So…..I had about 4 projects prepped for the Morning Live appearance, knowing we wouldn’t get through all of them, but I really did think we would have managed to get more than one done on air! Ah well. I’d rather be over prepared than under prepared. Think of it as a YamStamps Blog Bonus – because I’ll share those projects here and who knows, if I can clear enough space in my stamping area, I’ll be able to shoot a video or two!! LOL.
Here’s the video from yesterday – please come to the YamStamps blog if you can’t see it below (if you’re viewing via email or a reader) – or subscribe to the YamStamps YouTube Channel to receive notifications each time I upload a new video.
Thanks again to the wonderful hosts and crew at Morning Live who make me feel at home each time I’ve made an appearance. It’s always a fun experience!
A reminder that February’s Card Class is happening on Wednesday, February 4th (one week today) – we’re going to have a SALE-A-BRATION KICK OFF! (OK I know it’s actually already started, but better late than never?!). Cards will feature Sale-a-Bration items plus you can check out the samples that I’ve made with Sale-a-Bration goodies! Registration is open now until Monday, February 2nd – please contact me to RSVP and I will see you soon!

Thanks to everyone at CH Morning Live for having me on as a guest once again. I managed to show one project…never mind the fact that I had at least 2 others prepped and ready to go!!! Ah well. TV’s loss is the YamStamps blog reader’s gain – I’ll share all those prepped projects here over the next while leading up to Valentine’s Day. Just a quick FYI – I shared 2 kit projects on air today – the first was the Hello Life project kit and the second was the So You project kit. Both were fun and easy to make. If you decide to join my team of Stampin’ Up! Canada Demonstrators during Sale-a-Bration, you can select one of these kits for free to add to your choice of merchandise in your starter kit. Contact me for more information!
OK here are this week’s deals from Stampin’ Up! Canada. I love using the embossing folders to add texture to a project – quick and easy! Click on the item name to see it in the YamStamps Online store – you can shop 24/7 and have it delivered to your door!

We hope you enjoy this week’s Weekly Deals!
Jan 23, 2015 | cards, Seasonal Catalogue, Stampin' Up!
I don’t know about you, but the time is flying by. Some other life commitments took priority for the first part of the year, and now I’m ready to re-focus and get things going! I did manage to do a bit of stamping, and we did have our regular Stampers Club get togethers, so that’s kept me creating…I do like that my business can be flexible to allow for a little slow down and then a ramp up if it’s my choice!
Here’s a fun card using the Work of Art set and the Hello Life set from the Occasions catalogue. This sentiment is going to be one of my mottos this year! This quick card can be made and sent in minutes, which for me is rather important. If there’s too many steps involved, the process gets derailed along the way. (As I type this, I am being mocked by the pile of “Happy New Year” cards sitting on my desk, waiting for postage. That’s right, New Year, because I didn’t quite get enough finished for Christmas). I suppose if I had been planning ahead, I would have done them in red, realizing that I would be near the end of the first month before getting them out, then I could pretend it was for the Lunar New Year….even though I’m not Chinese…
Other supplies used in this card: Cardstock- Whisper White; Ink Pads: Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Night of Navy, Elegant Eggplant
I’ll be spending this weekend trying to further clean out and organize my stamping area (it’s an ongoing battle, I tell you!) and prepping for Valentine’s Day cards, in anticipation of my TV appearance! Please tune in to Morning Live on Tuesday January 27th around 8:20 am (CHCH TV) to check it out. I’ll try to share the clip here as well later.
If you’re looking to do more fun and happy things, consider attending February’s Card Class – Wednesday, February 4th at 7pm! See the YamStamps events page for more information or contact me to register!

Here’s a great bunch of deals – especially if you like colour… My faves this week – the skin tone Blendabilities…but I also love the little clothespins! Click on the link for each item to see it in the YamStamps online Stampin’ Up! Canada store, or see all the Weekly Deals at once here.
We had another fun Stampers Club Day yesterday (members have their choice of a daytime or evening slot) and I will be sharing some of those projects here on the blog in the next while. Club members will also have access to full instructions, supply lists and photos on the membership site. If you’re able to get to Burlington once a month, and would like to join us, please let me know! I will be revamping the online Club sometime in the near future as well, but in the meantime, it’s also still open for membership – contact me for details.
Happy Shopping!

Here are the latest batch of Stampin’ Up! Weekly Deals! Please click on the name beside each item to see it in the online store, or see all of the Weekly Deals at once here. I love the Starburst dies, and I think that the Watercolour (OK, I know, but I can’t spell it like that…LOL) Winter digital download may help me finally finish my seasonal cards, and perhaps before Easter. We can but hope, right?!
I do apologize that it’s been a little quiet here on the YamStamps blog – I have some things pressing in my non-Stampin’ Up! world that I need to take care of. If all goes according to plan, we should be fully back on track here next week. In the meantime, thanks for your patience!
