Claudia and Company is now officially closed. I can't believe that day is here. I wanted to share a couple of things with you before I officially sign off from this blog as well.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First, a little something I found on the internet; I just had to share it with you because it is so fitting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0YkJxX88Zs4/TvYCyoOuG4I/AAAAAAAAC_k/ixEwLrjSbWI/s1600/EllieMoment.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0YkJxX88Zs4/TvYCyoOuG4I/AAAAAAAAC_k/ixEwLrjSbWI/s400/EllieMoment.jpg" width="284" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(Disney's Movie Up)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes, thank you all for the adventure; I could not have done it without you! And yes, I added the "we will" because that is what we are looking forward to: our new family adventure. God is leading the way, so I know it will be great.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you for your wonderful support, prayers, and words of encouragement.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also wanted to share a new place I created for me; my new personal <a href="http://www.lattestoysandcrafts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">blog</span></a>. It is named after my three favorite things! I hope you will join me there. I look forward to sharing future creations and little updates of my family.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And last, but certainly not least...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>Merry Christmas!</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">God bless you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hugs,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rs8WlOp9Qcw/TdGRDUI-ksI/AAAAAAAAC1Y/m7ogeABW3lo/s1600/CCO+Signature+copy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rs8WlOp9Qcw/TdGRDUI-ksI/AAAAAAAAC1Y/m7ogeABW3lo/s1600/CCO+Signature+copy.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Claudia and Company is closing its cyber doors.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">I struggled with this decision for many months; going back and forth, trying to find a way to make it all work. In the end, after much prayer, I felt a sense of peace. A peace I have felt before with other struggles in life; a peace that meant that God was getting ready to deliver something much bigger; that He was preparing my heart (and schedule) for something bigger. As most of you know, our youngest son, Sammy had an appointment with a neurologist on December 5th; Sammy was diagnosed with autism. We are optimistic because he seems to be afflicted with a fairly mild case, although we are very early in the process. We are confident that speech and occupational therapy should correct the majority of his issues. There will be further testing (to rule out any other possible causes for his speech delay) and further refinement of the diagnosis and treatment. We don't yet know what type of schedule he will have, but it will more than likely be 3-4 days a week. It is time for me to be a full time mom (again) and I couldn't be more excited.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">I can't tell you how grateful I am for all the support you have given me throughout the last 2.5 years; from the very beginning of Die Cuts R Us to what my little store is today... Claudia and Company. Emails, blog comments, Facebook page comments, letting me know how happy you were with your order always... always... made my day! A very special thank you to my store admin Margie! Margie helped me run the store when I needed it the most and I am blessed to call her friend.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">The store will be closing on December 23rd at 11:59PM. Starting today, you can purchase many items at 50-60% off regular price; some are discounted even more. Here are just a few examples:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Because our sale prices are so low, free shipping over $75 and flat rate shipping is no longer available; I honestly cannot afford to offer them at this point. Shipping costs will be based on weight and location; if your order fits in a USPS flat rate box, we will refund the difference. As always, each and every order will be filled and shipped as quickly as possible.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Once again, thank you all so very much for your kind words, your encouragement and your unyielding support.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Hugs and many blessings,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had to share one of the many things I am most thankful for this year: Our trip to Disney World! As I mentioned before, God blessed us with the wonderful opportunity to take my parents, who had never been there, and it is the BEST trip we've ever had. One, I will not soon forget.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made this layout using the <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">My Memories</a> software. I can't tell you how much I love this program! So quick and easy. I just had to share my absolute favorite photo from the trip; we have close to 1000 pictures from three cameras combined, and this one was easy to pick out... I promise not to make the next 50 posts of Disney pics. Heehee.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is when my parents met the characters for the first time. It was so cute to see their reaction; Mickey even kissed my mom's hand.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Because Margie and I will be busy this weekend with family, we will not be having a Black Friday sale, but stay tuned... we will be having a super duper Cyber Monday sale! See you then.<br />

THANK YOU ALL for your wonderful support and friendships. You are a huge part of what I am thankful for this year.<br />

