Couple of calendar changes...

Hi!
Sorry to do this, but I need to change the calendar a bit. Due to changes in the Navy plan, my hubby is home for a while before heading out on deployment. Thanks for your understanding.

So here it is... the revised schedule for August, September & October:
August:
NO more classes are scheduled for this month

September:
3&4 Stamp-a-Stack! (Fri: 6:30-9:30pm or Sat: 10:30am-1pm)
We'll be using some of the newest colors, stamp sets and accessories as we craft 5 cards with envelopes. Class Fee is $15 all you need to bring is your own adhesive or rent mine for $1 more. Check back closer to the stamp-a-stack for pictures of the cards we will be making.

14 Stamp & Big Shot Clubs Meet (stop by anytime between 10am & 11:30am or 6 & 7:30pm)
Join the club! Each month we highlight a new technique. You will make a project and technique card for future reference. For a $30 monthly order you are guaranteed to receive the hostess benefits for a minimum of a $150 workshop during each 5-month club cycle!
There are still spaces in the 2 "Stampers $30" clubs and we are still in the process of forming a Big Shot Club (same idea, but you will work towards purchasing a Sizzix Big Shot and dies by paying $30/month for 5 months. And each month, someone receives the Big Shot and hostess benefits!)

21 Pizza, Music & Stampin'! (6-9pm)
Same idea as a Stamp-a-Stack, but with pizza and simpler cards! Join us for Papa Murphy's pizza, salad and cards! $15 for 5 cards (choose from 3 designs) and dinner. Bring your own adhesive or "rent" mine for $1 more.

28 Six Ways to Watercolor (10am-Noon or 6-8:30pm)
Does watercoloring strike fear into your crafting heart? Never fear! We will work through 6 watercoloring techniques as make a beautiful set of 8 cards, envelopes, a coordinating box AND your very own set of AquaPainters ($16.95) for a total of $40 for the class. [$30 if you already have AquaPainters and bring them with you to class]. One lucky attendee will win the Awash with Flowers set from Stampin' up!
Please RSVP and prepay by September 21st so I can get everything ordered and prepared in time.

October:
1&2 Stamp-a-Stack (Fri: 6:30-9pm or Sat: 10:30-Noon)
Come try new stamps, accessories and techniques as we make 5 all-occasion cards with envelopes. Class fee = $15. reserve your spot today! This is a great way to build up your cards so you are ready to share when the opportunity arises. bring your own adhesive or "rent" mine for $1 more.

4 Christmas Card Club Begins! (10-Noon or 6-8)
Each Monday between now and November 22nd we will meet and work on our Christmas Cards (and I mean "we"... I didn't do that last year and didn't get mine out in time). You will have an opportunity to use my non-consumables (Sizzix, punches, heat tool, other tools and even stamps). You will need to purchase your own cardstock, ink and accessories. These orders will be combined to create a "Christmas Card Club" (3C) workshop order. The hostess benefits will be used to purchase "prizes" for all participants.
This is a great way to get your cards done before Thanksgiving while visiting and without the stress that comes in December!
So be thinking about your cards now, the new Holiday Mini has been released so you can plan and be ready to order on October 4th (and start crafting October 11th).

12 Stamp & Big Shot Club Meet (10-Noon or 6-7:30pm)
Look at previous description of stamp clubs or email me for more information.

19 PMS (Pizza, Music, Stampin') Night (6-9pm)

Holland Happening 2010

Here are some pictures of our booth at Holland Happening this year. I had a wonderful time with my associates, Michelle Webster and Debby Bockman.

Here's my friend, Ms. Debby! She is a serious stamper, ladies!

Thanks for taking a peek! Hope to see you all at our upcoming events!

Big Shot Works Wonders with fabric!

Look at the pretty flower pin I made! My talented downline (a demonstrator on my team) guided us through this fun project at out last demonstrator meeting.

It is super simple! Just use the Stampin' Up! Flower Folds XL die for the Big Shot to cut 4 pieces of fabric, layer them and adhere them together. I sewed mine together, but you can also use a glue gun to put the layers together.

Once I wash this, it will take on a shabby-chic look. I'll be wearing this at Holland Happenings next weekend. Come check it out!

Two-Step into Spring!

From April 1-30 you can purchase a stamp set that will
appear in the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog!

Awash with Flowers - a set of 18 stamps is available for $39.95 for Wood-Mounted or $27.95 for Clear-Mounted
OR... you can earn this set for FREE when you host a $350 or more workshop!

With the clear-mounted option, 2-step stampin' just got a whole lot easier! I stamped this card without using a stamp-a-ma-jig. The images are not meant to match up perfectly, so there is less stress about stamp placement.

In addition to this great set, 4 other stamp sets will be 20% off in the month of April: Greenhouse Garden (p. 94), Fifth Avenue Floral (p. 98), Flower Fancy (p. 101) and Trendy Trees (p. 112).

So let's get 2-steppin' into spring!
