My Big Secret: Here's Your Hint

Ok, it's only 24 hours until the big reveal (give or take a few, I can never remember to take into account the time difference) and I promised you a hint. Here it is.....The answer was guessed in a couple of the comments. Now it's up to you to search the comments and figure out which ones are right!!! Woohoo.....only one day to go until I can tell you all! (Ok, quit giving me dirty looks now!!!!)


I'm a bad Design Team member

Ok, for those of you who haven't seen it on my sidebar, I'm a design team member for the Late Night Stampers group. Every week we have a new challenge. As a DT member I'm suppose to post a project on Monday to get everyone on the group in the stamping mood. Well, between Convention, Prepping for 3 classes and a conference, and my exciting SECRET, I completely forgot! I know.....I know....so, in penance, I promise to post a couple of projects over the next few days. Here is my first one. This is the box of tags we will be making at my Totally Tags class on Sunday. It is a Stampin Up! original, which means it's something I have totally CASEd from SU! As a demo I have access to a template library and project tutorials. They are amazing. This box of tags is from there. I did add the box lid and changed a few minor things, but basically this is exactly what is on the site.

The tags are from the level 2 hostess set Christmas Punch. Each one of the stamps coordinates with one of our SU! punches. The ONLY way to get this amazing set is by hosting a workshop. Are you totally in love with it? Then give me a call and we will get you on my calendar.

OH, don't forget to check back a little later today for a HINT regarding my SECRET! Enjoy the tag box, and I'll see you a bit later.

Ok, you all got to me......so Here's a hint

Well, maybe not a hint really, but I can definitely guarantee you that I am NOT pregnant. With a six and eleven year old the last thing I need is a baby :) And, no, I won't be moving back to the states, I'm in Germany for at least a couple more years. Sorry Marisol, as exciting as being your neighbor in New Jersey sounds, it just isn't going to happen :)You are right though, it is extremely exciting!!! It is definitely good news. I'll tell you what, tomorrow (Thursday) I will give you a true hint. Keep guessing though, if someone gets it right I'll let you know! Oh, and since everyone seems as excited about it as I am, instead of giving away blog candy to one prize winner, I'm going to give blog candy to TWO lucky winners. Just leave me a comment for your chance to win!


My Digital Studio Sample Book

The other day I was able to show you the cover of my MDS sample book. Now I thought perhaps you would like to see the entire book in movie form. I am so in love with MDS. It has made my life and scrapbooking so much easier. I was able to put together 24 pages the other night in the same amount of time it would have taken me to do one two page spread with actual ink and paper. I've also used it to create flyers for workshops, design t-shirt logos, make cards and about a million other things. If you haven't had a chance to play with this program yet, make sure you get your hands on it. I'd be happy to do a one on one demonstration with you. Just let me know!

OOOOHHHHH I've got a Secret!

Ok, I'm horrible at keeping secrets, I mean really really horrible. I have just had the most exciting news, but I've promised to not tell until Friday. It's really really amazing, but I just can't share. Oh, ok, I'll give you a little hint.....no wait, I can't do that either. I'll tell you what, if you hang on until Friday and don't pester me to give it away (cause you know it wouldn't take much to get me to talk) I promise I'll give away some awesome blog candy. Just leave me a quick message, you can even try and guess my big news, and I'll enter you in for an amazing prize drawing.......Oooh, better go before I let something slip!
