I’m not being rude…that’s the name of the latest photopolymer set from Stampin’ Up! Bite Me, a Hallowe’en themed set is out in time for your spooky crafting needs. Stampin’ Up! is offering a limited amount of photopolymer stamp sets as an option for your stamping collection. These stamps work with clear mount blocks (in this case, block sizes A, G, H and E), so make sure you have the right size blocks so you can get started right away!
I’m looking forward to some spooky crafting myself – the Hallowe’en Banner Class is happening one week today, so I’ll have some seasonal decor for my home. You’ll also want to check out my upcoming email newsletter because there’s a quick and fun home decor idea included inside it’s scheduled to arrive in your inbox on Tuesday, October 1st, just before the 12 Weeks of Christmas mailings start – so lots of fun and inspirational ideas coming to your email soon!

Sep 24, 2013 | Announcements, MDS
Did you know that every Tuesday, Stampin’ Up! releases new digital downloads for use in MDS or other photo editing software? Today is no exception – and because it’s also the last Tuesday of the month (eek!), the latest FREE download is here – the October desktop wallpaper! If you’re into astrology, you’ll want to grab the Starlight October kit used for this calendar, but it also contains sentiments pertaining to astrology and astronomy, including “Love you to the moon and back” (any other moms out there get a bit teary at that one??!!). Think I might have to get the kit just for that saying alone. Other downloads include the Christmas Banner Simply Created Kit – which has some realistic/3D images that I love. If you need to see these in real life, consider signing up for my Christmas Banner class – you’ll get one of these real kits to help you create your festive banner! Registration deadline is October 28th, so don’t miss out!
Happy Digital Download Day 🙂

Stampin’ Up!’s latest “best of” set is Best of Autumn
– featuring some seasonal images (and one saying) that will evoke that fall feeling….like the back to school rush isn’t enough to do that?! Anyway – a variety of styles is sure to suit your autumnal crafting needs! See the flyer here. Remember that each “Best of” set comes with a sticker, and once you’ve got six of them, you get to pick a free stamp set worth up to $17.95!
I personally always loved back to school time. I always loved (still do) shopping for back to school supplies! I think that’s part of my fascination with crafting – all those blank pieces of paper and tools waiting to be used….*sigh* If you’re also ready to get back to classes, come to one of my upcoming card making classes! This Wednesday is the monthly card class featuring 4 designs, and this Friday is the first of my Christmas Card Classes – featuring four different holiday cards each time. This way, you’ll have a number of unique cards to give to those special people, or discover a design that you like and get supplies to create a number of them, for your bulk card needs! Please contact me to register or use the paypal links on the events page for ease. Don’t forget if you register and pay for your Christmas classes before the first class, you’ll be able to make an extra card at each of the upcoming monthly classes!!
Also – I’m adding a few different classes to my slate of offerings – Wednesday, October 2nd I’m offering a Thankful mini-scrapbook using the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit. Class fee will be $35 and you MUST register and pay by September 16th as I need to pre-order all the supplies. This class runs the same time as the monthly card class, and you CAN register for both classes (and you WILL NOT be here all evening! LOL) Friday, October 4th, I’m offering a Hallowe’en banner class. We’ll create a fun banner to decorate your door or mantel for Hallowe’en. Cost for the banner class will be $40, again, registration and payment required by September 16th. So – LOTS of different opportunities for you to get crafty in the upcoming while! As always – if you aren’t able to make it on the class date, get a group of friends together and I can bring the class to you! Visit the events page or contact me if you have questions or prefer to register via email!

A little eye candy for your weekend….sometimes I take the photos on my back deck, and this was taken on a lovely, sunny day. One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! product is the coordination – the stamp set that coordinates with the punch that coordinates with the embossing folder. Love not having to think too hard when I craft!!
Hope that you are enjoying the long weekend! A reminder that my September email newsletter will be coming out soon – so if you haven’t yet signed up, there’s still time – use the sign up box on the site or click here to register.
As well, the yamstamps app has been updated, so please be sure to download the update – you can admire the new graphics and the twitter feed will work again 🙂
Hope you are able to catch your breath for a bit before we get back into the swing of things – maybe relaxing on your back deck?!
