Do you just love the new Beveled Windowpanes (121881) in the Occasions Mini catalog, and are wondering what you can do with them? Well wonder no more, thanks to Stampin' Up's Leadership event last week, I have some fabulous samples using these hot new toys. I posted a few yesterday too > Aren't these amazing? I'm in love with them after seeing them in action and can't wait to play. Stay tuned, I will do a video for them very soon:)

Here is some more fun from Stampin' Up!'s 2011 Leadership event in Nashville, TN last week. This first picture is of our gang, Meg Loven, Cheryl Flynn, myself, Glenda Travelstead and Leasa Williams (2007 SU Advisory Board). Below is Cheryl, BJ, Meg and Leasa at the Manager's Reception - Wildhorse Saloon. They emailed this pic to me while I was stuck at home in the snow storm...it "almost" felt like I was there, they didn't let me miss a beat. Next to that are my pride and joy, Oksana Semenska and Liz Miller. I'm so proud of you gals!!! I can't resist posting these funny horse pictures, especially the one of Cheryl's husband Casey taking a business call while leaning against Ms. Horsey hehehe.

Here are a few more very cool display samples of the brand new Occasions Mini Catalog stamp set: Take a Spin (121937 wood, 122015 clear mount) and Game Spinner Hands (121893). These display samples are from Stampin' Up!'s Annual Leadership event in NAshville this past week. Stay tuned from more samples, ideas and stories from the event.

Yeah!! I finally made it to Stampin' Up!'s annual Leadership event in Nashville, TN this past week. If you are on my mailing list, you'll know from my past mailing that I was "grounded" when my flights were canceled due to a blizzard we had in Boston. I arrived at the event a day late, but I was able to jump right in and WOW what a time it was. I'm so blessed to have been able to attend at all (even if I missed part of it). I caught right up. SU really was amazing, every event just gets better and better. I have so much to share with you and with my SU demonstrator group (note to my gals...make sure you come to the meeting on Thursday).

I am in love with the My Digital Studio Calendars! There, I've said it out loud. These are incredible, I love that I can fully customize the entire calendar, I love the professional printing quality. They are the bomb! Below is the 2011 Calendar I created for the grandparents. Here is a link to my calendar last year, including a video and step by step tutorial for how to import photobook templates into the calendar: http://stampwithtami.com/blog/2009/12/my-digital-studio-calendar-2/

The 2010 Holiday Mini catalog only runs thru January 3, and there are so many great products in it that will soon be gone! One of the awesome products featured in this catlaog is the 120902 Northern Flurry Impressions Embossing Folder for the Big Shot. It careates a flurry of delicate snowflakes to embellish any winter project and give it a WOW!

This year I designed and digitally stamped my Christmas Cards using My Digital Studio (MDS) software, I had so much fun I ended up creating a bunch of designs and had the hardest time narrowing it down to one (click here to view them >). Of course I could have printed 25 of each but I didn't want anyone to fight over them hehehe. In the end, I chose this one for the winner. I had them professionally printed through the software program, man was this super cool! To make the card extra special, I added some "shimmer" and "sparkle" by using Stampin' Up Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint #116806 & some rubbing alcohol. I put about 4 or 5 drops of shimmer paint in a spray bottle with approximately 1oz of rubbing alcohol. I cut a peice of card stock the size of the picture on the front, and placed that over the picture before spraying, this way the glittery shimmer was not over the photo. I also sprayed the inside. The photos don't do the end result justice, in person this just made an fantastic card ... completely amazing!

Having waaay too much fun designing these Holiday Photo cards designed with Stampin’ Up!’s My Digital Studio (MDS). Today is "Black & Red" and oh how different this color scheme can be. From the classy and elegant look, to the super fun "santa suit" card.
