Come get some answers! I'm hosting an Information Evening Wednesday, February 23rd at 7pm, here at my place in north Burlington. If you are curious about what being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator involves, please RSVP and join us that evening!
I love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, and have found it a great way to supplement my income (and support my stamping habit…but that's another angle altogether LOL). Sale-a-Bration is a great time to consider starting your own Stampin' Up! business – please join me on February 23rd to find out more! If you can't attend that evening, or aren't local to the Burlington area, please email me and we can make other arrangements to chat. I have demonstrators in my group from all over Canada and would love for you to be one of them! If you want to check out some information ahead of time…..click here.
Hope to see you then!

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?!

I'm off to a friend's demonstrator group get together today. I'm always grateful that Mo has included me in her group – since my original group is in British Columbia. Now that I'm living in Ontario, it's a bit far to go for get togethers.
We're doing a shoebox swap, so we each come up with a prototype card and supplies for each person to recreate it.
This was the first version of my card, using the Stampin' Up! set, Very Thankful. It's the Ronald McDonald House charity set – for each set sold, Stampin' Up! donates $2 to the RMHC.
I liked the card, but felt it was a bit blah. I asked my friend Sue (my original group leader!) to give me some input, so I amended it…
That, and some better editing of the photo lets the card "pop" a bit more, don't you think?
I added a layer of Melon Mambo onto the Rich Razzleberry card base. It's still a clean, simple design, but more substantial. (At least that's what I think!!).
In order to get the design and sentiment separate, I actually cut the rubber of the stamp before mounting it onto the wood. I like the ability to "custom mount" as I see fit!
I've mounted the images on one side. The label shows what's on the other side of the block…
This way, I can use just the images or just the sentiment…
I'm looking forward to getting together with _my_ group of demonstrators in September. If you'd like to be there, please take advantage of the current starter kit specials – which end on MONDAY. See here for more details & to get your starter kit….the password is ehteam. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Come get some answers! I'm hosting an Information Evening Wednesday, February 23rd at 7pm, here at my place in north Burlington. If you are curious about what being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator involves, please RSVP and join us that evening!
