MDS Calendar Post (February)

Hope you have a fantastic FINAL day of 2009! Can you believe it - the end of another year. The end of a decade for that matter!!

Here's my MDS sample for the day. It is of my 'February' calendar layout! Evan really enjoyed making his Valentine's last year (SK)...as much as I really, really wanted him to hand-make them ( *sigh* ) he wanted to pick them out in the store, attach a treat to each one and personally fill them out. How could I argue with that?! I took these pictures the night he worked on putting them all together :o)

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a safe and happy New Year's celebration everyone!!

MDS Calendar Post (January)

I finished it! My first calendar is finished! I might tweak a few things here and there but essentially I think the basic calendar is complete.

OMGosh, the MDS (My Digital Studio) software is super amazing, super easy and super FUN to use! Thought I would share the January page today...

If you have questions about the MDS program, email me anytime! lisaburns@rogers.com

Sale-A-Bration (SAB for short) is coming...

As much as I've enjoyed the mini break I've had since just before Christmas...it's time to get focused on 2010 so this week I'm busy cleaning out my craft room (with a bit of rearranging because Santa brought me some new shelving *lol*), preparing new seasonal project samples, and organizing my January class & club schedules! January/February/March are going to be busy, busy, busy months!

In case you are new to Stampin' Up! ...
Sale-A-Bration is right around the corner!! Sale-A-Bration (SAB for short) is our BIGGEST and BEST sale of the year with a FREE gift for every $65 order placed through a demonstrator or online! There are also extra gifts for Hostesses, who host a qualifying party during these promotional months!

This year, SAB is 3 full months long! I'm so excited and will be sharing all of the FUN details with you over the next week and into January! Stay tuned!! In the meantime, if you don't already have an SU! demonstrator and you'd like to receive a copy of the SAB Mini - email me at lisaburns@rogers.com!

Be back later today with another MDS post!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Wishes!

I hope you're enjoying a very festive holiday season with family & friends! We have enjoyed some much needed R&R around here (after all of the holiday entertaining of course)! Santa did visit our home and he seemed to be right on the mark with his gift selections, according to Evan, so there were smiles all around Christmas morning!

We've also (FINALLY) received some snow! Unfortunately, it came after Christmas Eve/morning but nonetheless, it is here now - just in time for some tobogganing!!

I'm really excited to be using some of my downtime this holiday to practise using my MDS (My Digital Studio)! I've had the software for a few months now but really haven't had much free time to play around with it and learn about all the amazing features I know it has! As I learn about this fantastic new software tool, I will of course share samples via this blog.

Here's my very first MDS post... it is actually a calendar front for a gift I'm making! That's right, MDS is much more than just a 'scrapbooking program'... there are tons of fantastic crafting abilities with this software, all included in your original purchase!! I'll share more of the calendar as I complete it (with any luck, that will be before I go back to work :o)

Thanks for stopping by today! Be back tomorrow with another creative post and some updates!!

Tomorrow marks the day for my VERY LAST Holiday Class before I take a break to enjoy Christmas with my family & friends! I'm very excited to have some time off work, and in a way, from my typical SU! schedule because it will mean I get time to stamp for FUN and just play around with my new Occasions Mini supplies!!!!

It won't all be for selfish reasons of course - I will be preparing some of my January/February and March class material, and organizing for some new 2010 clubs, so come January I will have some new things to show you! But as most of you know...this kind of 'playing around' is fun :o)

For now, I'm showing you the projects for tomorrow's final Holiday class (Holiday Boxes & Bags Stamp Camp). Full class details can be found here!

Guests will learn how, and then get to make all 4 projects shown in this post!

RSVP if you'd like a last-minute spot! Have a great weekend everyone! The countdown is on...just 4 more sleeps until the big day!!

FINAL Holiday Stamp-A-Stack!

The time has come ... Saturday is my FINAL Holiday SAS! I've been holding monthly SAS's since July and I'm going to miss them for sure! They have been so much fun and have been filled by lots of different friends & family each month :o)

Today I'm sharing a sample from my last event - there are still a few spots left in case you still need to get some Holiday cards done! Email me anytime (lisaburns@rogers.com) for full class details!

We're also making this card as one of our projects at my Wellness Lunch tomorrow at work. This color combination (Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery & Real Red is one of my favorite Holiday combo's)! Here I've combined that combo with Sahara Sand.

See you tomorrow when I'll post the second card we're making at my Wellness Lunch event! Thanks for stopping by!

My Holiday Extravagenza project for today focused on the Fresh-Cut Bundle! This bundle includes the following items:

• Fresh Cuts stamp set

This would be an ideal bundle for someone who is fairly new into stamping as the cards are simple, but beautiful and they come pre-cut, pre-scored and with coordinating envelopes!! The card size is 4x4 and the flower in the center is pre-punched for you... getting the picture... very little for someone to have to do to complete these cards *lol*

This bundle would regularly cost $50.85 if ordered individually but until November 30th - you can pick up this bundle for just $35.60!!! That's a savings of $15.25!!!

Twinkle Tuesday & A challenge!

I'm sure you've given up on my Twinkle Tuesdays... yikes! Sorry about missing a weeks in late October and November!

I'll try to make it up to you by posting a few different samples today!

These projects were part of my Simply Scrappin' Kit class held this past Sunday night. If you are looking for a new club and want to learn more about these amazing kits, new techniques or just be part of a fun group that meets once a month - email me (lisaburns@rogers.com)! Check out the bottom of the post for individual pictures of all of the projects!

The other thing I wanted to mention to you was that I'm issuing a challenge... FOR MYSELF! From now until November 30th, I'm going to work to post samples of projects where I've used products that are currently on sale as part of the HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGENZA!

Why is this a challenge... well, if you're a faithful blog follower of mine, you'll know that my posts have been few & far between! I need to change that so this challenge is my motivation to ensure I spend at least 20mins a day on my computer, arranging for a new daily post!

I hope you'll consider leaving me a comment or two over the next week to let me know that my efforts are enjoyed by you... or at the very least noticed *lol* All kidding aside, I truly hope you stick with me as I work to get the balance back in life!!

I'll start my challenge tomorrow with another creative post (after Tracy's party :o)!!!

Twinkle Tuesday and My Little Monkey is 6!

I'm back...and just in time for Twinkle Tuesday! Today's card is one that I created with inspiration from SCS! I created a lot of cards in anticipation of the busy pre-Holiday season...cards that will likely find their way into at least 1 class/club or event between now and Dec 25th :o)

TODAY is a special day in our household! 6 years ago, at 320 am, Evan Marshall Burns was born at St Joseph's Hospital in beautful London Ontario! Weighing 8 pounds and measuring 21 inches in length - you were healthy and happy and the most remarkable gift I had every received! It was Thanksgiving morning and we had so much to be thankful for that day!

The weather had previously been warm - in fact, when I was admitted to the hospital on October 11th, I wore flip flops and capri's but when leaving the hospital with our new little bundle of joy, it was much like the weather today! Cooler, a bit windy with some sunshine. I remember that day like it was yesterday!

Today my little monkey is in Grade 1. He loves school and sports and his friends and his family! He has his own unique personality (that sometimes gets him into mischief) and he still snuggles with his Mommy every day! We are very proud of Evan for all of his accomplishments so far in life and can't wait to see the mark he'll make on this world in the next 6 years!

We love you very much Evan *xoxo* HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Thanks for taking a walk down memory lane with me today :o)
