I apologize for the delay in getting these samples up for you. I have been hit pretty hard by a nasty cold, but I'm finally starting to feel better.

Here are a couple of sample cards I have made with Stampin' Up!'s newest product, My Digital Studio (MDS), which will be available on October 1st! They only took a few minutes to create.

SummerHomeCardSample1-001Ultrasound Baby Card-001I used the Designer Templates for these cards. I did make some changes to each of the templates.

Hopefully I will have some more samples up for you later this week.

Happy stamping!

Well, the summer has flown by and we're now into September. Here in the northeast, the weather has definitely gotten cooler (not that we had many hot days this summer though) and the daylight is getting shorter. :(

I just wanted to update everyone on where things are at.

As far as the pregnancy goes, I'm now 24 weeks along and I'm feeling much better. We found out last week that we're going to be having a boy! His name will be Cory Matthew Tanner.

We thought we were going to be moving this summer, but now it looks like we will be staying put at least until spring.

I just re-signed the Independent Demonstrator Agreement with Stampin' Up!, so no worries about that. You may notice that a few links were removed so that I would be in compliance - which I had no problems with. I really only use Stampin' Up! products anyway!

I will be receiving my copy of Stampin' Up!'s new digital scrapbooking kit, My Digital Studio, today and I hope to get to play with it tonight and this weekend. I'm very excited about this software as I've wanted to scrapbook for a long time, but I could never seem to find the time. From everything I've heard, My Digital Studio makes scrapbooking so much quicker. When Cory arrives I won't have much time, but I'll definitely want to make a scrapbook of everything he does! I hope to be able to post some samples of what can be produced with the software this weekend. Not only does it do scrapbooking, but also DVDs, cards, calendars, blog headers and much more! I CAN'T WAIT!

I will be attending the Stampin' Up! half-day regional seminar on October 17th and hopefully I'll have some cards to swap with the other demos!

I'm hoping to hold a fall card class on Saturday, October 10th. Not sure on the time yet, so check back for more information.

I really will try to get better about posting more regularly, but things are pretty crazy with work and getting ready for the baby. Check back soon to see the My Digital Studio samples - it will be available for customers to purchase on October 1st!

Happy Stamping!

TGIF! What another long week...I much prefer the weekends!

I apologize for not posting yesterday, but I was completely exhausted when I got back from my appointment yesterday evening that I just went right to bed! Today I left work early because I wasn't feeling well and let's just say that I should have left earlier because I didn't make it home before I got sick...in the car no less. I really can't wait for this part of the pregnancy to get over.

Anyway, yesterday I had my first ultrasound...just on the monitor...sorry, no pictures yet. I thought there might be a possibility of having twins because my grandfather was a fraternal twin. However, it looks like just one bun in the oven. We did get to see the baby and his/her heart beating as well as listen to the heartbeat. That was neat. Now I have to wait another month before the next one...I hate this waiting thing! Anyone have any neat baby stories or hints/tips/tricks for this new mom? I'd love for you to share your stories with me!

I did update the Last Chance Accessories List again today. To access it, just click here for the post. I have finished mounting my BRAND NEW STAMP SETS! I just haven't gotten around to making any new projects with them yet...maybe if I feel better this afternoon/evening.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

Well...not exactly...I bought the stuff myself, but the wonderful Man In Brown delivered my Sneak Peek items from the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog that will be released on July 1st! The lovely package arrived yesterday and was waiting for me when I got home from work. I started mounting the stamp sets on my break at work today and hope to finish them up this evening. Also, if my energy stays with me longer than it has been lately, I plan to make some projects with my new toys tonight.

I did update the Last Chance Accessories List a few minutes ago, so check the chart below to see if the items you've been thinking about getting are still available! Don't forget, just click on the Order Online button on the right side of this page to get to my Stampin' Up! website. Then click on the Shop Now button in the upper right corner to take advantage of all the great deals Stampin' Up! has going on right now!

On the baby front...tomorrow is my first ultrasound, so if I have a chance tomorrow night I'll try to post the details!

Since I don't have any photos of new cards yet to post, I will leave you with a photo of my puppy being cute! This was taken awhile ago, and he is much bigger now. He is a Husky/Beagle Mix and we adopted him from the Monadnock Humane Society in November. His name is Angelus (named after the character from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel series). He sure can be a little demon sometimes...LOL.

Hi again stampers!

Yes, I am still alive! Where does the time go so quickly? I again apologize for my long absence, but I have some great announcements that I hope will help you to forgive me!

Sorry about my extended absence!! My camera battery needs to be charged again, and of course the charger seems to be in that "safe" place that I can never seem to find. I will continue to look for it and I hope to get it in the next few days so that I can post all the awesome things I've been creating.

You will notice some changes to my blog in the near future. Some include:

• I will start offering items/classes/card kits that you can purchase online using PayPal!
• You will soon be able to RSVP and pay for classes using PayPal!
• I am currently trying out Constant Contact for my monthly newsletters, so if you're interested in joining my mailing list please subscribe using the link on the right sidebar!
• I am working on coming up with some challenges and maybe even some swaps for everyone to participate in!
• I plan to add more tutorials and technique information!
• I will start adding scrapbooking samples!
• I will add more 3-D, home decor and party favor samples!
• Big Shot project ideas will be coming soon!

This is a lot of stuff, so I will probably roll out a few at a time over the next few months, but I just wanted to give you all a heads up!

Okay, on to the promotions!

Sale-A-Bration is still going on through the end of March, so it's not too late to place your order! If you're not familiar with Sale-A-Bration, then here's the deal: for every $50 in Stampin' Up! products you purchase during this time, you will receive 1 FREE Sale-A-Bration item. This year there are 4 Stamp Sets, a Ribbon Bundle and a package of Designer Series Paper for choices. These items will never be offered again, so if you're interested in any/all of them, then make sure you place your order before March 31st! If you'd like to order and you live in the US, then you can visit my Stampin' Up! website to place an order.

Stampin' Up! is offering the Easter stamp sets in the Occasions Mini now so that you can have them before Easter! Pictures of the sets are below, and if you'd like to order and you live in the US, then you can visit my Stampin' Up! website to place an order.

The entire Occasions Mini 2009 products will be available for ordering on April 1st as well as some other exciting NEW products that you'll hear more about soon.

Finally, April is "Get Connected" month, so watch for information on a class and Open House that I will be holding for this event. In this economy we need to focus back on doing the "little things" to show our friends, loved ones and customers that we care and are thinking of them. Let's try to re-connect with these important people by sending them hand made cards, scrapbook pages or hand made gifts. It truely is the thought that counts!

Happy Stamping!

Well, I finally have the photos of the cards we'll be making for the Valentine Theme class this Sunday. I finished them the other day, but photographing them and uploading took longer than I'd hoped. As a reminder, if you're interested in taking this class and haven't already RSVP'd, please contact me as soon as possible because the cut-off date for registration is Thursday. I have to be sure that I have plenty of supplies for everyone!

Without further ado, here are the cards and the details. (Click on the photos to see larger more detailed images)

Good morning stampers!

We're getting a lot of snow here...again. So, today I will hopefully have a chance to do some more stamping and some housework that I've been neglecting.

I just wanted to quickly let you know that I am going to be teaching a Valentine Theme class on Sunday, February 1st at 2pm at the Community Church of North Orange and Tully.

Anyone interested in attending please call me at 978-249-9425 or email me at galetannerdesign@gmail.com.

I hope to post a few of the cards this afternoon, but some of the other things will have to wait until I get my order from the new catalog which starts tomorrow
