Meet “Abigail” A NEW Punch Art Cutie
Happy Saturday, Stampin’ Friends!
I’m SO stinkin’ excited to share a brand new punch art pal with you.
I spent most of the day in the studio today working on swap designs for Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference this coming week. I’ll be flying to Houston, TX on Wednesday and I can’t wait to get there. Leadership is always such an inspiration and I am blessed to be able to go again this year. I will be taking lots of photos while I’m there and I’ll be sharing them with you.
Okay…back to the punch art. Sometimes I sit in the studio and just stare at the stamp sets praying for my “stampin mojo” to kick in….sometimes it comes and sometimes….well, not so much. I’ve had some awesome stampin’ friends tell me when I’m struggling that I need to go back to what I love. I love punch art. Plain and simple. So after creating a few cute cards, I still didn’t come away with that “Wow!” feeling. Now, I’d be lying if I said that I had Abigail in my head and just, “Pow!”….put her together. Nope. I started with a little piece of the “Sweet Sorbet” Designer Series Paper. ( It’s one of the new ones you can get for FREE during Sale-A-Bration…more about that later…) Long story short….Here’s what came to life on my desk….
Please say “Hello” to Abigail...
I just love her! She makes me smile.
I already have a couple of friends for in mind.
I can’t wait to get started on them.
Just a reminder before I go….the Occasions Catalog is LIVE and ready for you.

Introducing the BRAND NEW “Inkerbelles MDS Club”
Hey there, Stampers!!
We have been going non-stop since I got out for Winter Break and it’s been wonderful having time to just enjoy our family and friends. I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and I also hope you’re ready for an exciting NEW YEAR here with me. I have been working on something VERY exciting and I’m finally ready to let all of you in on it.
I’m thrilled to announce that starting in February 2014 I am starting a brand new
“Inkerbelles MDS Club”!!
MDS (My Digital Studio) is Stampin’ Up’s awesome digital design software and it is UH-MA-ZING. I admit that I was not very quick at getting on board the MDS train just because I LOVE working with stamps, ink and card stock and getting my hands dirty. Well…after playing with MDS and getting to know my way around, I’m a HUGE fan. It’s not just for scrapbooking or just for making cards.Nope…. You will be amazed at all that you can do with it.
Now….one of the BONUSES that comes with joining this fun club with me….I am thrilled to announce that I will be sharing “MDS Punch Art”!! Yep!! I can’t wait to share the adorable projects with punch art made completely with My Digital Studio. They will rock your socks!! So here are the deets….
The new “Inkerbelles MDS Club” will work two different ways…
“MY PLACE” OPTION: The first will be an option for those who would like to come to class here with me.
You’d bring your laptop with you, log on via my WiFi and you would work step-by-step through projects with me as I create them on the big screen. We’ll go at YOUR pace. You can kick your shoes off…ask questions and create with me and other stampin’ friends. You will need to have purchased the basic MDS program ($19.95) at MY Online Store and have it installed on your laptop prior to class.
Each month there will be five (5) (or maybe more) projects that we will create in class with the “Download of the Month”. **All downloads for class will need to be purchased from MY Online Store and installed before the day of class since our time together is limited and we want to get as much done together as possible.** Class Fee for both clubs will vary depending on the downloads we will be using but will average out to $25 per class. At the conclusion of class I will guide you through the ordering process to have your new projects printed through me and Stampin Up!. The print quality is awesome and I’m sure you will be pleased and SO proud of your new creations when they arrive in the mail.
“YOUR PLACE” OPTION: The second option is for those who are either long distance or simply can’t be here in person.
You would need to have purchased the basic MDS program ($19.95) at MY Online Store and have it installed on your computer. You will be able to work on your projects at your own pace at home (or at Starbucks etc. ) 🙂 Each month there will be five (5) (or maybe more) projects that you will be able to create with the “Download of the Month”. You will receive the video tutorials to use at your convenience and follow along with me. Once your projects have been completed, you will be able to follow the instructions I send you to order your printed projects through me and Stampin’ Up!. The print quality is awesome and I’m sure you will be pleased and SO proud of your new creations when they arrive in the mail.
FEBRUARY CLUB INFO:
The “My Place” Option will be held on Saturday, February 22nd, 2014. Sign up will close on February 15th, 2014. All downloads need to be purchased by that date.
The “Your Place” Option sign up and download purchase dates are the same. Video release dates will be posted after the “in person” class has been completed.
I can’t wait to get started! I have SO much to share with you! If you have any questions, please contact me. I am really looking forward to a brand new adventure with you!
Stamped Blessings,

Hey there Peeps!
I am SO excited to post these new additions to my Suitably Punched Critters! I have to tell ya….I have NO clue where they came from. LOL I just started punching and….POOF! I came home from work and really just needed some time in the studio to “play”. It’s my sanity. Creating is the most incredible gift I’ve ever been given and I’m so grateful that God decided to show me how to share it with all of you.
I found an adorable download this week on My Digital Studio. It’s called, “Homemade Happiness”. It’s a bargain and a half! It’s only $2.95 and you can use it again and again…and again! Here’s what I decided to do with mine….with a little help from “George and Gracie Gingersnap”…
Aren’t they just the sweetest? Here’s another look at them….
If you haven’t tried My Digital Studio yet, now would be the perfect time. You can download the FREE 30 Day Trial at any time. There are brand new downloads released every Tuesday. It’s easy and user friendly. All details and order info are at my Online Store. Just click on the shopping cart above or JUST CLICK HERE TO GO THERE NOW.
Now…as for George and Gracie…I’ve already planned a video tutorial to share them with you and show you how to create them…step-by-step. Woot! Stay tuned!
Thank you SO much for stopping by to visit. Please come back soon!
Stamped Blessings,
