We'll be using the Big Shot, plus stamping to create these beautiful projects!  Cost is $25 and includes all supplies required.

Class will be held Wednesday, August 17th at 7pm here in Burlington.  Please note that class size is limited.  Contact me to pay in cash, or click on the link below to pay with credit card or your paypal account.  Payment is due at time of class registration.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  See you in class!!

Special for August!

Hello!  As the Stampin' Up! stamp that quotes John Lennon goes "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans".  Where has the time gone?  Sorry for that "radio silence" there.  Here in Canada, it's a long weekend YAY so I'm busy doing fun things like totally cleaning out my home office….which has been a long time coming.  Still not quite finished…but there's room to move in there now so that's progress.  My goal is to get it more or less done by this evening.  Wish me luck!!!

Anyway, thought I'd pop back in to let everyone know about the August Stampin' Up! special – buy 3 packs of Desginer Paper, get 1 for free!  This is a great way to build up your stash of decorative paper and get ready to record all the memories from the summer and the upcoming (dare I say it) school year!  Click on the link to see the flyer, and then click HERE to place your online order, or contact me directly!

Video from CH Morning Live Appearance

If you weren't able to tune in live a week ago, here's the video of my segment on CH Morning Live.  I always have fun doing the show and this was no exception.  Bob (the co-host seen on the clip) had me laughing before we were even on air! The video is embedded below, but if you are reading this in a reader or email, it may not appear – if so, here's the link to the video on the yamstamps youtube channel. The segment was showing a few creative things you could do with children – so I featured mobiles and mini scrapbooks.

 

 

I'm finalizing my schedule for the next few months so if you're interested in hosting a workshop in your home and earning free product from the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue, please be sure to contact me!

The Best Laid Plans…..

LOL.  So I was challenged to post on my blog every day for a month.  The challenge started Thursday.  I was out by Friday….yes, that's right, I lasted one day….but I was distracted – that's my excuse! Besides preparing for my New Catalogue Open House & Rubber Garage Sale on the Saturday, I was headed to Toronto to see Hugh Jackman (yes, THAT Hugh Jackman) in concert – an early birthday present for my mother, and darn it all, the sacrifices we make for family, I went along with her.  The concert was fantastic!  Such a multi-talented guy – sings, dances, acts, and not hard to look at LOL.  We had great seats as well – close enough that I'm SURE he looked at me during the show…. and then he waved at me afterwards.  Here's proof…

ROFLOL!!! (but that really is him…)  Reminder to self: always carry camera because you never know when you'll want a half decent photo!! The iphone camera is okay…but obviously not up to certain challenges.

Thanks to all who were able to make it to my Open House – it was a frenzy of activity at the start!  If you weren't able to attend but want your copy of the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue, contact me to make arrangements to get it into your hands!

 

Reminder for Rubber Garage Sale

Hi all.  So.  As I noted on the yamstamps facebook page, I apparently jinx myself every time I put a project up on the blog on the day that I am going to be on TV.  The last few times I've done that, inevitably that's the project that does NOT get featured!!! ROFLOL.  I owe you all a video, which I hope to work on this weekend.

ALSO:

Just a reminder that if you'll be attending the New Catalogue Open House & Rubber Garage Sale, please 1) RSVP and 2) Bring cash/cheque for your Garage Sale purchases.  If you wish to place a new catalogue order, I can still accept credit card payment for that.  Any questions, please contact me!

More of the Mini Book

Inside-mini-book Here's another shot of the mini book that I'm sharing today on CH Morning Live. It's really quite easy and is a fun way to save some memorabilia, photos and memories from summer vacation.

If this is the first time you're visiting www.yamstamps.com, welcome! Please sign up for my July email newsletter which is being published tomorrow, Tuesday, July 5th. 

I hope you had a great long weekend, and a Happy Canada Day….and if you're in the US, Happy Independence Day!  I'll be sharing more projects from today's TV appearance in the next few days, so please be sure to come back to see them!

Mini Book

If you're a fan of my Yamstamps Facebook Page you'll have seen the update I posted – I'm going to be on CH Morning Live tomorrow morning (Monday, July 4th) at 8:10 am (approximately!). I'll be sharing some craft ideas for you to do with the kids in your life.

Mini-book

 

Here's a sneak peek at a mini book I'm planning on sharing – I'll show the rest of it tomorrow, and if by chance we run out of time before I get to show how it's made, I'll be sure to create a video to share!

Lots to Celebrate this July 1st!!

Happy Canada Day!  Happy New Catalogue Day!  Happy new mini Starter Kit Special Day!  *phew*  Good thing it's a holiday here because there's a lot to catch up on!

Stampin' Up!'s new 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalogue is here!  Be patient with the online version…it will take a while to load the goodness!  Hard copies will be available for free at my Open House on Saturday July 9th.  Be sure to take note of the new Hostess Program – more choices and more options!!

DBWS_MainAd_July2011_CA altered There's an additional option for the starter kit available for July!  Perfect for those of you who already have a bit of Stampin' Up! product at home already, and great to get your business started cost-effectively.  Of course, the regular options for the starter kit are still available as well…  The smaller kit features over $200 of product and business supplies, and is available for $119; the additional bonus? All recruits (and recruiters) will receive a Christmas Keepsake Box project for FREE!  You can sign up from the comfort of your own home (available after approximately 2pm Eastern Time July 1st) but if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or come to my Opportunity Information Night on Wednesday, July 13th at 7pm – the only requirement is that you let me know you'll be there!  Looking forward to seeing many of you very soon!

 

New Business Training Program!

I'm excited to offer a new program to new demonstrators who sign up with me. My business coach is offering a new "Business Basics Program" and I've decided to cover the cost for any new demonstrator signing up with me!  For those who want a refresher, or want to revitalize their stamping business, it's not a bad option, either!  If you'd like more information about this six month program, click on the link here (or above where it says "Business Basics Program"). 

If you'd like more information about what's involved in becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in Canada, please attend my Opportunity Information Night on Wednesday, July 13th at 7pm in Burlington ON. (Click on the link to RSVP). I have team members all across Canada, and the more the merrier!  If you are unable to attend the half hour presentation that evening, but would still like the information, please contact me.
