I'd like to introduce you to my Demonstrator of the Month for December - Jaime Penney. Jaime lived in Lynchburg when she first signed up as a demonstrator on my team but has since moved a couple of hours away (love that view of the Virginia countryside in the Shenandoah Valley in Jaime's photo!). I'm thrilled that she still participates with us in our monthly swaps and shoe box swaps via the mail because I think she is so talented and I love her projects (as I'm sure you will when I share them with you over the next couple of days!). She was able to attend our summer meeting a year and a half ago and I'm hoping when her little girls get older she'll be joining us for more!
Here's a little bit about Jaime in her own words...
I got started with Stampin' Up! 4 years ago when a friend and I decided to go to a Christmas card stamp-a-stack class held by a local demo. (Hi Debbie!) I purchased a stamp set, two ink pads and enough card stock to make my own Christmas cards that year. I then decided to go to another Christmas gifts stamping class, and by the end of that night I was hopelessly hooked. I inquired about the starter kit because it seemed like a good deal - lots of product and no commitment. During SAB 2008, I took the plunge (who doesn't love extra free stuff on top of an already awesome deal?!) I am a hobby demo and that's okay because Stampin' Up! allows me the creative outlet I need as well as access to cool new things before they're released to the public. I live about two hours away from my upline, but that doesn't affect any of the support I receive when I have questions, need assistance, or want to participate in group activities. I've just become real familiar with the ladies in my local post office!
Thanks, Jaime! I'm so glad you've continued to participate in our swaps!!
When Stampin' Up! first introduced My Digital Studio I was lucky enough to get hands-on training at Founder's Circle. I came back and told everyone in my group how much I loved it... Jaime purchased the design software and has far surpassed me in her abilities as you will see below. She has been scrapbooking her daugters faithfully and sending out beautiful Christmas photo cards of her family each year. I hope you find inspriration from her work as I have!


Here is a two-page spread she created for her daughter as a "year in review" - isn't it fantastic?


This is a "baby's first Christmas" spread... I love it! Being able to match colors to photos or to the embellishments means everything is going to look awesome and coordinated.
If you are interested in purchasing My Digital Studio or have any questions, please let me know! Tomorrow I'll be sharing some traditional hand-stamped cards that Jaime created so be sure and stop back by.
