New Year, new clubs!!!

Wow... hard to believe that we are quickly approaching 2008!!  I'm planning my clubs right now, and just wanted to update everyone!  I haven't seen the new catalogue yet, so the numbers may change slightly, but this is the basic idea:

Stampers 6 - This will be a six month club.  You will act as the hostess during one of these months and you will not have to place an order and you will receive a minimum of $30 in free product plus a leveled stamp set.  Your monthly order is $45 before shipping and taxes.  Each month we will be making 4 cards based on a theme.  January - birthday, February - thank you, March - thinking of you, April - special occasion, May - Christmas (scary, I know!), June - birthday.  Each month you will make 4 of the same card to get a nice stash of cards on hand or to pass along as a gift.  Envelopes are included as well!  If you cannot make it to a club night your supplies will be included with the order. 

Stampers 6 with a Twist - If you are interested in slowly building your stamping supplies but don't have the time to commit to a certain night a month this is the club for you!!!  You will act as the hostess during one of the six months whereby you don't have to place an order and will receive $30 in free merchandise (minimum) and a leveled hostess set.  Your monthly order is $45 before shipping and taxes BUT you will receive 10% off since you won't be coming to my house.  You simply email me your order by the 15th of the month, I place the order and you pick it up and pay me when it comes in!  So you save for being non commited!!!

Scrappers 6 - If scrapbooking is your thing, or you'd like it to be your thing, this is a great club!  We get together one night a month and make 6 12x12 layouts!!!  Yup, 6 layouts so in 6 months you'll have 36 scrapbook pages completed!!!!  This monthly 2 hour class costs a minimum order of $45 before shipping and taxes.  This is a great deal as you keep the product and there virtually is no class fee!  The class is also created based on your needs and requests!  If you are a non demo you will also receive a level one hostess set on our final month as a thank you.

Marker Club - Do you have your eye on the SU markers?  They are SWEET!!!!  Love them!!!!  This is a four month club that enables you to get ALL the markers, a case, a level one hostess set and some free merchandise.  I can't commit on prices as I don't have a new catalogue as of yet but a typical club spends about $65 per month (including shipping and taxes) and one month you are the hostess and receive extra free merchandise.  At the end of the four months we will get together for a class to make 6 projects using the markers in different ways.

I will post some pictures of the 'stuff' I've been working on  lately soon, I PROMISE!!  You know this time of the year... busy busy busy!!

LAST DAY!!!

WOW... it's hard to believe that today's the last day for free shipping, and the paper party promotion from Stampin' Up...

I'm putting in one last order tonight at about 10pm, so if there's any last minute item(s) you'd like, please email me before 9 tonight!!

SALE alert!!

So, for the month of November, SU is offering FREE shipping to Canada... LOVE that, eh??  My Christmas gift to all of you... an additional 10% off your order, if you place your order by Sunday, Nov. 25.  WOO HOO!!! YAY sales!!  (sorry, Canadian orders only)

Oh, and did you think I'd fallen off the face of the earth??  I felt like I did!!  Want to see what I've been doing??  (I'm gonna show you anyway, so you might as well say yes, Heather, we really want to see... please, please, please show us!!)  SO... I've been busy making these awesome little 'gift bags'... I'll even show you how I did it!!

You need a 12x12 sheet of paper, and a bone folder REALLY helps, and score 2 ends at 1 inch, and score down the middle at 6 inches.

Then turn the page 90 degrees, and score at 3 1/4 from each end.

Stick down the 1 inch border on each end.

Turn the page 90 degrees, and fold the 3 1/4 inch scores towards the middle, and adhere the seam together.

Fold the middle score line, so that the 'good' side (the one without the seam) is on the INSIDE.

Then fold one side back onto itself, and line up the other side so that the tops are even.

Stick the 2 sides together, and embellish as desired!!!  VOILA!!!  You've made a really cool double pocket bag!!  HOW COOL IS THAT????  This idea isn't mine, but I did change the scoring dimensions a bit, so that the bag was a bit bigger... you could also just make a 1/2 inch border at the top of the bag, but then you don't get to see as much of the pretty 2 sided paper!!

So, what do you think????

THE MOST EXCITING THING!!!!

Ok, ok, maybe not the most exciting thing, but it's pretty cool!!!!!

Quick Update

Hello, and welcome to crazy Friday.

Things have been really crazy around here, my youngest has been sick (or should I say SSIIIIIICCCCKKKK) with a terrible chest cold, so I have been off work the past couple of days looking after him.  I think he's on the mend now....

Tomorrow, I'm participating in the Mount Hope Craft Show... stop by if you are looking for some great stuff (not all of it's mine... last year there was truly something for everyone!!)  My friend, Heather Summers is coming with me, so we will have a good assortment of stamped goodies!!!

Then, after the craft show, its off to the London Christian Academy Coffee house and Silent Auction... again, lots of nice stuff, coffee and YUMMY desserts!!  Should be fun.  Poor Pete has to stay home with sick Rogan, but I honestly think he is a bit happy about that.  HHmmmm...

