that you could use with other software (e.g. Photoshop)! Please contact me if you have questions about using My Digital Software and the elements either in MDS or other programs (I also use Photoshop).

Stampin Up Holiday Mini Catalogue Carryovers!

I know that I'd mentioned that Stampin' Up! was not going to be carrying over the Stocking Builder punch from the Holiday Mini Catalogue, just to give you a "heads up" in case you hadn't gotten this cute punch yet! Stampin' Up! has let us know that there ARE items that will be carried over, so that you can still order these items even though they don't appear in a current catalogue. 

The flyer is HERE and the list includes:

• Red Glimmer Paper
• Silver Glimmer Paper
• Holiday Stocking Bigz Die
• Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Die
• Stocking Accents Originals Die
• Cellophane Bag 1" x 8"
• Spice Cake Designer Fabric
• 1" Square Punch
• Dazzling Details
• Love Blossoms Stampin' Around wheel
• Shaker Frames
• Pewter Embossing Powder
• Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

So you can still order these items after today! If something you love from the Holiday Mini Catalogue is not on this list, you are taking your chances if you don't order it now - though some sets may appear in future Idea Books, there's no guarantee!  Place your online order now and you can also take advantage of the Clearance Rack - the online only Clearance Rack Blitz goes until January 5th!

 Happy Shopping :)  and please contact me if you have any questions!  Come back tomorrow to www.yamstamps.com, as I'm planning on posting some of my samples from my TV appearance yesterday!

Free Digital Downloads!! (and a very cool digital page, if I say so myself....)

 Stampin' Up! is celebrating Digital Scrapbooking Day by sharing the digi goodness with you! Head to MyDigitalStudio.net, complete the survey and download your four FREE items!  The free items include a digital brush stamp set, a holiday ensemble (images, accents) and templates, plus a FANTASTIC set of "tapes" in neutral colours.

 

Here is the FASTEST page ever! This is one of the free templates available as a download.  I simply downloaded it, unzipped it, and opened it in My Digital Studio.  I did a "drag and drop" of the photo, added my journalling and saved it! I just happened to have a perfect photo for this title :)

If you'd like more information about My Digital Studio, or digital scrapbooking in general, please feel free to contact me!  I acquired a neat video program a while back, so plan on sharing some videos in the near future on creating items in My Digital Studio - stay tuned!

Special for August!

Hello!  As the Stampin' Up! stamp that quotes John Lennon goes "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans".  Where has the time gone?  Sorry for that "radio silence" there.  Here in Canada, it's a long weekend YAY so I'm busy doing fun things like totally cleaning out my home office....which has been a long time coming.  Still not quite finished...but there's room to move in there now so that's progress.  My goal is to get it more or less done by this evening.  Wish me luck!!!

Anyway, thought I'd pop back in to let everyone know about the August Stampin' Up! special - buy 3 packs of Desginer Paper, get 1 for free!  This is a great way to build up your stash of decorative paper and get ready to record all the memories from the summer and the upcoming (dare I say it) school year!  Click on the link to see the flyer, and then click HERE to place your online order, or contact me directly!
