So – mark your calendars! This Friday, October 18th I’ll be on CH Morning Live sharing some crafty Hallowe’en projects. Should be fun! I’m not going to post ANY samples ahead of time, because when I do, that’s always the project that I don’t end up showing on air. We’ll see how that works for me this time LOL. My scheduled slot is 9:15 so set your PVR! (I’ll try to get a recording to share here as well).
In the meantime, I looooove the latest photopolymer set from Stampin’ Up! It’s called Endless Wishes and I just love the clean images and scripted words that are included in this set. Can’t wait to get my hands on one….and once I do you can be sure I’ll be using it for myself and for classes. Here’s the link to the flyer
If you’d like to get this set right away, you can place your order online and use the current hostess code WAUDSM7E. When you do, you’ll be entered into a draw to get the hostess benefits from all online orders placed! So if your order is less than $200, please use the hostess code – what have you got to lose? If your order is $200 or more, do NOT use the hostess code – you’ll earn benefits all on your own 😉 If you have questions, please contact me.
OK now to get back in the Hallowe’en spirit to prepare for Friday!
Hope that all my Canadian friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and my American friends had a good Columbus Day. Here are this week’s specials – while supplies last. Your best bet would be to purchase these items online to ensure availability. If your total order is less than $200, use the hostess code WAUDSM7E and you have the chance to win hostess benefits for all online orders placed. Please note that the Stampin’ Up! online shopping system is being revamped and updated today, so you may notice a difference in the site itself – due to switchover later today.

I’d tweeted about a great idea I’d visualized for a card…but you know how it goes with those ideas, sometimes…looks fantastic in your imagination, but in real life, doesn’t work out. Well this one worked! OK so I may rework the background again at some point, but it was the “ornament” that I was visualizing. I used the globe stamp from The Open Sea (a non-Christmas set), and paired it with the ornament framelit from the Holiday Ornaments framelits set that is still available (though not featured in the current catalogue and kind of hard to find on the online store site!). Anyway, it fit well enough for me to be happy with the result. Add a ribbon and there you go! The inside sentiment is “Joy to the World” but “Peace on Earth” would also be appropriate, don’t you think??
I designed this card for the October Christmas Card Class. If you are just getting into holiday card mode (or vaguely realizing that there’s a holiday coming up at some point in the next while…) there’s the November & December Christmas Card Classes still to come. Each month features 4 different cards (and different from the month before as well). You’ll have plenty of ideas if you want to recreate some of them for mass mailing. OR….consider attending my November 30th Stamp a Stack or Christmas Card Clinic. You’ll have your choice – 10 cards of 5 different designs, or 10 (or more) cards of the same design. Watch for the sign up in the next couple of weeks. Of course, there’s also the 12 Weeks of Christmas mailings – 2 weeks down, 10 to go…if you’re on my mailing list, you’ll automatically receive these special mailings.
In the meantime, I’m off to start thinking about my Thanksgiving menu! (Order turkey – check; everything else for the meal: ummmmm)

Happy World Cardmaking Day! Today we celebrate the art and craft of cardmaking, which of course leads (hopefully!!) to card sending. It used to be that we were thrilled to get an email and found things delivered by post very common – it’s definitely not that way anymore – it seems we are innundated by emails, and it’s thrilling to receive something in the mail (especially if it’s NOT in a window envelope…LOL).
I thought I’d do a quick video tutorial on basic cuts and layers for cardmaking that you can apply to any project. I must also admit, it’s a pretty “quick and dirty” video, both figuratively and literally! It was shot quickly…and if you watch it, you’ll see the “dirty” part (hint…I shot this video after card class and we used black ink at one point…check out my right hand?! LOL). Part of the reason it’s quick and dirty is also because I’ve been working on the not as quick and much prettier videos for my next online card class, which should be up and ready to go by the end of the weekend – so come back to see more information about that!!
Here’s the video – Happy World Cardmaking Day! If you can’t see the embedded video below, come directly to the post on yamstamps.com or check the yamstamps youtube channel.

Happy shopping!
