I know….what?!!! Just thought I'd catch your eye there. I've been working on my calendar for the rest of the year and I'm planning on doing a series of Christmas Stamp a Stacks. Starting THIS MONTH, and running every month until December, you'll be able to attend and get a huge jump on all those cards you'll need for the holidays. Each Stamp a Stack will feature 8 cards (2 of 4 different designs) and 2 tags. If you register for 4 or more Stamp a Stacks, you'll be eligible for a special draw at each of the Stamp a Stacks that you attend – you could win a Stack of Stampin' Up! Supplies! Please see my Events page to register. Payment is due at time of registration. Registration for Stamp a Stack will be closed ONE WEEK prior to that month's date. Contact me if you have any questions.

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends here at home or abroad. This is a retired Stampin' Up! stamp which I still love :) Hope that everyone gets the chance to relax with friends and family. So far we haven't made it to the local festivities, but there's still hope – and besides, there will be fireworks!! Have you ever noticed that we Canadians are more proud of being Canadian when we are NOT at home? It's something that I figured out when I was travelling abroad 😉 You can also see it in full force at the Stampin' Up! convention, where we tend to wear things that identify us as Canadians. I do think that we are getting less shy about being patriotic at home, too, though. My group of demonstrators goes by the name the "Eh" Team, to give a hint of our heritage!
There's plenty of reasons to smile as well – including a new Stampin' Up! special!
During July, you can purchase the exclusive stamp set "Reason to Smile" for only $5 when you place a merchandise order of $60! This set is only available July 1 – 31 and is limited to one set per person. Contact me if you have any questions or want assistance with placing your order – otherwise, if you're in Canada, you can place your order online HERE.

We've also received news that while space is available, non-demonstrators may attend this event. If you're interested in attending, please contact me and we can see about getting you registered! Regionals are one of my favourite Stampin' Up! events…I love seeing friends from the area and getting lots of new ideas and inspiration.

My Open House Sequel which was originally scheduled for this Saturday is being RESCHEDULED. Sorry for any inconvenience! It will be rescheduled to a date later this summer, so please keep an eye here at www.yamstamps.com to see when the new date will be…if you are subscribed to my newsletter you will definitely receive notice.
Hope everyone is keeping cool! I am slated to ride in the Healing Cycle this weekend – my son & I will be biking 25 km and helping to raise funds for the Carpenter Hospice here in Burlington. The hospice provides end of life care, but also wellness programs and caregiver support.
Jun 17, 2012 | cards, rubber stamping
At each of my cardmaking classes, I will usually try to include a masculine card as one of the projects – most of my customers mention that these are the types of cards they need but often don't have on hand. Designer Series Paper is a great way to get a masculine feel to a card, even if your image or sentiment isn't screaming "Hey! This is a guy's card!"
I took inspiration for this colour combination from the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper used at the bottom. "Work smarter not harder" – or more likely "The Lazy Crafter Strikes Again" LOL. Anyway, the image is from the Layered Labels set. Now, we did have to stamp this one twice and clean the stamp in between so that did require a _bit_ more effort… Stamped first in Lucky limeade and then in Basic Grey, cut out using the Apothecary Arts framelits and the Large Oval Punch. A few brads from the Vintage Trinkets and it's done and ready to be presented to your favourite guy.
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there, and those who fulfill a male role model position in someone's life – be it through teaching, coaching, mentoring and/or friendship! Thanks for being part of the village that raises the children.
