Ice cream!!
We made this card in class last week – a fun way to use punches with just a little bit of cutting involved. Nothing even close to "fussy cutting" since I am a lazy crafter, after all…
This card uses the Pennant Parade stamp set, punched out with the Petite Pennant Builders punch to create the cone, and then topped with punched out circles that have a wavy line cut at the bottom to create the ice cream scoops.
Around here it's been hot & humid, so ice cream is a welcome treat – and this one has no calories!! Another calorie-free sweet treat in June is provided by Stampin' Up! – become a demonstrator this month and you will receive a suite of products for free! Contact me or click here for more information
We will be continuing with classes through the summer, and my home is air conditioned, so why not come and be creative?! July & August class dates are up, and there's always the option for me to come to you – get a group of friends together and we'll set a date!! Contact me for more information or to register.

I've decided to do a second Open House for the New Stampin' Up! Catalogue (and Retired Rubber Sale) – Saturday, June 23rd from 9am – 11am, here in Burlington, for those who were unable to attend my first Open House, or who just want to come and visit again ;) There may also be a few items on the Garage Sale table that weren't there last time….just saying…. Once again, I ask for an RSVP and you will receive a gift certificate equal to 10% of your Garage Sale purchases for you to use in July or August for classes or merchandise.
If you are in the area this weekend, I am putting in a plug for my choir concerts! I sing with Kokoro under the direction of Brenda Uchimaru, and we are going to be performing in Ancaster TONIGHT – Saturday, June 9th at 8pm at Ryerson United, and tomorrow at Duff 's Presbyterian Church (Highway 6 just north of the 403) at 3pm. We have a variety of a cappella and accompanied songs in a number of languages. Come watch me sing in Portugese, Balinese, Japanese, Finnish, Russian, and English…LOL! Tickets are available at the door!

With the new catalogue, Stampin' Up! is introducing new firm foam ink pads. I have had a chance to use them, and I am impressed!!
The new pads provide better ink coverage with less effort – a light tapping motion will give great coverage and produce wonderful images. Another bonus – there are labels that you can put onto the end of your ink pads so they are easily identified if in your colour caddy.
If you're attending one of my classes in the near future, you'll get the chance to try out the new pads – I think you'll like them!! Please contact me if you have any questions.

First things first – click on the image to download your electronic version of the new Stampin' Up 2012 catalogue! If you want the fancy flash version, click HERE instead.
I personally love the clean and artistic look of the new catalogue, not to mention all the new items inside!
As if the new catalogue isn't enough reason to celebrate, Stampin' Up! also has a couple of specials this month!!
For those starting a Stampin' Up! business in June, you'll receive extra bang for your buck! Not only is the totally customizable starter kit a great deal ($125 for $155 worth of product PLUS business supplies), for June, you'll get extra product in your kit! Each new demonstrator will receive items from the Pool Party suite of products – stamp set, designer series paper plus a DVD of digital design products for use with My Digital Studio (or a photo editing product).Click on the image to download the flyer with product images.
If you're interested in hearing more about the Stampin' Up! business opportunity, please RSVP for my Information Night, Monday, June 11th at 7:30 pm here in Burlington. If you're unable to make that evening, contact me to make alternate arrangements – we can chat by phone or set up another date to meet in person. I would love for you to join my growing team of demonstrators across Canada!
Next, for June and July, if you host a workshop, you could earn extra hostess dollars! Earn an additional $60 in hostess dollars if your workshop sales are $575 or more – so that means in total you'd have $150 hostess dollars to spend on product – plus you may select one item for 50% off! I have some dates available for you to take advantage of this special – contact me ASAP to book a private class for you and your friends.
Last but not least, once again, thank you to everyone who was able to make it to my new catalogue Open House and retired product sale. If you weren't able to attend, please contact me to arrange to get your complimentary copy of the new Stampin' Up! 2012 catalogue, or pick one up when you attend a class with me. Look forward to seeing you soon!!
