I have to admit, there are some cards that I like more than others, and this is one of them. I particularly like this one because while it looks involved, it's really quite easy! (That's my specialty I think….cards that aren't too hard to make, but look difficult!!)
Anyway – this card uses the Island Floral Bigz die for the Big Shot for the focal floral accessory. By sponging the edges of the cardstock, I think it adds an extra depth. The gold glimmer brad holds the die cuts together (there's a hole in the centre of them) and adds a bit of bling. Love the Lace Ribbon Border punch – one of my new favourites, I think! Plus tone on tone stamping of En Francais makes the background a little more interesting.
I think you will also LOVE the Christmas card that I came up with using this die as well!! Thanks to the sharp eyes of a club member, Jo-Ann, I was able to visualize this floral die being used in a whole new way. If you want to see what became of that observation, be sure to be signed up for my newsletter!

You had to know it would happen, right?! Good to get a jump on those holiday cards and gifts….but a bit scary, too!! LOL
This month's themed class is Letters from Santa! We'll make these four fun cards plus the basket to hold them in (or a small gift). Cost is only $25 and includes all supplies required for this class. Date of class is Wednesday, September 28th, but start time will be slightly later than posted initially in the class list – 7:30. (We have a school open house early that evening!). Class is in Burlington ON but if you'd like to get a group of friends together, I can also come to you at another time! I am also considering offering this class one more time in the next month or so, so if you are interested in that option, please let me know. Otherwise, you can use the paypal link below to register for the class and pay by credit card or your paypal account. If paying cash or cheque, please contact me directly.

I'm holding a project class Friday, September 30th at 7pm. Your class fee includes one Simply Scrappin' Kit of your choice from the Idea Book & Catalogue, and a 5×5 art journal. We'll create a cover piece for the journal plus create decorated pockets and pages inside the journal. You'll be able to use this handy book to jot down notes, sketches, memories and ideas. You could use these as a jumping off point for future scrapbook pages, or simply use the journal itself as a mini scrapbook.
I posted this picture of an art journal I created over the weekend using the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper and Beau Chateau Side Notes – so yours will be "similar but different" depending on which Simply Scrappin' Kit you pick! The Simply Scrappin' Kits start on page 188 in the Idea Book & Catalogue. Contact me if you have any questions, or if you're ready to register for class – click below to pay by credit card or paypal account! Use the drop down menu to select with kit you'd like and it will be waiting for you at class.

Just a reminder that the Buy 3, Get 1 Free Deal on Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Paper AND the Summer Holiday Mini Catalogue will expire TOMORROW. I know, like the CNE, it's another sign that the summer is drawing to a close….sorry to be the one to remind you! LOL.
Have no fear, though, with September comes Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalogue which will help ease the sorrow of saying farewell to the Summer Mini (trust me!)… and the return of the monthly card class PLUS Stampers & Scrappers Club! Need more information on any of the above? Please feel free to contact me!

Just checking…I'm hosting my monthly Information Evening this Friday at 7pm. If you're interested in discovering another income stream (and quite frankly, I'm sure that includes most of us!), you should attend this no cost, no obligation evening, here in Burlington! Please RSVP to get directions. If you aren't able to attend, we can always arrange to meet at another mutually convenient time, or you could attend next month. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi all. So. As I noted on the yamstamps facebook page, I apparently jinx myself every time I put a project up on the blog on the day that I am going to be on TV. The last few times I've done that, inevitably that's the project that does NOT get featured!!! ROFLOL. I owe you all a video, which I hope to work on this weekend.
ALSO:
Just a reminder that if you'll be attending the New Catalogue Open House & Rubber Garage Sale, please 1) RSVP and 2) Bring cash/cheque for your Garage Sale purchases. If you wish to place a new catalogue order, I can still accept credit card payment for that. Any questions, please contact me!

Don't Miss the 12 Weeks of Christmas! Sign up here!
