Sep 18, 2013 | Events, specials, Stampin' Up!
So in all the craziness of the past little while, including the largest club gathering to date, I forgot to shut down registration to the Thankful Mini Scrapbook and Hallowe’en Banners classes!! SOOOOOOO….I will take registrations until the end of tomorrow (THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH) and then close down the registrations for these events. You will still be able to register for the October Card Class, October Christmas Card Class and Christmas Banner offerings for a while, but you can bet I will be paying a bit better attention to my calendar!! LOL.
Visit the YamStamps Events page to register and use your credit card to pay, or contact me if you have questions or would like to pay by cheque or cash.
Aug 28, 2013 | Business Opportunity, cards, rubber stamping, specials, TV/Video/Web/Tech
So I thought since it’s still Wednesday here…I would share one of the projects I created for my appearance on the Morning Live TV show. This was a gatefold wedding invitation, with the invitation information printed on Whisper White cardstock and adhered inside the Marina Mist card. On air, we finished the creation of the belly band. This ensemble features the Summer Silhouettes set, one of my new favourites. It takes me back to two step stamping, where two stamps are used to create a single image. The flower stem is one stamp, and the flowers are another. This was what drew me to Stampin’ Up!’s products over 11 years ago – before Stampin’ Up! even came to Canada! (The joys of having American friends, or friends with American addresses!). When the opportunity came to Canada shortly afterwards, you can bet it was a no-brainer for me to become a demonstrator – and I was one of the first ones to do so, and still going strong!
So a couple of reminders, along that line – if you’re interested in becoming a demonstrator, the Pick a Kit promotion is on until August 31st. You only have a few days left! You can get a project kit for free along with the $155 worth of merchandise that you select. See the details here or contact me for more information…or go here to start the online sign up process! My group of demonstrators includes people from all over Ontario and out to British Columbia and we’d love to have you join us.
So…I’ve posted about this almost everywhere else – twitter, facebook…so sharing the joy here as well…after my spot on Morning Live, I ran into Adam van Koeverden, who was on his way in! I am pretty sure I babbled, but managed to get a photo taken with him. It was such a thrill to meet him – after having watched him compete in the Olympics and win medals in kayaking…hoping some of that athletic greatness rubs off on me during my half marathon this weekend!!!
And as I said on my facebook page….kind of glad this happened AFTER my appearance, because I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been all too coherent otherwise LOL!
Aug 27, 2013 | MDS, specials
It’s that time again! Stampin’ Up! has released the next free digital desktop calendar – this one features the Old School September Digital kit. The kit itself has 33 digital brushes, 12 Designer Series Papers and 14 embellishments in a retro styling for Back to School!
Every Tuesday is digital release day, and here are all the releases for August 27th. The other bonus with digital items – no shipping costs and instant gratification – download it right away and get started on projects, in MDS or in other photo editing software (like Photoshop). Don’t forget that you can do a free trial of MDS as well (though the $24.95 sticker price makes it fairly accessible!).

Aug 1, 2013 | Announcements, Seasonal Catalogue, specials
Happy Holidays! It’s here and active – Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Catalogue. It’s never to early to start getting ready for that season….though I say that every year and somehow feel like I’m rushing around in the days just before Christmas…. Lots of great ideas and products in here to get you into the spirit! Click on the image to download the electronic version of the catalogue. If you haven’t received a hardcopy in the mail, please contact me and I’ll be happy to get you your very own copy! Click here to browse online in my Stampin’ Up! store– you can shop 24/7 and have it shipped directly to your door, anywhere in Canada!
The beginning of this month also brings a new “Best of” set – and it again gets us looking ahead to get ready for a season – in this case, it’s the “Best of Halloween” (on a side note, am I the only one who feels funny spelling it without the apostrophe that I grew up with? Hallowe’en??). Remember that each of the Best of Sets is available until March 31, 2014, and once you purchase 6 “Best of” sets, you get to pick a set for free!
There’s another new product available but I think it deserves a post all of its own, so come back tomorrow for more details!
Jul 31, 2013 | specials, TV/Video/Web/Tech
The end of July brings mixed emotions for me – one month over in summer (boo) but a long weekend (yay). Stampin’ Up! has specials that are ending (boo) but new things on the horizon or that are staying around (yay). One of those new things is the latest in the series of free downloads! This is the desktop calendar download for August – featuring the new About to Blossom Digital Kit which is one of the latest new digital offerings. Get it now to decorate your screen!
Other exciting things to get ready for…..the Holiday Catalogue and some new products for purchase that will all arrive tomorrow – I will have live links up to make your August shopping more easy 😉 and don’t forget that the August Monthly Card Class takes place August 7th. Please register for the class by August 5th so that I can have enough supplies prepared. Last but not least, my monthly newsletter is coming out August 6th, so be sure to be on my mailing list to get it!
*phew* that was a lot of work (boo) but now I’m going to go papercraft for a while (yay)!!
