I know that I'd mentioned that Stampin' Up! was not going to be carrying over the Stocking Builder punch from the Holiday Mini Catalogue, just to give you a "heads up" in case you hadn't gotten this cute punch yet! Stampin' Up! has let us know that there ARE items that will be carried over, so that you can still order these items even though they don't appear in a current catalogue.
The flyer is HERE and the list includes:
So you can still order these items after today! If something you love from the Holiday Mini Catalogue is not on this list, you are taking your chances if you don't order it now – though some sets may appear in future Idea Books, there's no guarantee! Place your online order now and you can also take advantage of the Clearance Rack – the online only Clearance Rack Blitz goes until January 5th!
Happy Shopping :) and please contact me if you have any questions! Come back tomorrow to www.yamstamps.com, as I'm planning on posting some of my samples from my TV appearance yesterday!

Happy New Year! Have you made your resolutions? I have the typical ones (at least for me) plus a few ones that are new to my list.
One of my perpetual resolutions is to be more organized….so I had to chuckle to myself when I was asked to be on CH Morning Live again – the theme being organizing your holiday memories! I am choosing to focus on the creative side of organizing memories, specifically scrapbooking the memories to preserve them! I'm scheduled to appear tomorrow morning (Monday, January 2nd) around 8:10 am if you're in the viewing area.
If you are hoping to get more scrapbooking done this year (or get started) – I'm scheduling a few scrapbooking classes here in Burlington over the next few months. We'll create two page layouts that you can then add your photos and memorabilia to once you take your masterpieces home. See my classes page for more information, or contact me to register.
Thank you for being a reader of my blog, and I wish you a very happy, healthy and creative 2012.

Hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus… I've had a wonderful time catching up with family and friends, and taking a few moments to catch my breath!
I thought I'd share my Christmas card design with you. If you've been following my blog at all, you'll know that I like to do cards that look great but aren't too finicky. This one suited me to a T! I used the Simply Scored tool to create a few score lines around the edge of the card, and then used my Big Shot to die cut a snowflake from Brushed Silver metallic paper. I silver embossed my greeting to create a tone on tone effect, which I really like!
I then had a brainwave as I had stocked up on some of the fantastic silver Glimmer Paper carried in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalogue – and this is the "bling" version of my card…not so much subtle elegance but more in your face! (still love it, perhaps even more…).
If you LOOOOOVE the glimmer paper like I do, you may want to stock up on a few sheets before they go – they don't appear in the Occasions Mini Catalogue (though fingers crossed they may make a future appearance in a mini catalogue or the next Idea Book?? No guarantees though!). One thing that I _know_ will NOT be carried over (because Stampin' Up! has warned demonstrators already!) – the cute stocking builder punch! So if you fell in love with that punch, you may want to consider getting one before they disappear!! The Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalogue sales period ends January 3rd – so place your online order HERE (take a look at the Clearance Rack while you're at it…) or contact me.

I’m working behind the scenes getting the Inbox Inspiration Program ready to launch in the new year. My Inbox Inspiration program will be a paid subscription format, and subscribers will receive weekly emails featuring a project, with complete instructions, and may also include tutorials. It’s similar to the Twelve Weeks of Christmas program, but it’s going to be offered year round! If you’d like to be informed of the launch of the program, please add your name to the information mailing list. This is NOT the program itself, just a personal notification of the program launch. Your email address will not be shared. Please contact me if you have any questions!