Happy Friday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am a bit late with this post; I apologize for that.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My family and I flew to Florida last Friday and returned Wednesday night. It was a quick and very busy trip. We had lots to celebrate, and what better place to celebrate than at Disney World; the only thing that topped that was being there to witness their Christmas festivities. They were nothing short of spectacular. What were we celebrating, you ask? Well, we celebrated Sammy's birthday, our wedding anniversary, and my mom's birthday. My husband and I gifted my parents the trip to Disney for their own wedding anniversary back in July. We've been saving for months and just couldn't wait!</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was well worth the wait! See, we've visited Disney World before, but my parents hadn't been there. Their excitement and amazement led to many happy tears. This time together was very much needed, and now we have so many great memories.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">To announce the winner of the <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">My Memories Suite software</a>, I thought I'd show you another layout I made when I created the others I showed you in the original <a href="http://claudiaandcompany.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-new-love-and-giveaway.html" target="_blank">post</a>. Of course, in honor of a previous trip to Disney World; I have yet to upload all the pictures from my camera. I can't wait to create layouts for this trip. I am thinking a photo book created with the <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">My Memories</a> software is going to be our Christmas gift to my parents this year!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MdlR46cdYF8/TsWI_Z2eUoI/AAAAAAAAC-Q/_K_sFOEkP_k/s1600/My+Works+1-002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MdlR46cdYF8/TsWI_Z2eUoI/AAAAAAAAC-Q/_K_sFOEkP_k/s400/My+Works+1-002.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For this layout, I used one of <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">My Memories' </a>photo layouts; just added the photos, a few papers as backgrounds, and embellishments... and just like that, I was done!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway... super fun! This <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">digital scrapbooking software</a> is so great! <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">My Memories</a> offers freebies all the time, discount coupons, and a fun Speed Scrap challenge on Sunday nights; I hope to start participating on those soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So on to our winner...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://chroniclesofsarita.blo/" target="_blank">Sarabeth</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Congratulations Sarabeth! Please contact me so I can email your special <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">My Memories</a> software and store purchase codes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Happy Tuesday! I am so glad you are here!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am thrilled to bring you some exciting news!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This has been quite the year for me. As I mentioned in a previous <a href="http://claudiaandcompany.blogspot.com/2011/08/team-i" target="_blank">post</a>, I have been cutting back on extras that take time away from what is most precious to me... my family. I see that all this has been preparation for other things that God has planned for me; as the days and weeks go by, I see that more and more. While I've known in my heart that I want to spend more time with my kiddies, I now know that God has been paving the way for me. My sweet Sammy, who just turned 3, will need special kind of attention. We don't yet know to what extent; we will know more on December 5th, when he has an appointment with a neurologist.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been praying for our future as a family and the future of my business. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, God revealed something completely different; something I am very happy with.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">With that being said... allow me to introduce to you <a href="http://www.claudiaandcompany.com/" target="_blank">Claudia and Company's</a> new store administrator:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ohbumbleismemargie.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Margie Cortina</a><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uP1wUqMo3L0/Trkxn6ru5nI/AAAAAAAAC-A/5Ir7UyJpEmk/s1600/Margie+C.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uP1wUqMo3L0/Trkxn6ru5nI/AAAAAAAAC-A/5Ir7UyJpEmk/s1600/Margie+C.JPG" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've known Margie since the very beginning days of my little store; she has been a design team member, and a wonderful friend. I even love that we share the joys of raising boys! I am over the moon excited to be able to work with Margie again!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Margie will be assisting me in a lot of administrative aspects of the store: on the <a href="http://www.claudiaandcompany.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>, on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/claudiaandcompany" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, with the newsletter, and eventually she will learn the shopping cart side of the store as well; that alone is a huge undertaking, especially around CHA time... which is fast approaching! Eek! Margie's new role will free up a lot of time for me to be with my family; I am so grateful for that.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Please join me in giving Margie a warm welcome!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hugs,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J5XtH5lcSkY/TWUjp0iwTXI/AAAAAAAACpc/gXFkiDN0WPM/s1600/CCO+Signature.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J5XtH5lcSkY/TWUjp0iwTXI/AAAAAAAACpc/gXFkiDN0WPM/s1600/CCO+Signature.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Happy Friday! I am so excited to share with you a little something that has captured my heart over the last few weeks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I am a card making kind of gal, but I have always loved visiting different scrappy blogs, and secretly wishing I could "do that" with a 12x12 piece of paper. I even have magazine clippings of scrapbook pages that I hope to create one day. Scrapbooking scares me a little... well a lot! I spend hours on one layout.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well... Liz from <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/">My Memories Suite</a> made my day when she contacted me last month and invited me to try out this super amazing <a href="https://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">digital scrapbooking software</a>!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.mymemories.com/digital_scrapbooking_software"><img border="0" height="161" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dz4ZOS1_TNU/TrMu3-3xzJI/AAAAAAAAC9Q/7kCIxjvdE1I/s400/Funnest-420x170.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was a little scared of that too. I LOVE all things techie, but I was concerned that this would be a bit much to learn. I went through the tutorials available <a href="http://www.thepinktoque.com/category/mmstutorials/" target="_blank">HERE</a> and immediately downloaded the <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">digital scrapbook software</a> and got started. MY OH MY! This is so easy and fun! While <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/" target="_blank">My Memories Suite</a> offers many pre-made layouts to get you started, I opted to create all the layouts you see below from scratch. I just had to try all the different features. I literally created the basic layouts in minutes. You know all those magazines I have been saving... well I went to those for inspiration!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, and while I haven't had a chance to try it yet, you can also create calendars with your scrapbook pages! I am thinking Christmas presents.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I have to say, this is one of my all time favorite collections; I love collections with brown in them.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hello everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful week.</div><div style="text-align: center;">August 31st? Already?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Not only does today mark the end of the month, but it also marks the end of the term for our design team. I don't like good-byes, so I am glad to know that I don't have to say good-bye to these wonderful and talented ladies. I know I will see them often right here in blog land.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Joy, Jodi, Kadie, Piali, Tanya, and Taylor:</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am so very grateful for the support you gave me and <a href="http://www.claudiaandcompany.com/">Claudia and Company</a>. You are all so wonderful to work with and I always looked forward to the new week's creations.</div><div style="text-align: center;">From the bottom of my heart... Thank you so much.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Friends, this also marks the end of the design team as a whole for <a href="http://www.claudiaandcompany.com/">Claudia and Company</a>. After much thought and prayer, I feel in my heart that this is a good time for the change. My family needs me, and it is important for me to cut down the amount of extras so that I can take care of them. Because I have the most amazing friends, we will still be bringing you wonderful inspirations... with guest designers!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you to ALL our past designers!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hello everyone! I hope you've had a wonderful summer. I don't know about you, but my family and I had quite the summer: trips to the zoo, birthdays (lots of them), pool time, an extreme makeover of our house (all done in 10 days, with the help of two 20 yard dumpsters), a road trip to Texas, and a little bit of everything in between. Now we are getting ready for school to start on September 6th. Phew!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have the most supportive design team. The gals took the summer off (the C&Co. blog) along with me; I know that they too, enjoyed summer with their families. Thank you, sweet ladies.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am happy to be back with some inspiration from our amazing design team.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

First, I'd like to thank each and every one of our participants; we love all the inspiration that comes our way with each new challenge. That being said, summer vacation just started (or is about to start) for everyone here in the U.S., and we have lots of outdoor activities planned with our families and friends. It was decided a long time ago that we would take a break from challenges during the summer months to do just that. Family is very important to me, and I have four boys that are ready for the summer fun to begin.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We are not sure when challenges will resume, but we will be sure to let you know.</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Thank you again for playing along with us.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This canvas was inspired by the super talented <a href="http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2011/04/class-sneak-peeks.html">Jennifer McGuire</a>; she blogged about a class she was going to teach in Dayton, OH last month. And, let me tell you, if I had known about this class sooner, I would have definitely driven four hours to take this class. I knew I wanted to make one, so I studied the sneak peek photo she posted <a href="http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2011/04/class-sneak-peeks.html">HERE</a>, and made one of my own. Mine is a little simpler of course, but what can I say... I missed the class. I still love how it turned out, and Mrs. D loved it just as much. I actually had a hard time parting with it; I hope to make one of my own soon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is the reason why I took the time to make these gifts for an absolutely beautiful lady; those of you that know me, know that I have very few spare minutes in my day, so this was quite the challenge.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the <a href="http://claudiaandcompany.com/">Claudia and Company</a> June release blog hop. Boy, our blog is really hoppin' this week, isn't it? I'd say no pun intended, but I totally meant it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I am excited to add four new stamps to our <a href="http://www.claudiaandcompany.com/category_126/Claudia-Company.htm">house line</a>: two digi stamps and two clear stamps.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Dolphin and Seahorse digi stamps by John Grutta</div><div style="text-align: center;">Little Miss Mia Mini clear stamp by Jane's Doodles</div><div style="text-align: center;">Heart of a Card Sentiment Set by Claudia and Company</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They are now available for <a href="http://www.claudiaandcompany.com/category_126/Claudia-Company.htm">purchase</a>.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n7FK7gB1maM/TfDN1GCDDwI/AAAAAAAAC4w/1B16QHGO8y4/s1600/CCOJuneReleaseDayBlogBanner.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n7FK7gB1maM/TfDN1GCDDwI/AAAAAAAAC4w/1B16QHGO8y4/s1600/CCOJuneReleaseDayBlogBanner.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Heart of a Card is a mix n' match sentiment set that was created to be just that: the heart of a card. All, but a few [beginning] words are larger than the usual sentiment; they were designed this way so that you can use them on a card with an image or by themselves. Little Miss Mia has two sentiments of her own.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Our designers have created some wonderful cards showcasing our new stamps; here is a sneak peek of just some of the ones you'll see along the way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
