So….if you can't tell, I took a little break from blogging over this holiday season…! However, with the new year approaching, I'm getting back on the wagon :)
In the upcoming year I look forward to blogging at least every other day…and sharing more samples and ideas with you all! I'm going to be working on filling my stamping calendar even more than last year and aim for even better customer service in 2010.
Thank you for being part of my business – by reading the blog, hosting or attending a stamping event and making purchases. I truly appreciate it! I wish each and every one of you a happy, healthy and creative 2010. See you soon!!!

Just a few reminders! Today is the last day to get in on the special pricing for Big Shot products. Take advantage of these discounted prices!
There's still time to pick up one of my GIFT CERTIFICATES for the crafter on your list! Gift certificates are available in any amount and are good for Stampin' Up! merchandise purchased through me OR class and event fees!! Contact me to purchase.
I hope that you are finishing up your last minute preparations so you can enjoy the Christmas holiday with you family and friends. As for me…well….I'm still working on sending out those Christmas cards, believe it or not… It's one thing to finish making them, but apparently addressing them and getting them into a mailbox is a totally different story!
Dec 19, 2009 | Christmas, rubber stamping
I like using some "non-traditional" Christmas colours for holiday cards. Here's a card that uses Almost Amethyst and Elegant Eggplant together. The angel from Holy Tryptich is stamped in Encore Silver Metallic Ink, and heat embossed with Iridescent Ice. The eyelet border punch is used on the Almost Amethyst layers and is highlighted by placing Elegant Eggplant behind them.
I've been trying to finish getting my cards in the mail! For me, it's one thing to get the cards made, it seems to be another thing entirely to write them out and get them into the mailbox!!
I hope that the countdown to Christmas is going smoothly for you. Don't forget that Stampin' Up!'s Twelve Days special is still running – a good chance to get some great Big Shot supplies at a sale price! Contact me to place your order before the 22nd – don't miss out!
Dec 11, 2009 | Announcements

Just to let you know that starting this FRIDAY, Stampin' Up! will be starting the 12 Days of Holiday Sales – so be sure to come back & visit my blog here (www.yamstamps.com) or my Stampin' Up! site (www.yamstamps.stampinup.net) to find out the details & get in on the sales!
Dec 7, 2009 | rubber stamping
The Burlington Santa Claus parade was yesterday….I had a good viewing spot for the tail end of it – very close to the Starbucks LOL. It's definitely chillier outside these days…here's a quick way to winterize your cards… The tree trunk from the Stampin' Up! set "Season of Friendship" is stamped in Chocolate Chip onto Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the bird in Ruby Red on the branch. The snowflakes are stamped onto vellum cardstock in Ballet Blue, and then attached to the image with gold brads. The slight opacity of the vellum reminds me of those cold snowy days. I really like the vellum overlay technique and have used it on a number of different cards – it's really effective!
If you are hoping to get your favourite crafter some Stampin' Up! gifts, get your order in ASAP – we need to allow a bit more time for delivery with the increased amount of parcels in the system these days! Place your order online here or contact me directly. Stampin' Up! has recommended THIS Tuesday, December 8th if you'd like to be sure to get your package before Christmas.
