My Digital Studio, Stampin’ Up!’s digital papercrafting solution, just keeps getting more interesting all the time!  It was great when it came out, just the software, but then Stampin’ Up! came out with some new downloads…..and now they are coming out with new downloads frequently!!  Lately, a couple times a month!  There are even new ones in the Occasions Mini Catalog and more in the upcoming Sale-A-Bration catalog.  So you will never be bored with My Digital Studio!

Customers and demonstrators alike can join the group MyDigitalStudio.net where you can read and submit questions and answers about My Digital Studio, watch videos, view samples, and more. It’s a great resource to help you learn about My Digital Studio and to keep up-to-date.  I spent some holiday time looking around the site!

Recently Stampin’ Up! held a contest for My Digital Studio!  You can view the winners’ projects HERE.  Don’t worry!  The projects are ones you could do yourself, not over-the-top.

And here are the latest downloads!  They coordinate with products in the new Occasions Mini Catalog!

I've spent some of my holiday "off" time (does that exist?!) playing with My Digital Studio and pretty easily made this for New Year's.  It actually is a post card template so is a little wider than usual.  I added the Rhinestones and love them digitally almost as much as the real ones!

Here's to a happy, healthy and full-of-stamping New Year!!
 

Turn on the Today Show on NBC!  Shelli, founder and CEO of Stampin' Up!, is going to be on this morning for their annual toy drive!!  She's sending Tweets on Twitter if you have an account!  Shelli and her daughter Shanna are in the Green Room right now getting ready for their appearance, which says they should be on at 9:23 am…..I assume Eastern time….so if not at the time you think, try the next hour! Hard to tell what time they will do things on a show like that.  Let's hope she gets in a few more words than she was able to last year due to time. Maybe she'll get more than 10 seconds!!  And we'd really love to see her go back to do a segment on stamping sometime!

Stay tuned!  If there is a video later to post I'll put it up here!

******

At least they had Shelli on by herself, but I don't think they appreciated who they had in their midst!!  And probably Ann Curry doesn't know anything about stamping!  Here's a video I found of Shelli's appearance!

My Digital Studio is such an exciting product for digital papercrafting, but it becomes even more fun when Stampin' Up! continues to release more and more downloads, just adding to your project capabilities!  You don't have to own My Digital Studio to purchase and use these downloads.  If you already have a digital program you use, you can use these downloads in any program that supports .jpg and .png files.  Stampin' Up! also has a dedicated website for everyone to join to learn more about My Digital Studio and share projects and comments.

And of course I am happy to help you personally if you have any questions!

Who says ordering from Stampin' Up! has to be all about you??  What about people you are shopping for who don't stamp, who aren't going to stamp and who don't know what stamping is?!  What about people on your list who don't stamp but maybe could be encouraged to?  What about people who could just use some unique stuff?  It saves you a trip to the mall, and if you order enough, YOU might even benefit with your Hostess rewards!

Today is the last day of MY special of free shipping on orders $50.00 or more.  Stampin' Up! still has free shipping for online orders of $150.00 or more until Nov. 30 (tomorrow)..and the Online Spectacular until tomorrow….and discounts on Holiday Bundles until Dec. 16.  Tomorrow is also the last day for the Half-Price Starter Kit!

Today is Veterans Day and this is a card I received in a swap at Convention from Julia.  It uses the stamp sets Courage and Service & Sacrifice, plus the jumbo wheel Hero.  It is a perfect way to express our thanks to all members of the military, especially on this day.  

From History.com:  On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

If you don't have My Digital Studio for all kinds of digital papercrafting, you are missing out on all the excitement!  Stampin' Up! continues to release new downloads for your program quite frequently!  Here are the latest!  How about making your Christmas cards, photo albums, or scrapbook pages with these?!
