My Digital Studio Update, Downloads, and More

I really love My Digital Studio (Stampin' Up!'s easy to use software for creating digital designs and projects) -- and it just keeps getting better!  Stampin' Up! just released a free upgrade for software users, and the upgrade adds some great new functions plus some great new print products!!!  You can read the specifics of what the upgrade includes here. Get the updates here.  And, check out the new print products here.

One of the new My Digital Studio print products that I'm super-excited about is the swatchbook!  I can see so many possibilities for fun mini albums to create with it.   I'm thinking this could be great fun for an end of year teacher gift with a photo of each child in the class on one page and a message on the back, or similarly for a coach's gift, or for a group of friends, or for a recipe exchange, or well, the possibilities just go on and on!   In fact, I've already created one page that I can share with you:

(When this is professionally printed through Stampin' Up!'s print services, there would be a hole punched in the middle of the circle on the left hand side, and a ring through that hole, binding this page to the others.) 

There were also a bunch of new downloads released last month, and more on the way -- sounds like there will be new downloads every Tuesday in April!  You can see the newest downloads available here. 

Stampin' Up! recently created a great resource for keeping track of your downloads as well.  Click here for the links to the My Digital Studio Catalog and March Catalog!  (And, actually, while you are there, consider joining the My Digital Studio online community -- it's a great place to learn techniques, be inspired, and share your ideas and projects!)

If you'd like more information about My Digital Studio, please leave me a comment or send me an email (there's a link in my sidebar you can use to email me).

Thanks for stopping by!

Grab Bags are up for GRABS!

Beginning April 1, and continuing while supplies last, you will be able to purchase special "grab bags" in the Online Store. These grab bags will come in three sizes: the $5, the $10, and the $15 grab bag. Each bag will contain a variety of discontinued products that could include a combination of any of the following: ribbons, Accents & Elements, chipboard, Designer Series Papers, and Simply Sent kit components. Grab bags will not contain stamp sets or tools.

Please keep the following in mind:

• Grab bag orders can only be placed in the Online Store.
• There is no minimum purchase required to participate in the grab bag special offer.
• There is no limit to the number of grab bags a customer may purchase; however, grab bag items are only available while supplies last. 
• All grab bag sales are final. There are no refunds or exchanges.
• Not all grab bags will be unique.
• You should use the following item numbers when ordering grab bags:

Item	Description
125873	$5 Grab Bag (containing at least $20 worth of products!)
125874	$10 Grab Bag (containing at least $40 worth of products!)
125875	$15 Grab Bag (containing at least $60 worth of products!)

GRAB BAG UPDATE: 

So far, many people have taken advantage of this offer--so many in fact that the $15 grab bags are already sold out. In order to keep a $15 option available, we’re now kitting together a $10 and a $5 grab bag to fulfill $15 grab bag orders. The value of the products you will receive is unchanged.
