Hi Everyone! First and foremost - I want to send out a great big THANK YOU to those of you that came out for my "Last Chance/Sneak Peek BOGO Event" this weekend!!!!!  This event was a HUGE success! And everyone loved the chance to purchase retired Stampin' Up! supplies and stamp sets and for each dollar they spent they received the same amount in FREE merchandise from the new 2012-2013 Catalogue (orders will be placed on June 1st)!!!!  For those of you who wanted to come but were unable to, don't worry! You'll still have a couple of chances to get in on this exclusive deal.  I'll be holding my own workshop on June 9th (contact me if you'd like to attend) and my Annual Hostess Appreciate Dinner will both have BOGO tables set up.  If you'd like to come the hostess dinner, there's still time for you to become eligible for an invitation. Simply book a workshop or private card class with me between now and the end of June.

The winner of the door prize at this weekend's BOGO event was (drumroll please)....Edith McRae! YAY EDITH!!!! The winner was chosen with random. org, and Edith will be receiving a complete set of the new 2012-2014 In Colour markers! I know you'll enjoy using those, Edith (and so will Lisa and Charlene!).

Everyone that came out to the BOGO event this weekend also received their new catalogue AND even got a sneak peek of some new products, which they used on their make and take projects.  Here's one of the sneak peek cards everyone made (and I completely cased the idea from another demonstrator whom I can't recall - so if it's your card layout, let me know so that I can give you credit for it!).  This card uses the new 'Betsy Blossom' stamp set as well as new In Colour Markers, Card Stock, ribbon and designer series paper.  The sentiment is from the 'Word Play' stamp set.
 

 Isn't it pretty?

OK - onto today's video.  It's a quick card using "Inspired by Nature" which retires at the end of this month.  Out of all the retiring stamp sets, this is the one I'm most sad to see go.  I'll never part with this one - I LUV it!

Today I had a Big Shot class with some LOVELY ladies and we such a wonderful time stamping and playing with Big Shot.

Hi Everyone!  I am SO EXCITED about my 'Last Chance/Sneak Peek BOGO Event' this weekend! From the sound of it, you are too! I've had a fabulous response and re. the deadline to RSVP by May 21st, don't worry if you missed it - you can still come! That was just to ensure I had enough make and take projects for everyone.  You won't want to miss this Buy One, Get One FREE event - lots and lots and lots of stamp sets, ink pads, Big Shot dies, punches, paper, ribbon and more will be available to purchase and whatever you spend you'll ALSO get for FREE out of the new catalogue! I'll have the new catalogues with me on Saturday too - everyone who spends a min. $50 or more (before tax and shipping) will be going home with their own copy (to devour, drool over, touch, sniff and feel, to love hold and take with you everywhere - and all that jazz.  I know who you are.  Don't worry - I do it too.).

And can you believe there's only a WEEK left of the current catalogue??? So many stamp sets and accessories will be gone FOREVER! Kinda sad.  So I'm paying homage to some of my favourite stamps.  Here's another - "Upsy Daisy". 

 
Lord, I've used this set a LOT over the years.  Love it.  Here's my latest  video, showing you a mega easy technique with the Stampin' Pastels and the Upsy Daisy stamp set:



Tomorrow I'll be sharing another quick card and technique, also using Upsy Daisy.  Here's a sneak peek:

Enjoy the day and HAPPY STAMPING!
