If you were one of my followers from this site, would you be so kind as to go and follow me at my new site, pretty please?  I'm devastated that I can't seem to take my followers with me.   This transition has not gone smoothly at all, dealing with all sorts of issues with the transition..  Thanks for your patience!   ~Chanda

Big Shot Hero!

Oh, my gosh!  I found the funniest Big Shot video online!  Apparently, there was a contest to see who could come up with the best commercial and this gal, Linda Heller, won!  I'd say she earned it! Take a minute to watch it...it's hysterical!

The new Holiday Mini Catalog is here!

Ordering can begin today on the new Holiday Mini!  Click HERE to see what's inside!

Pop Up Card Class Saturday, September 18th at 2pm.

I am so excited!  I am going to have a POP UP card class!  The class will be held on Saturday, September 18th at 2pm at my home in Bellevue.  The cost is $10 and seating is limited.  Please RSVP now to reserve a spot.  If you are a club member or someone who has taken a class from me before, you may pay at the class.  If you are a newcomer,  I require prepayment, so please contact me to make arrangements for that.  We will be making 3 really cool cards, starting with a very simple one and moving up to the more difficult.  Refreshments will be served.  You may RSVP for this class HERE.

August Stamp Club Projects

I thought I would take a minute or two to post the stamp club projects we made for August. It occurred to me that I haven't posted any in awhile.  

 I didn't have a lot of time to prepare for club this month because of all the classes I held, so I had to do some necessary case'ing! While I typed that the designs were 'inspired by', I think I probably should have put 'entirely copied from', LOL!   The Apple Blossom card (top left) was inspired by Nance Leedy.   The Vintage Ornament Stencil card (top right) was inspired by Ronda Camire.  The little Garden Gala DSP Owl notebooks were inspired by Vicky Burdick.  Thank you all for your time, talent and willingness to share!

Candyyyyyy girl! I won, I won, I won!

Can you tell I'm happy?!  I was so excited to win the blog candy from Ann Schach's blog!  I rec'd it today and opening it was like Christmas!  Please hop over to Ann's awesome blog to check out her outstanding work!  Her cards are stunning and she always tells such great stories to go along with her posts.  Please be sure to leave her a nice comment.  She deserves it.  Thanks so much, Ann!  I really appreciate it!

September Stamp Club Schedule (Note new time for daytime club)

Our next Stamp Club meeting will be on Tuesday, September 14th at 11am (PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE SINCE MY CHILD IS NOW IN SCHOOL)  for the daytime club
and Weds, September 15th at 6pm for the nighttime club.  Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend!  If you are a member of the club, there is absolutely no charge to you to make the projects.  If you are a non-member thinking of joining, I always give one FREE try-it-on-for-size class.  You are welcome to come and make the projects with us at no charge.  This will give you an idea of what we do and will let you decide if you want to join without having to commit beforehand. All I ask for is an RSVP at least two days ahead of time!

Those who have already taken the free class, but aren't sure they want to commit may attend, but you will be

charged a $10 materials fee each time.  If you order the club minimum ($25), the fee will be waived.  However, you will not be eligible for any of the great Hostess Benefits our club members enjoy unless you commit to join.  Just one more reason to join our fun club!

What benefits do my club members receive?

• A FREE Idea Book and Catalog (A $10 value)
• FREE mini catalogs and Sale-A-Bration Brochures throughout the year
• A FREE Technique and Idea Book.  This book has mini examples of the technique we learned that month.  It also has the instructions so you can recreate it for yourself later.
• FREE projects each month.  NO materials fees.  Just come and create 2 to 3 make and take projects!
• You get to use my materials, my punches, my ink, ribbon, etc....  You only have to bring your own adhesive, scissors and catalog to each meeting.
• Learn a new technique each month!
• Learn to use a Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and make some awesome 3D projects!
• Rotating Hostess Benefits!  When it's your turn to hostess, you will receive a minimum of $15 in free product and a minimum of one free stamp set!  The more members we have, the more you earn!  This is a good reason for you to join and bring a friend!  You will know ahead of time when it's your turn, so you can bring a friend or two, or collect outside orders to boost your sales! 
• Earn a spot on my 50/50 board.  For every $50 you spend, you will get a spot on my 50/50 board!  When it's filled up, I will pick one lucky winner who will earn a $50 spending spree...I'll even pay the taxes and shipping and handling, making it a $58 value! (Note: $50 winnings cannot be added to orders in order to earn free hostess products/hostess sets.  Anything over $50 is paid by winner)
• A FREE stamp pad of your choice if you bring a friend along who joins!
• Flexibility. Can't make it to club?  There are two to choose from and you may attend either!
• Friendship!  There's something about crafting that brings all women together!  We have fun in our club!  We have a nice group of people who all get along well.  I think you'll really like us!
• Food and Drink!  Each month, the hostess of the month brings snacks for everyone to enjoy!  I will provide iced tea and water....and sometimes some other little snacky item!  
• Free Gifts! Occasionally, I make presents for my club members only!  My members are appreciated and they know it!
• An afternoon of friendship, relaxation and fun!  Get away from the kids and relax!  Best of all...it's always at my house, so you don't have to stress over cleaning yours!

We are looking forward to having you join us!  If you would like to attend, please contact me to RSVP so I have enough materials cut for everyone!  Click on the 'contact me' button or the Meetup button at the right!  Thank you!
