Converting PDF Graphics to Pictures
Posted by: | CommentsOne of my demonstrator friends ask me how to convert the PDF documents that we receive from Stampin’ Up! into a format that can be uploaded to their blog. I use Adobe PhotoShop CS4 which is really expensive. However, I did a quick google search using this term “convert pdf to jpg” and I found several options which I put below. I can’t vouch for these, as I didn’t try them but here they are just the same.
Tongue Tied and Twisted: Common Communication Mistakes Leaders Make
Posted by: | CommentsAuthor: Heidi Alexandra Pollard
Good leaders are great communicators who build trust consistently over time. A leader with poor leadership communication will find leading far more challenging than a great communicator. Respect and confidence on the part of staff, executive teams, members or a board will be much harder to earn.

How To Start an Email Newsletter
Posted by: | CommentsNewsletters are an excellent communication tool for any business owner, but especially for a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. They help communicate your image, connect with customers and prospects on a different level, provide value to readers, and communicate any promotions and product offerings – keeping customers up to date. My mentor, Ali Brown, once said
“It’s not your customers responsibility to keep up with your business”.
And that is so true.
Here’s how to create a newsletter to build your business:

Download My Onesie Baby Box Tutorial
Posted by: | CommentsI use these boxes all the time at showers for decorations, games and take home gifts. I’ve also used them for small baby gifts such as a rolled up pair of socks or shoes. You can make these boxes in all different sizes as well since this is a basic box pattern. When making larger Onesie Boxes, just use the scissor…s to …cut the sleeves instead of using the Slit Punch. Yea, yea, I know the Slit Punch is retired, but it is not leaving my office. No way, no how! I love the Slit Punch! You can download the tutorial.
