Twelve Days of Christmas Class - November 14th

Do you love the look of hand-made Christmas cards, but think you'll never have the time to get them done?  Then join me for "Twelve Days of Christmas", and leave with 12 beautiful hand-crafted cards to send to your nearest & dearest.  This class is simple enough for beginners, but more experienced stampers will have lots of opportunity for creative expression!

Class Date:  Saturday, November 14th, 10am-12pm (3 spots left) OR 7-9pm (Now Full)

Location:  My Home in Noblesville, Indiana

Class Fee:  $25 (Cash or Check)

** Space at the table is limited, so email me today to save your spot! **

If you love new card ideas...

If you love new card ideas, you'll love today's post!  I know it's been quite a while since I've blogged, so I figured I'd make up for it with LOTS of card samples and a reminder about my upcoming class.

First things first, you must ACT NOW if you want a seat at our great Make-N-Take Class on September 26th.  We've been planning for months, and the "super secret special stamping projects" are truly spectacular!  This is a large event, but we are more than 70% full with fewer than 20 seats remaining.  The registration deadline is THIS WEEK, so you need to PRINT & MAIL your registration form & payment ASAP if you want one of the remaining seats.  Click here for the registration form...

And of course, here are the rest of the sample cards that I promised.  (Click on each thumbnail image to see the full-size photo.)  They all feature the "Sunny Day" Simply Scrappin' Kit and the "Sincere Salutations" stamp set.  These were bonus cards that we made at my scrapbooking class last month, in addition to the great Sunny Day Mini Album.  Enjoy!

 

Got Swaps?

 

I couldn't help but share this photo--Isn't this just SOOOO cute?!  These two "Got Swaps?" babies were photographed at Stampin' Up! Convention 2009, which I unfortunately didn't get to go to.  But it's a great reminder of WHY I became a Demonstrator, which is the relationships & sharing that happens between all of us stamp-addicted ladies.  There is nothing better than swapping ideas and making new friends, whether it's with my local demonstrator group or with total-strangers-turned-new-friends at Stampin' Up! events like Regionals & Leadership Conference.

We've got two great Demonstrator Starter Kit options right now, including a Mini Starter Kit that's only $85 and perfect for you if you've already got a lot of SU! products from your time as a customer.  Or, if you purchase the bigger $199 Starter Kit, you'll be rewarded with six FREE In Color ink pads & an assortment pack of In Color card stock!

If you'd like to find out more about becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, please email me or give me a call today.  Or if you'd like to check things out online, you can head straight to my info page to watch our "First Impressions" video & sign up right online (password "Creative Outlet"). 

Either way, I'd love to add you to my team!

Blog Candy Winner

Last week, I posted two card samples and asked you, my readers, to tell me which one you liked better.  You unanimously picked sample "B", which also turns out to be the version that I chose to use for my swaps at our last Demo Group Meeting.  And since it was so popular, it just might become the "make & take" card at my upcoming workshop on Saturday March 28th  :-)

As promised, I'm also giving away some Blog Candy--a selection of 12 sheets of 6x6" Designer Series Paper from the now-retired Patterns Pack.  To determine the winner, I used the www.random.org Random Sequence Generator.  And the winner is...

Comment #6: 

I like B. I find the horizontal stripe competes less with the focal image making it a well rounded design.
