My Everyday Specials

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share some of my everyday specials with you. These are specials that I offer to my customers directly. They are not a Stampin' Up program, so these orders must be placed by contacting me directly. Ordering from my website will not give you the discounts.

1) Want all of the markers and the carrying case, but don't want to spend the big money at once? Consider my Monthly Marker Club. Each month, for four months, you will receive one color family of markers and one package of the coordinating 8 1/2 X 11 cardstock (36 sheets; 3 of each color) for $40. You will also receive the carrying case that is only available when you purchase all the markers at once AND a Level 1 Hostess gift to boot!

2) Want a variety of ribbons but don't want 10 or 15 yards of each? How about splitting a spool with a group of three people? That way, you get 3 1/3 yards or 5 yards of each ribbon depending on the type of ribbon. For example, there are 19 different shades of the 1/4" Grossgrain Ribbon. To order all of these spools, it would cost you $94.05. Split that with 2 other people and receive 5 yards of each color for $30! Gets you the variety you want and a little discount too.....

3) Interested in the Big Shot machine? It is a WONDERFUL investment, but a pricier one too. How about 10% off your purchase of the Big Shot and any dies or embossing folders you order with it?

If any of these specials interest you, don't hesitate to contact me. I'll be glad to explain them in more detail if you have questions. Remember, these are my personal specials and they are not available for order through my website this way. You must contact me directly to get the special offers. Have a great night!

May 5th Scrap Night - Page 2


And here is page 2. Notice that the center of the flowers on page 1 is a pic, so keep in mind that you'll need some smaller pics for those that will fit in a 1- 1/4" circle. Again, RSVP for this is Thursday, April 30th. Just let me know which session you'll be attending.

May 5th Scrap Night Pg 1


Well, last week went by entirely too fast! I don't know where the time goes. Our next Scrap Night is Tuesday, May 5th, with sessions at 4:00 PM and 6:30 PM. We will be creating 2 (12X 12) scrapbook pages for $5. You will need to bring scissors, adhesive, and pics with you. Everything else is provided. RSVP deadline is Thursday, April 30th. Here is page 1:

Friday, April 17, 2009

Ok, I finally have all the samples uploaded. It's going to take some more time to get this all figured out though. There's got to be a better way to upload as this took FOREVER. For anyone who knows me well, I'm probably making this harder than it is though. LOL! Again, on Tuesday, we'll be making the four cards labeled April 21st cards. The rest are just samples for you to try. Thanks to the wonderful stampers at SCS who provided samples and inspiration!

I am offering $3.00 off the Pick a Petal Stamp set on Tuesday. If you're not able to attend, but would still like to purchase the set at a discount, let me know. I'll be glad to get it out to you. Remember, anytime you make a purchase of $25 or more and total sales are more than $150, you'll get a share of the hostess benefits for the day!

Please, please, please post your comments. And if you know lots about blogging and have any suggestions for me, I would LOVE for you to share. Have a great night!!

Pick a Petal Samples

Well, I think I might finally have this figured out. Time will tell......I am posting all of the Pick a Petal cards I sent out by e-mail this week. Because the file was so large, many of you couldn't open it. That's what led me to this blogging thing. I wanted to be able to have a place to post projects without any restrictions on the size of the pics, etc. The more you see, the more you'll use your stamps and the more fun you'll have! The first four cards are the ones we'll be making on Tuesday. The rest are just samples for you to try......

Finally Did It!

Well, this is my first post on my first official blog. I can't wait to figure out how to use this thing so I can get all of my great projects on here! Have to get Olivia off to dance, but will be playing later!
