There is more to General Session, Brent Steele presented My Digital Studio.  He geared his conversation to the men in the theater.  Most demonstrators are women but the husbands accompanied them to general session and were there too! I was surprised of all the men who use My Digital Studio.  Brent had them raise their hands and hello!  there are many of you out there!

Brent went on stage with his baseball cap and Cheetos, red bull and made sure to express his "manly" habits to the men in the theater.

He presented two projects he had created for his son:  A frame and a 8×8 scrapbook album.  What is so awesome about My digital Studio is that he was able to do the same album twice. How? by changing the pictures only and keeping the digital layout he had created initially.  How smart is that?  So both of his sons have their own football album. You must have children in multiple sports!  My digital studio is a great way to create these albums in a flash and would also make a awesome gift for Father’s Day.

Brent used the latest digital downloads available. These files are not available with the initial digital program but are available for a small extra fee:

 I am so excited that September is here!!!  Why? because I’m happy to present you with the best mini catalogue ever….Stampin’up has made me very proud to be part of their family.  If you haven’t received one from me, stop by my studio or view it here.

Here are a few  Highlights: 

p.6-7 they have gorgeous new Sweet Treat Cups and Sweet Centers stamp set.  Best of all they coordinate with the 1 3/4" punch.  Do you want to hand out the cuttest treats for Halloween?  You can fill the cups with candies, spiders (what ever your imagination desires)  The cups are only $3.95 for 12 … what a great deal!

on p. 12-13 it’ s fall extravaganza!  Autumn Splendor  coordinates to perfection with Autumn Meadows designer series paper.  And the Big Shot Dies  Table Setting will have your home decorated with elegance for thanksgiving! You can view one of my sample cards here.

p. 20-21 Stampinup textured Impressions folder Petals-A-Plenty is one of my favorite folders.  Check out my card here

Again I get super excited when products coordinate. They really got me with the Ornament Punch & Delightful Decorations stamp set on pages 24-36. How fun and easy, my kids have been creating Christmas cards already! 

But what my kids were really excited about is the BUILD-A-BEAR products on pages 34-37. You can purchase the stamps, the Big Shot Dies, the designer papers…send me your kids wish list or even your own! 

There’s so much more I could say….you will be seeing lots of samples on my blog. 

And if you are as excited about the mini than me and want it all !!!  then just book a party:
