April Stamp & Chat!!

You're Invited..

April Stamp & Chat!!

Thursday, April 28th

7:00-10:00pm

With the weather getting warmer and everyone (including me!) wanting to be OUTSIDE instead of inside...I've combined TWO GREAT EVENTS into ONE FABULOUS EVENING!

As with every monthly Stamp & Chat, you will be creating SIX cards (2 each of 3 designs) for $15.00. This month we will be creating the cards from the

Springtime Vintage Purse & Card Class! 

You will have the CHOICE of making the making paper purse for only $5.00 more..plus you'll get to take home a Springtime Vintage Pack of Paper (you'll use one of the pieces for your purse...but the rest is YOURS)!!

But Wait...There's MORE!

Bring a Friend who has never stamped with me before and make an additional set of 3 cards FREE!

Here's what you'll be making!

You MUST pre-register by Thursday, April 14th

Please email or call me!

Remember...

You have the CHOICE of making JUST the cards for $15.00 OR making the purse for only $5.00 extra (which includes your pack of unused paper!)

I look forward to stamping with you!

CONVENTION!

Guess what I get to do today?

Register for the

Stampin' Up! Annual Convention

 in Salt Lake City, Utah!!!

Woo Hoo!

I've been wanting to attend Convention for literally YEARS...and THIS is going to be my year!

No kids, no husband, lots of stamping...what more could a girl want??

When I saw this video, I KNEW I had to be at the next Convention!  Want to take a peak...

Did that song get stuck in your head?? It sure is stuck in mine... 

If you EVER thought of purchasing the Starter Kit to either do Stampin' Up! as a job (like I do) or just to get all the Demonstrator Benefits.....like Convention...JUST DO IT!

You will SO not be disappointed! Contact me if you'd like to chat about it...

Now...just have to wait until July to get on that plane (sigh)

Brownie Try It Class

Tonight I have my first Stampin' Scouts Class for April...and a marathon of classes to follow this month!  I love stamping with kids.  They get such a kick out of being able to create and make something of  their own.

On the line up tonight is my Brownie "Hobbies Try It" Badge Class. If you're not familiar with Scouting, a Try It is the name of a special badge that the girls can earn.  In my hour and a half with a troop we can cover all the aspects of earning the badge....plus make a cute card and bookmark!!  What's extra special about this class is that I've also incorporated product...the girls get to keep and take home the stamp and the Stampin' Ink Spot that they used!  What a great way to get the next generation of Stampers started, huh?

Here is the sample for tonight's Class...

 What's important to me is to make sure my Brownies have SIMPLE, EASY TO DO projects. I want them to be successful and feel GREAT about their work.  This also applies to my adult home workshops too...but is very important with the girls,especially since Brownies are only in 2nd & 3rd  grades. 

Can you believe, some girls don't get to craft at home....I can't imagine!

So, my little troop tonight will have these at their place settings tonight when they come to their meeting...

A whole pack full of FUN and CRAFTY-NESS...I LOVE IT!  I heard that the girls are excited, and so am I! I can't wait to see their creations and ideas come to life!

Just a side note, if you are a GS Leader and are contemplating registering for a class with me...please contact me SOON!  I am pretty booked up until June and I have a waiting list started for Fall!!

Opportunity...

Since I have been a Stampin' Up! Deomonstrator, I've been given some great opportunities and have had some wonderful experences. 

One of which is a very special project that I am working on for a very special place.  I'm keeping all the details under wraps until the final project is approved, but I did find out today that I WILL be contributing to this fantastic organization for a very special event.  It was both a very proud and very humbling moment...

Here is a little sneak peak of the project I am working on.  I look forward to telling you all the details and showing you the finished piece(s) soon!

(Let's just say that the Strength & Hope Stamp Set couldn't have come at a better time!)
