I had a great time at the Stampin' Up! Regional Training Event this past weekend in Hamilton. I love that Stampin' Up! comes to us (well, as often as possible LOL) to offer ideas, inspiration and training.
Right now, if you decide to join as a demonstrator, you will receive this Greenhouse Gala tote bag along with your starter kit items (featured in the photo, though your kit won't come packaged like this LOL). This is available until October 18th.
Since I attended the Hamilton Regional event, though, there's a SWEETER DEAL!! If you sign up with ME as a demonstrator before OCTOBER 10th, you'll also receive a free stamp set (on top of the great products in the starter kit!). The set will be featured in the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalogue, so it's a great tool for your business. (Plus, who doesn't like free stamps?!). I can't show you images of the set itself since it hasn't been released…but I can share some very cute projects that were made with it… It's called "Eat Chocolate" (don't you love it already?!)
Love this one…so true in my life…
ahhh…chocolate with a little "bling" too, who could ask for more?! LOL
If you are interested in finding out more about the great opportunity in having your own Stampin' Up! business, please contact me (we can meet over a hot chocolate?!), check out the page here or RSVP to attend my next Information Evening – Wednesday, October 13th** (note changed date) at 7pm here in Burlington. If you're all ready to order your starter kit, I can talk you through the online process!
Three of my downline (demonstrators signed up with my team) were able to attend – here they are – Barb, Melissa and Karen! Since my downline is spread through Ontario & British Columbia, it's always great to have the opportunity to meet up in person. I spent most of the day chatting with friends that I've made throughout my years with Stampin' Up! (I know, you're shocked…me spending time chatting…LOL)
I always take advantage of the opportunity to get my photo taken with Shelli Gardner, co-founder and CEO of Stampin' Up! – since I've been a demonstrator for 8 years now, it's always nice to have a current shot. I'll have to do a scrapbook page of the photos throughout the years, I think!
(It was a little chilly in the Convention Centre, so Shelli threw on her jacket… I was a little less prepared so toughed it out LOL).
Regionals are definitely my favourite Stampin' Up! demonstrator event – they're a little smaller size-wise, but they've still got great inspiration & information. Fingers crossed that there will be another one within driving distance soon!! Hope you'll consider joining my team – then we can make the road trip together?!

Add a new dimension to your card making with sound!
One of the new products in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalogue is pre-recorded and/or recordable cards. The pre-recorded card plays an instrumental version of "We wish you a Merry Christmas". The recordable card lets you record a message up to 10 seconds and includes a "lock" feature once you've got the perfect message. This is FANTASTIC for sending to long distance family and friends!
Cover the cards with cardstock or Designer Series Paper and embellish them for an even more custom look. Cards measure 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and fit in our padded envelopes. Contact me to place your order, or place it online HERE.

A busy day yesterday! Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to the Open House & Retired Rubber Garage Sale yesterday! It was great to see so many friends, picking up their new catalogues and picking up some bargains in the meantime. (Thrilling to get more space in the craft area for new Stampin Up! product for me, too!!! LOL).
If you weren't able to make it out yesterday, don't panic – just contact me for a copy of the new catalogue and we can make arrangements to get one of these in your hands! (Pose, at left, is optional LOL)
Thanks to Tom, the intrepid videographer/photographer who dropped by and took a few photos (I was too busy chatting to take some of my own, so this was great!).
This was fairly early on in the shopping experience, the table was MUCH emptier later on 🙂
(Not sure why I have such a goofy look on my face, not enough caffeine? Actually, maybe too much LOL).
(Notice that everyone else is hard to ID, protecting the innocent…..)
By the way, my summer classes are filling quickly, so if you were thinking of joining us, contact me ASAP; same for Stampers & Scrappers Club that starts in September.

Happy Canada Day!! I hope that you are able to spend time with family & friends today. It seems like July 1st came upon me quickly this year, perhaps because the last day of school was only a couple of days ago!
July 1st is always a happy day, with it being a holiday and all… and of course, there's another reason for this….
Happy New Stampin' Up! Catalogue Day!!
I hope to see you this Saturday, July 3rd from 10 am til noon at my home in Burlington for the New Catalogue Open House! I'll have copies of the new catalogue for you, and everyone who places an order will be entered into a draw to win the hostess benefits for that day's orders! Plus – the Rubber Garage Sale – I'm selling off my retired product – there will be stamps and inks, markers, and more! Contact me for directions and to reserve your copy of the catalogue!

Starting to organize everything for my New Catalogue Open House / Rubber Garage Sale – this Saturday, July 3rd in Burlington! Please contact me to get specific directions. This is the opportunity to pick up your new Stampin' Up! catalogue, browse for retired goodies and place an order. Everyone who places an order for new catalogue items on Saturday will be entered into a draw to win the hostess benefits for the day's orders. If you can't make it Saturday, contact me and we'll make arrangements to get you your copy of the new catalogue ASAP.
Stampin' Up! will also have a new starter kit format as of July 1st, with new content. I'll be sure to have complete information at the Open House and will post here as well; and while the HST may be a bit of bad news elsewhere, the good news for new demonstrators is that the starter kit will be totally tax free! (Previously, the starter kit was subject to PST). If you are a former demonstrator, there's a "rejoin" option that is extremely inexpensive and works on the premise that you still might have some Stampin' Up! product lying around your home ;) Contact me for more details!
