Wow!!! What did you think? Did we inspire you to start creating digitally?

If you have the My Digital Studio Software get ready to learn to use it and join in the fun. We'd love for you to post comments and suggestions too. We hope that you'll post your MDS creations with us here at UDI.


Let's continue to inspire one another to embrace the art of creating digitally and enjoy crafting from a different perspective. You can also visit http://www.mydigitalstudio.net/ for more inspiration or for technical support.

Next week: Your My Digital Studio Challenge Celebrates Fall!!!

If you don't have MDS and are interested in learning more about this Software please contact your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

Have a great week friends!

Stampin' Sister Saturday

Our featured Diva for today is Courtney. Today she wanted to share some of her projects that she created for her Stampin' Sister. Here is what she has to say.....

A little about me.... I am a SAHM with a loving husband and two spirited boys! We reside in Clay Center Kansas which is 4 hours away from Kansas City in a small but friendly community! We love having grandparents 30 minutes away and hope to raise our family here. My son Owen will be 4 in July and Miles turned 2 last month and we are trying for another, girl hopefully! :) As far as my business I am a hobby demo turned business b/c of the overwhelming support from the community. I teach scrapbooking classes at the public library monthly as well as having card classes, mommy and me classes, and others in my home as well. (Remember small town and the closest Michaels is 1 1/2 hours away! :) This is my 'me time' and I love it!

It's a Baby Shower!

It’s Tuesday again and I have another very talented stamper to introduce to you. Her name is Adriana Benitez from Florida. I have not had the opportunity to meet Adriana in person yet, but from what I know about her over e-mail and group posts, she is a very sweet, caring and thoughtful woman. And very talented! Here is some more information from Adriana herself:

"I am happily married and have 2 fantastic little boys, aged 7 and 8. We live in Melbourne, FL and really love it here. Aside from taking care of my family, I volunteer at school and in our neighborhood and devote the rest of my time to crafting! I've been a Stampin' Up! demo for about 2 1/2 years now and am really enjoying everything it has brought to my life. The ladies at UDI have made the experience even better. There is such a wonderful spirit here; so helpful not only in business but in our personal lives as well. I find myself learning as much as I can about paper-crafting not only for myself, but so that I can share it with our wonderful ladies and thank them for all the help I've received. I can't wait until convention so that I will get a chance to officially meet some of the Divas! Until then, ((hugs)) to you all and THANK YOU for everything!"

The projects Adriana is sharing with us today are ones she made for a baby shower. What mother-to-be wouldn’t be thrilled to have these projects at her baby shower?!

Thanks, Adriana, for sharing these projects with us. I'm going to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) the purses for certain!

Have fun stampin' and creatin', everyone!
