2181

No, not the amount of paper I own.
Not the money I have spent on supplies.
Not the number of days I have been a teacher.
Not the KM's I have driven in my new car.


2181 is the number of digital designs I own from the Quickutz Library.


Can you believe that? No need to store them on a shelf, in a special tote or on my hard drive. These designs sit on the server at QK and are mine for life. This week the company did a series of improvements to their server and I did a recovery of the images that I have bought since this glorious Silhouette machine appeared on the market. That is how I know that I have 2181 designs in my account.

It's perfectly clear to me as to why I bought the unlimited download subscription for one year. Quickutz also had a promotion to their customers to obtain a code that would enable them to buy the subscription for half price, I know that code! With one release (sometimes 2) each week, I can shop, collect and brainstorm projects from my computer.

Today, Quickutz released some page frames that are going to help me create pages with many photos on them, all with a clean, mat-like look. I am going to try one this weekend. You have to go and see for yourself. Then, make sure that you get set up for an unlimited download subscription so you too, can have 2181 designs at your fingertips.

2181 and counting.

This morning the phone rang with some amazing news

Thanks to Andrea with Quickutz who called me from Utah today with some very exciting news. Quickutz put the call out in June, as they were looking to build an team of Ambassadors who would help spread the *joy* of Quickutz with others. I mustered up the courage to put my name into the many applications, over 1700 hundred inquires I was told. Although I am most happy to be with the creative friends I have made while scrapbooking, showing ones work is personal and "putting it out there" is a risk. We all have a different style and I like to celebrate that we are all very different.

I am lucky that I have a role with Photo Express that provides so many opportunities to interact with our lovely customers. Working in the store with such a large inventory (we practically have every die! and product) , a Quickkutz club (PE CREW) and some amazing staff members (whom are so supportive friends too!) will for sure be a credit to help me be a positive team member on the Quickutz Ambassador team.

I am looking forward to being creative with the 7 other team members, all in the US. I am the Canadian in the crowd and very proud to be! More to come....on this new adventure.

Quickutz Crew night

Each month, Photo Express has a crew gathering for all the members of their QuicKutz Crew. It was alot of fun to work with the QK fans as they came through the station this month. I was happy to be at the card station, meeting all the Crew members as they rotated through the 4 stations. Karen designed the lovely 2 Christmas cards, yes.....I *know* Christmas cards! In fact Karen designed all the projects this month, combining dies from the Limited Edition VIXEN set, Revolution and Relax Gift sets.

If you are not a member of the PE QK Crew, you will want to be. Here is the information.... http://photoexpressions.ca//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=152 I don't have photos to share this post, they are for our special crew members. You could be one too!
