So much is in store for August! First reason that August is Awesome around here – Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Catalogue is now in effect. If you didn't get a copy, here's a link to the digital version, and here's a link to contact me if you are in Canada and would like a "hard copy" of it!
Second reason that August is Awesome is that there is a BONUS for new demonstrators. Purchase your starter kit for $125 (you get to choose what's in it) and receive the supplies for a super-cute Printer's Tray Project!
If you would like more information about this or not sure what to select for your $155 worth of merchandise in your starter kit, please contact me. I'll be happy to guide you through the process. You can also read more here. Being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is a great way to have fun, earn money doing something you enjoy, and (dare I say it) fund your own crafting habit?! LOL.
Third Reason August is Awesome – MDS2 is here!! Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio software (MDS for short) has been upgraded and updated. I just finished downloading my copy so will get to work on new tutorial videos ASAP.
BONUS Reason August is Awesome – Stampin' Up! has 31 digital downloads on sale, plus 31% discount on printing services during August! See more HERE.
*phew*
If you want more information or are keen to take advantage of any of these awesome happenings, please contact me!

So, internet connection was a bit spotty at times and my posts were postponed LOL. Here’s a few shots from around & about Stampin’ Up!’s Convention.
This is the distribution area of Stampin’ Up! (they were finishing lunch break when we were in this area). Cool to see how automated this system is – boxes are tagged and move in & out of the picking area on a conveyor belt, waiting to be filled with items and then sent on to us!
The theme for convention this year was “I Am” – loved the theme and the song. I posted the video on my facebook page here. The end of the video is the live performance portion at the opening session of convention.
2012 marks 10 years of Stampin’ Up! Canada and this was celebrated by having all the Canadian demonstrators march across the stage. Nice to be recognized that way by the company and other demonstrators 🙂 There was a special march for those of us who were demonstrators in the first year as well.
Here’s the upcoming special which is so fun! If you sign up as a demonstrator in August, you and your upline will both get this cute printer’s tray project – just add ink! I think I might have a special team get together in September to assemble these! More information on being a demonstrator in my group can be found here. Our “Eh” Team group has demonstrators across Canada and we’d love to have you join us – I hope to have demonstrators from each province and territory as part of our group.
I am enjoying being home again, and busy preparing for my upcoming weekend of events – “Eh” Team get together on Saturday, first Christmas Stamp a Stack on Sunday! I hope to see you soon at one of my events. If the dates don’t work for you – let me know and we can get a private class together for you and your friends. Keep your eyes on www.yamstamps.com for more news and events.

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends here at home or abroad. This is a retired Stampin' Up! stamp which I still love :) Hope that everyone gets the chance to relax with friends and family. So far we haven't made it to the local festivities, but there's still hope – and besides, there will be fireworks!! Have you ever noticed that we Canadians are more proud of being Canadian when we are NOT at home? It's something that I figured out when I was travelling abroad 😉 You can also see it in full force at the Stampin' Up! convention, where we tend to wear things that identify us as Canadians. I do think that we are getting less shy about being patriotic at home, too, though. My group of demonstrators goes by the name the "Eh" Team, to give a hint of our heritage!
There's plenty of reasons to smile as well – including a new Stampin' Up! special!
During July, you can purchase the exclusive stamp set "Reason to Smile" for only $5 when you place a merchandise order of $60! This set is only available July 1 – 31 and is limited to one set per person. Contact me if you have any questions or want assistance with placing your order – otherwise, if you're in Canada, you can place your order online HERE.

Say that ten times fast!! LOL. This is a card using Stampin' Up!'s Summer Smooches products that are available this month. I used the Bright Blossoms stamp set (colouring directly onto the rubber with the brush end of my Stampin' Write markers), some of the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper, plus Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon. These products are available this month, and then you will have to wait until June 1st when the new Idea Book & Catalogue comes out!
I also used the Brights Designer Series Buttons and the fantastic Labels Collection framelits to complete this card. I think the framelits are my favourite thing in the Occasions Mini Catalogue – which also, by the way, expires at the end of April. What are you waiting for? Don't miss out! Go shopping now or contact me if you have any questions!
