Stampin' Up! Promotion! A Valentine's Day Bundle!

I'm a bit late with this ...had some trouble figuring out how to add a picture from another web source to my Blog. Grrr.

But, with the help of some of my demo friends (thanks Alesha, Becca & Rebecca :o) - it worked!

This January deal is pretty sweet actually! You get a bundle of stuff to create fantastic Valentine's Day projects at 20% off the regular price!

Here's what you get in the bundle:

Happy Heart Day Stamp Set (110089)

Real Red 5/8 " Grosgrain (109052)

Medium Cellophane Bags (102757)

Regal Rose 5/8 " Grosgrain Ribbon (109056)

Regular Price for all of these items would normally be $49.94

Promotional Price for January only is $39.94 !!!

And remember, if you sign up for my class on January 21st, where the projects are based on this bundle - you attend the class for FREE! You'll need to RSVP by next Wednesday January 9th if you plan to attend.

Stampers 6 Club

Hi There Ladies!

Just wanted to re-post re. my Stampers 6 club as I've slightly modified it in light of the changes with pricing / catalogue etc.

A Stampers 6 Club put simply is an easy way for you to purchase Stampin' Up! supplies at an affordable pace each month for 6 months PLUS earn free Hostess Rewards just for doing so. Typically, one would need to host a home party or spend a lot of $$ to earn hostess benefits so by being a member of a club, you reap the rewards with little to no effort!

Here's how it works:

• you receive a FREE Spring/Summer catalogue just for joining
• you place a minimum $40 order by the 15th of each month (you can do this by email or phone or in person and you are not required to pay for the order until it is delivered to you)
• you have the option to attend a club event each month at which you'll get to make either a full 12x12 scrapbook page or 2 cards
• NEW - I will also teach 1 new project at the club event each month and if you CANNOT make the club event date - I will make your project for you and include it in your order bag!!! So, you'll never miss out on the fun!
• you will receive 10% off your order (regardless of the amount) during your club month
• you will also get a FREE inspiration sheet in your order bag each month

Please contact me at lisaburns@rogers.com if you are interested in joining - I'm hoping to start this club THIS month!

Cheers!

My First Official Team Meeting in 2008

And so in keeping with one of my New Year's Resolutions, I booked monthly meetings for all the members of my Stampin' Up! team from Jan-Jun and tonight marked our very first meeting!

Really though, I don't think we could even call it a meeting as it was more like a social get-together to STAMP! But, I have to say that there were some pretty good tips shared tonight as well as lots of creative ideas for future projects & classes!

Thank you Becca & Rebecca for coming out on this bitter cold night. I had so much FUN that I'm excited to start planning for our February meeting!

I did take some pics of the ladies working away at their project BUT they really didn't turn out that great (sorry ladies but you'll thank me later when you see them). My camera really stinks and I missed the great Future Shop Boxing Day sale on a Canon!!! sigh....

The final product did turn out though... so here it is for all to see! Back to work tomorrow but hopefully I'll have my 12x12 scrapbook pages for Saturday completed tomorrow night to show you - there is still room for that class if you wish to join!

Simply Scrappin' Baby 12x12 Class - January 26th

Mornin' Everyone!

I know this post may seem a bit early to everyone but it really isn't when you consider this is a pre-order class and so by popular request, I have planned for a 12x12 Simply Scrappin' Kit class that focus on BABIES!!

Included below are samples I've recently made up using the 'Boy' kit called Special Delivery (109648) - since I have a son, I knew I was getting this kit anyway and really enjoyed my time playing with it! I do plan, however to order & prepare pages with the 'Special Delivery Girl' kit so this class will address all BABY needs! Just visualize these samples with Apricot Appeal, Groovy Guava & River Rock until my kit arrives and I can make up these samples :o)

Here are the class details - be sure to RSVP if you wish to attend. All kits will need to be ordered by January 16th in order for us to be assured that the kits will arrive on time for the class! You are not required to pay for the kit/class up front however if you register for this event, the kit will be yours to keep as if placed as a regular customer order.

Saturday January 26, 2008 - 12x12 Simply Scrappin' Class / Baby (Preorder Required)

By attending this class, you will get to make 4 full 12x12 page layouts, or 6 full 6x6 page layouts or 8 cards with envelopes plus, you leave the class with all that's left of your SS Kit - and there will be lots left over!! You do not need to bring your baby pictures for this class. All pages will be designed to allow you to fill the pages with your pictures at a later time. Even if you don't scrapbook, you can purchase the kit for cards & projects with a baby theme!

IMPORTANT - this is a preorder class. Each guest will need to RSVP in order for their kit to be ordered to arrive on time for the class. You will be primarily using your kit contents for your projects but I will be providing some 'extras' to the pages using my supplies.

Class fee which includes the cost of the SS Kit: $40

Class fee with kit & top up order of $20+: $35

Class fee with kit & top up order of $40+ order: just the cost of the kit ($30) - class is FREE!

Please RSVP no later than Wednesday January 16th if you wish to attend this class!

Above are the 2 2-page layouts that the 'Boy' kit participants would make. I didn't think the pics turned out too well so I've shown each page shot individually below:

Until next time...
