Don't think that I've shared this photo yet…these are some flower lollies that I made for my TV appearance on CH Morning Live. I used the Flower Folds Bigz XL Die for the Big Shot to create the flowers, then punched a hole in the centre of them with my Crop-a-Dile and slid the stick of the candy through it. Quick and easy – so right up my alley!! LOL. I showed them as an example of something you could give someone on Valentine's Day, but these would also make great party or shower favours / decorations!
I'm trying to focus on preparing for upcoming classes, but keep getting distracted by the TV. Honestly, I don't think I've watched this much TV in ages!! I get all nervous and anxious for the Olympic competitors during their races – thankfully crafting is a great way for me to relax, so look for some more creations in the next while on the yamstamps blog here!
If you are interested in trying out Stampers & Scrappers club, I have openings for a short term commitment club – 4 get togethers only, starting March through June. Contact me if you are interested in joining or would like more information- we meet in Burlington, so if you're in the area, please consider it!!

Welcome! If I've timed this right, this post should go up just before I'm on the air on CH Morning Live. If you're new, please sign up for my newsletter (box at the top left). You'll be included in the monthly draw, and your new subscriber card tutorial bonus should be in your email inbox by tomorrow.
In the meantime…here's a look at Wednesday's class project – the Scrapbook in a Box. This is a "step up" from my previous Page in a Box – great if you have lots of family members or lots of photos!
Closed – I had fun with the Scallop Trim Border & Corner Punches!
Open – there are 3 pages on each side for a total of 12 photos or stamped images. The sentiment in the centre is from the Well Scripted set in the Occasions Mini Catalogue.
Contact me if you'd like to grab a seat at Wednesday's class. If you can't make it to Burlington on Wednesday, consider getting a group of friends together and I'll come to you!!

Build-a-Bear products are available in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalogue!! They're fun, no matter what your age. Today seemed like a good day to show some cute birthday projects made with Build-a-Bear items, in honour of Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, born on this day in 1858. The teddy bear was created and named in his honour after the then President was on a hunting trip and refused to shoot a captive bear (he ordered it released instead).
The invitation features the Bigz die Stampin' Up bear; the candy box is made with the Fabulous Favours box and Pawsitively Embosslit die, and birthday hat is made from a paper cone and embellished with the Lil' Paws Embosslit die. If you need more information on these items or projects, feel free to contact me! See here for the complete instructions on creating these birthday projects.

I don't think I ever posted these pics of door hangers that I did for the Crafting with Kids (which morphed into "Manly Crafting") on CH Morning Live last month. I used the Circle Scissors Plus to cut the hole for the door knob.
My Opportunity Evening is tomorrow – if you're wondering about what is involved in having your own Stampin' Up! business (or how to support your own habit LOL). If you aren't able to attend, but are interested in the information, there's a few options. You could contact me and we can arrange to chat either in person or via technology of some sort at a more convenient time. Or you could visit HERE and watch the videos providing information from the comfort of your own computer screen. Heck, you can even sign up online! Contact me for the password (because I'd really like to at least say "Hi" to my new team members!).
The mini starter kit (pictured at left) and the standard starter kit with bonus (In Colour ink pads & cardstock) are only available until the end of August, so don't miss out on this great opportunity! See the post here for a bit more info I'll also be providing my new recruits with a colour swatch booklet and 30 days free membership to the Business Stampers Group. What a great way to start off a new venture, eh?!
I think I've recovered from my jet lag (was on the west coast visiting family and Mickey Mouse) and I'm looking forward to getting back to my regular posting routine!
