Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year!!!!

Where did December go?  It always seems to be a mad dash through to January, but this month takes the cake! 

I'm not complaining!  We usually take a vacation with Walt Disney's Vacation Club and this year we went on a Caribean Cruise!  What a way to travel!  Wake up, eat, sleep, and play all day. Then.... backto reality.  I hit the airport shops and began my Christmas shopping, flew home and spent the week shopping and mailing presents.  Next, time to make my Christmas Cards (yes, I procrastinate way too long!  never again).

I created my card using My Digital Studio.  My Digital Studio is Stampin' Up!s Program and it can be used for a variety of projects, such as, Digital Scrapbooks, multi-media presentations, cards, journals, flyers.  With this program you have access to Stampin' UP!s wonderful color palette, exclusive stamp images, punches and accessories.  Then, you can have your project professionally printed by Stampin' Up!  You can also print projects on your own printer at home.

Using My Digital Studio for my this year was a great deal of fun.  I was able to use the same elements of stamping as when I create a card by hand, it saved me e a little time, and, allowed me to include a photo.  This card is  a "Hybrid" card because I added a little stamping "card candy."  I couldn't resist.

You too can have some fun using My Digital Studio.  Just order product number 118108 for $79.95 at www.stampwithwanda/stampinup.net and get started.  Additional software packages containing more accessories, stamps and paper can be added to My Digital Studio too, so check back from time to see what's new.  When you receive your software, I'll be happy to help you get started. 

Here's a video from Stampin' Up! to show you another idea.

By the way, have you ever tried to take a photo with kitties?  It's never turns out how you wanted it to be.  After taking several pitures, this was the best shot we could get.

I had a wonderful Christmas.  It's the time of year that I reflect on the many blessings I have in my everday life.  Family, friends, faith, and my association with Stampin' Up!-- My life is full!  Christmas is a wonderful time to send a card to friends and family near and far, and visit with as many as you can.

Happy Holidays to you.  I hope you also reflect on your life and find it full of many blessings!

Happy Holidays,

Sincerely,

Wanda Clasen
