I love the Stampin’ Up! set Twinkle Trees – and have used it a number of times this season, including some non-holiday cards. This is definitely a holiday card LOL! This set will be retiring at the end of the Holiday Catalogue period (January 3, 2017) so grab it before it’s gone. This card uses the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder to add some dimension to the background layer and add a bit of “wow” to the card. It doesn’t have to be difficult to send handmade greetings!
If you’re in the Halton region, tune in to Halton Insider on the Cogeco network (channel 700 on Cogeco cable) – all this week I’ll be sharing different holiday paper crafting projects! I will see if I can somehow get a video to share here….
Don’t forget that if you’re still looking for Christmas gifts (or gift ideas for those who are buying for you!) – YamStamps gift certificates are available in any amount, and are good for purchasing Stampin’ Up! product or class fees through me! Available right up until the last minute – they can be printed out in the convenience of your own home!! Contact me for more details.

I thought I’d share a non-holiday card with you! Well, I guess this could be a holiday card if you’re going away somewhere warm….I mean non-Christmas. This card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Blooms and Wishes set, and one of my current favourite colours – Sweet Sugarplum. Other colours used here: Rich Razzleberry, Soft Sky and Mint Macaron. This simple, one layer card is great for letting someone know you’re thinking about them – whatever occasion, or non-occasion it might be!
I guess I’m also in a more tropical state of mind (aka JETLAG) since I’ve recently returned from time away in Hawaii!! I was fortunate enough to travel once again with the Burlington Teen Tour Band. These talented teenagers were invited as the only non-American group to participate in the 75th Commemoration of the Pearl Harbour attacks, as well as the Waikiki Holiday Parade. I went along as one of the chaperones and photographers. It truly was a wonderful experience, especially as we were accompanied by a survivor of Pearl Harbour, Bernie Comito, and his wife Jackie. Having them present really made the whole experience so much more meaningful for all of us.
I am so grateful to have been part of this trip! You can find out more about the Burlington Teen Tour Band at their website. As a former member, I love that my child is now part of this organization, and that so many of my fellow alumni have children involved these days as well! I think that speaks volumes for the organization and the memories we have of taking part.
In the meantime, I think I have caught up on laundry, and working my way through my “to do” list of things that might have been on the backburner for a bit! It’s back at it full speed – Card Class this week, Stampers Club and Tin of Tags Class next week, and one more Private Class to go before I focus on online projects for the rest of the month! Oh – and I’m looking for someone to host my first Sale-a-Bration class in the new year – will it be you? Contact me to book a date – there may be a bonus if you’re the first one!!! (hint hint!)
