Sorry I've Been Gone So Long...

So I am going to attempt to be a 'better' blogger... and post at least once a week to start, and more if I challenge myself. I have been creating like crazy now that I have tidied and organized my basement a little bit. I've had the week off work due to bacterial conjunctivitis, so I have had time to spare! :)

Here are some creations I've made in the past... just to inspire you a little! :)

Just a reminder I am an INDEPENDENT DEMONSTRATOR for STAMPIN' UP, so you can order any SU supplies that you need anytime... you can also book your own WORKSHOP or GIRL'S NIGHT OUT with me (if you are in my area - London, ON). My online store can be found through my SU website, http://www.stampinup.net.com/esuite/home/cre8tewithmitz (and you can shop in your jammies). (there is also a LINK here on my blog!) You can check out any latest promotions or specials there as well! Such as SALE-A-BRATION which is on NOW until the end of MARCH... So you have some time still. If you spend $60 before taxes & s/h, you get an item free from the Sale-a-bration catalogue! There is some sweet stuff in there. You can get a FREE CD of My Digital Studio Software (there are 2 to choose from)!!

Also a note, you can TEST OUT THE WATERS with  'MY DIGITAL STUDIO' and get the EXPRESS program FREE for 30 days. If after the 30 days you decide NOT to keep it, then you will not be charged. If and of course you will decide to KEEP it, you can pay for the SOFTWARE CD, and use the program for all your printing and papercraft needs. IT IS NOT JUST FOR SCRAPBOOKING! You can make photo-books, journals, swatchbook/brag books, recipe books, cards, home decor items, banners, and MORE!!!

It is such a cool program, and it has all of STAMPIN' UP's great colour selection and matching embellishments, stamp collections and MORE!! It even can choose colours that match your pictures! :)

MY DIGITAL EXPRESS - FREE PROGRAM = ITEM #129600 on your order form!! :) If you have any questions regarding MDS, I am hoping to do an MDS WORKSHOP/CLASS soon! :) More info will be posted.

Here are some cards I created in MY DIGITAL STUDIO... it is so much fun, and so quick and easy! You can even have your items professionally printed and sent to you! (for a small fee).

Happy Craftin'...

Sorry I haven't been posting... I have been creating and crafting. I have crocheted, made cards, made 3x3 cards and a gift box, made homemade stew and more.

I will post pics of my latest 2 cards here. I tried the cool new 'embossing' trick that everyone is trying out. Makes it look like pressed flowers or something. :) I like the final look! Quick and easy too! (Just waiting for my BIG SHOT to come in, so I can play with it officially instead of my 'old' Sissix die machine.)

Be blessed and happy Cre8ting!

HAPPY MARCH -- National Craft Month!!

So I figured I would try to 'CRAFT' something at least once a day for the month of March -- whether it be a Stampin' Up project, crocheting or what... so here is a quick card I made while watching BIGGEST LOSER!

The flower stamps are from 'PRINTED PETALS' (Stampin' Up!) and the sentiment stamp is from 'THREE LITTLE WORDS' (Stampin' Up). The cardstock, patterned paper and ink is all Stampin' Up too! A mix of greens and a neutral - Wild Wasabi, Old Olive and River Rock (and Basic Black for the sentiment). The ribbon is River Rock, and the patterned paper is Old Olive.

Special Technique -- Tissue paper flowers. Punch a bunch of tissue paper flowers with SU punch, and then use paper piercing tool to poke a hole in the middle. Attach a small brad, and then fluff up each layer. Using either your re-inkers, or just rubbing it against your ink pad (as I did here) adds just a hint of colouring to the edges. Super cute I think. We made tissue flowers with my Preschool class for their frames! (I will post pics of those later.)

Hope you like it -- quick and easy.

Now... back to BIGGEST LOSER!! :)

Happy Stamping!
