Here are this week’s deals from Stampin’ Up! Canada! Love that the Silver Glimmer Paper is on sale right now – in time for all that holiday crafting and card making (keep scrolling down and check out the fun Hallowe’en treat bag using the Glimmer Paper on the tag!) I also have a weak spot for stationery items, so I’m thinking of grabbing a couple extra This and That Epic Day Journals. These books are fantastic “smash books” but also great for my “to do” lists and “if I don’t write it down I’ll forget” items – plus you can personalize the covers – and the insides aren’t just plain old boring paper, either!! Please feel free to
contact me if you need assistance
placing your order or have any questions. Happy shopping!!
Here’s the fun treat bag we got at Stampin’ Up!’s Fall Event in Kitchener this past weekend. I was able to help make these ahead of time for attendees. (If you are on my Instagram feed, you’ll have seen this one already). We used the Chalk Talk framelits to cut the Silver Glimmer paper into tags and added the tag from Merry Everything (punched out with the Note Tag punch, which you can get as a bundle with the stamp set). Added some Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper to the Chevron Bags, tied on some Tangelo Twist 3/8″ Satin Stitched ribbon and filled with candies! I still find stray glitter around the stamp room (I think some of it’s embedded in my cutting plates now LOL) and of course on me…I guess after making 50 of these that’s to be expected.

Here are this week’s deals! OK, seriously? Am I the only who didn’t realize we had a hearts border punch now? Guess what’s on my list this week LOL. I also love the For the Birds set, and Stampin’ Up!’s Blendabilities markers make colouring even more fun!! Click on the image to be taken to the YamStamps online store to see all these deals. If you need any help placing your order or have questions, please feel free to contact me.
ALSO – my projects newsletter goes out TODAY at 1pm. I know it’s not October, and I’m not rushing the seasons or anything…but I scheduled it for today as my Twelve Weeks of Christmas mailings starts TOMORROW. (anyone else get a little panicky realizing that it’s 3 months away?!)

Hmmm not sure if I ever shared this photo or not?! This is another one of the projects I created using Flower Patch and Flower Fair Framelits (available as a bundle). I know, you’re thinking “ummmm where are the die cuts??” I used the framelits to die cut post it notes (being sure to have some of the sticky portion on the die cut) to use as masks for the stamping – this way you get the effect that some of the flowers are behind each other… a fantastically easy thing to do that gives such a great effect! Smoky Slate and Encore Silver Metallic ink pair together to give a beautiful monochromatic look. I love this pairing!
This is a card that stamp club members made a few months back as well. I have BIG NEWS if you’ve been wanting to join in Stampers Club and are able to get to Burlington ON! I’ve decided to open an afternoon session for Club members! Club sessions remain on the 3rd Monday of the month, and now members have the option of attending from either 12:30 – 2:30 OR 7-9 pm. This is great if you’re not working on Mondays, have a flexible schedule, or needed a daytime slot because of childcare! New members can start their 6 month membership at any club meeting (well, you have to give me notice and register, but you know what I mean…) Contact me if you’d like more information or want to reserve your spot.