AND... the best news, Stampin Up is having a SALE!!!  I LOVE SALES......buy 3 packages of scrapbook paper and get a fourth package FREE!!!  This includes all the monochromatic packages, those in the mini and any in the catalogue.  You can check these papers out online, at http://www.stampinup.com/ca/enc/default.asp .   For anyone that takes advantage of this offer by Monday, November 5th I will assemble a double pocket bag with ribbon handles with my own paper as a thank you!!!!  Please email me at nursehb8@hotmail.com if you are interested!  This is a great deal for card makers, scrapbookers and generally any papercrafting!!!

Thanks for checking in!!!

WOW... busy, busy, busy

OK.. so things have been crazy around here!!  If you don't know me, I'm not athletically inclined AT ALL.  Apparenty it must skip a generation, because both of my older kids have made competitive teams for sports.  I'm very proud, don't get me wrong, but MAN, it sure is cutting into my stamping time!!!

I haven't been posting often, as I'm busy getting ready for the next month, which is CRAZY busy.  I helped my friend Heather S with her fund raiser (what a super fun day, and a great turnout!!) on the weekend.  Then for this weekend on Saturday, I signed up to be in the Mount Hope Christmas craft show, and then I'm on the auction committee for the silent auction at the kids' school.  (OK... it's not that much work for me, cuz my super-organized friend Carolyn organizes it, and she just bosses me around!!)  Then on the 16, don't forget to sign up for the Christmas Card SAS!!  On the 22, LCA is hosting Deck the Halls, which is a Christmas shopping day, where my other super-organized friend, Evri, has organized a whole bunch of really great vendors, with some really unique stuff to all be in one place at a time.  If you want to know more, just email me, and I'll give you some more info.

SO... that being said, do you want to see some of the stuff I'm making for these events?????    I have some more stuff, too, but I don't have pictures yet.  So, I have snowman ornaments that I CASED from Roxy, Cupcake kits that I CASED from Heather S, countdown clipboards that I CASED from Heather S as well.  Then I have an indoor s'mores tin, which has all the fixin's to make s'mores in the house, with candles!!!  What a scream, EH?  I also have some movie night tins, (again, Heather S) that have popcorn, drinks, licorice and other candy in there, and a $10 gift card for Blockbuster Video.  Sounds like a great teacher gift!!  And the last picture... wanna know what that is??  It's an idea that I adapted from something I saw on Splitcoaststampers.  It's a coaster, covered with DSP, and decorated... the library card will be used like a wish list, with each of my kids' names as the title, and every year, they'll write their top 'wish' for Christmas.  I made them into things you could hang, so they'll go on the tree every year... cool, EH????

So, I haven't been forgetting about blogging, I've just been kinda busy.  Please keep checking back, and leave a comment if you stop by, OK???  I'm needy!!!!

Have a great day!!

Christmas Stamp A Stack!!!

OK!!  Sorry I've not posted in FOREVER (ok, a week) but between all the kids' activities, and plus I've been sick... (just ask the poor ladies that had to listen to me croak away at the AMAZING quarterly meeting on Monday night... more about that later...)

BUT...  YAY, I'm done making the samples that we'll be making at the Christmas SAS fundraiser at the London Christian Academy!!

Here's the cards we'll be making: 

You can click on the photos to see them bigger.  We'll be making 3 of each of these cards, for a total of 15 cards, and the cost of the night will be $35.  There will be door prizes again, and it was SO much fun last time!!!  Please email me at nursehb8@hotmail.com before Nov. 8 to confirm your spot!!  So, what do you think???  Aren't these cards just SO cute???  Don't you want to come and make them???  Of course you do!!

If you can't make it, you can still purchase a 'kit to go'.  All the stamping is done for you, all you have to do is assemble everthing, and colour!  It's the same price as if you came to the event, ($35), and 1/2 the fee goes directly to LCA!!

Looking forward to another great evening!!

Stampin' Up! Regionals!

So, on September 20, I got to attend the Hamilton Regional seminar.  It was FANTASTIC!!  There were about 350 other 'crazy stamping ladies' there, and we were swapping and stamping like crazy!!  My friend, Heather S did a WOW presentation, and it WAS such a wow!!  There's a tutorial on her blog here of the cool project she did.  She even figured out that you can set the new SU jumbo eyelets inside each other, so they look nice on both sides of the project!!!  How much of a genius is she?  It's no wonder she's my stamping hero.

SO... wanna see some of my swaps????

I CASED this one from here... I didn't really change much, either. 

I used Big on Christmas, and Christmas Chatter jumbo wheel.  Basic Black ink, and markers to colour in the letters, and the snowman. 

I made 2 different swaps, and this is the one that most people wanted!!  I was shocked, because it was sooooo easy....   Just white cardstock, and stamped in Baroque Burgundy, and Always Artichoke.  Then I punched out each snowflake, once with the 3/4 inch circle punch, then in the other colour, I used the 1/2 inch punch.  I popped up the smaller image on a dimensional, and stamped the greeting in Burgundy and Artichoke.  The quality of this picture isn't the greatest, sorry about that!!

And here's a swap from Martha:   Isn't it sooo cute??  Well, maybe someday I'll edit more of the pictures from Regionals... I know I'll show you a couple of cool tricks they did there at some point.  I just need to get some time to photograph the steps!!

OK... that's all for now!!!  Hope you had a great weekend!!  Mine was full of kids' sports... soccer, and basketball!!  Oh, and the halloween class that was so much fun!!!
