Here's a bunch of RemARKable Stampers at the Baltimore Regional.  We had a blast.  I got a lot of great swap cards and took over 100 pictures of the sample boards.  I love the "Workshop Wows" and other projects that Stampin' Up! demonstrated for us. They also gave us a stamp set and five make n take projects for it.  What a fun day!  I enjoyed it so much I'm planning on bringing a mini version of it to you, so if you're near Plymouth Meeting, PA, I'd love to have you join me.  I would also love to have you join me at these type of events.  If you sign up with me between now and Oct. 17th, I can offer you a new, yet to be unveiled stamp set, Eat Chocolate (stinkin cute!) as well as the gorgeous Greenhouse Gala Craft Tote FREE!  I wish I could sign up again - this is an awesome offer.  I have seen this tote in person and I so want one, but I can't get it - only new recruits can!  Here are some samples with Eat chocolate.  I'll be posting some of my favorite swaps soon too - so come back for that.

Enjoy!

Wow, last day of the tour already.  I hope you've enjoyed seeing all the wonderful holiday ideas.  I know I got a few more ideas to try. 
Did you know Stampin' Up! has a jewlery line?  It's called Simply Adorned.  We have a bracelet and two different lengths of chains, as well as four different sizes of charms.  There are even new baubles in the Holiday Mini that hook on to the chains.  All of the charms are locket style to hold whatever you'd like - pictures, dried flowers, and best of all - stamped images!  This means you can stamp initials or anything else you'd like.  You can make inserts for every holiday or even every day.  I've seen people weave ribbon through the chain to get a different look too.  Here I just tied a little bow for an extra touch. These make wonderful gifts and are a great way to wear some art.
I'm thinking I'll probably wear mine at the Baltimore Regional, where I'm sure to gets tons more ideas to share with you, so I hope you'll come back and visit me often.  Enjoy!

Hello!  I have another card for you today.  This one uses some of my favorite things - stamps that coordinate with punches and embossing folders.  Stamp set is Perfect Punches and I markered the stamp so I could get both real red and old olive on it. It coordinates with the 1 3/4" scallop punch and then we have an even bigger scallop punch - 2 3/8!  The embossing folder is Petals a Plenty and I simply used the thin side of my stampin write marker in real red to make the dots in the center.  Old olive ribbon wraps it up!

Welcome back to the tour.  There are some awesome ideas here so make sure you check them all out.
Today's project is a list pad.  We made a different version of these at my last stamp camp where we actually stamped images on the front.  This time I used the Deck the Halls Designer Paper and it was so pretty I just couldn't cover it up. I layered the piece on always Artichoke and then the holder is Cherry Cobbler.  The ribbon is the new seam binding in the Holiday Mini and it's so soft and flexible!  I was going to use DSP on the pen holder but then decided to to put it inside the pen.  Inside is half of a Jr. legal pad that Staples cut for me. These are great for lists for the grocery store, daily to do's, countdown to Christmas chores, wish lists, teacher gifts, etc. etc...

Have you seen My Digital Studio by Stampin' Up! ?  At first I wasn't interested in it, but then I kept seeing some really neat things people were using it for.  If you're like me (and most people these days) and have your camera card full of pictures or have a bunch saved on your computer and haven't gotten them all printed yet, or simply don't have much time, My Digital Studio would be wonderful for you.  It's incredibly easy and has options for those who don't want to put much "thinking" into it to the totally customizable computer savvy techie. I whipped up a few samples to show you:
This first card is actually one that is already designed and I did Nothing - just selected it!












This one I selected a premade layout and inserted a picture, selected the background paper, punch, and "stamp".  Oh - did you notice the brads on the ends of the punch?  Put them there too.  Done in about 3 minutes.



For the third one, I started with a blank card and added all of my elements. Even starting from scratch it didn't take very long.  Scrapbooking is tons faster with this.You can print your projects, save them to a disk and email them. You can choose sizes, embellishments, borders, stamps... There really is a lot you can do with this program, and there's no mess to clean up afterwards : ).  You can even add music and make a slide show, add hyperlinks and much more.  It's definitely worth checking out!!

Hello!  The third idea I have for you on this tour  is made with aluminum sheets (hardware store), the Snowflake #2 die with the Big Shot, a votive candle, and our new Stampin' Glitter in Silver Glass from the Holiday Mini.  I cut 2 snowflakes out of the aluminum and bent one around a little votive candle so it would fit in the center.  Adhere the snowflakes together with glue dots.  What really makes this special is the chunky glitter around the outside of the votive - it's not like any other glitter I've seen.  I love it!  Makes quite a difference, don't you think?  Anyway, this would make a nice little gift or look fabulous on your table.  Let me know what you think - I love hearing your comments!
