Congratulations Krista/Cheryl!

These ladies won my door prize at the Aylmer Perfect Party held in April! I didn't want to post the announcement on my blog until I had had a chance to deliver their order and hand over their winnings - which was today!

So CONGRATS ladies - I know you're going to enjoy all of your new things!!

If you didn't win in Aylmer, don't be sad... you have yet another chance to win one of these cute little purses filled with Stampin' Up! products (and chocolate) at the next Perfect Party! We will be in Tillsonburg on Saturday May 23rd from 1230-400pm, and I will have lots of samples, my surplus sale and of course... another prize for a lucky visitor!

Hope to see you there! Until then, here's a look at the prizes up close...

Look What I'm Giving Away In May!!

I finally ordered this amazing product for myself and as I was ordering it I decided that May was a very good time to treat my customers to a special opportunity to win one for themselves - so I ordered two and I'm giving one of them away this month!!! In case you haven't seen it yet, the product shown above is the Circle Scissor Plus - and while I have only used mine a few quick times this week, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I plan to give it more of a workout this weekend and share some projects with you next week so that you see what it can do!

I bet you're wondering how you win this? I'd be happy to share... but you'll have to email me to find out :o) Thought this would be a fun way to see who's out there keeping up with my blog :o)

lisaburns@rogers.com

For those of you on my customer mailing list - you've already received an email with my May Class schedule. I will be following it up with another email that tells you exactly how you can earn ballots to win this fabulous prize!

I can't wait to give it away!!!

Stamp-A-Stack Sample #3

Here's the last project from my recent HIS/HER stamp-a-stack!

This card uses the stamp set 'And Many Mower' and To The Nines Speciality Designer Paper! It also uses some punches 'Photo Corners Punch' and 'Key Tag Punch'. Similar to the project from Monday, guests that attended this stamp-a-stack got to practise the Blender Pen technique!

On the inside of the card, I stamped the splatter image from the stamp set 'Itty Bitty Backgrounds' using Always Artichoke ink. We also used more of the Specialities DP to make a gift card holder! When you take the gift card out - the saying 'HAPPY FATHER'S DAY is displayed!

I love the size of this card - 6 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches, which fits perfectly inside our Open Ended Envelopes! The one shown here is in Very Vanilla, however SU! only sells the Whisper White now (107286) in the current Spring/Summer IB&C.

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to check back tomorrow to find out about a special offer for May - exclusively from me to my customers! There will be a million ways to earn ballots for this special May prize - a chance for anyone to win!! I'm so excited to show you!!

Stamp-A-Stack Sample #2

Hi There! Looks like it's shaping up to be a wonderful Monday - at least in terms of weather :o) Thought I would share another sample from my HIS/HER stamp-a-stack this past Friday night. I really like the set 'And Many Mower' from the Occasions Mini!

I actually WON this set during my upline's door prize draw at our last Quarterly Meeting - THANKS ALICIA!! Boy, was that perfect timing for my HIS/HERS class :o)

This card uses Sahara Sand & Chocolate Chip Cardstock as well as some of the Speciality Designer Paper 'To The Nines'. This paper is fantastic for masculine cards, scrapbook pages or any craft project for that special guy in your life!! I also used both star punches, the large star and the small star and layered them together with a Brad. The technique used on the card is done with a Blender Pen.

Don't forget that there is still time to take advantage of the APRIL STAMPIN' UP! Promotion! Pick out anything you want from the $12 & Under page (page 208) in the Spring/Summer IB&C FREE with any $50 order from the Occasions Mini!

Have a great day - be back tomorrow with the next installment of 2 FOR 1 TUESDAYS!!!
