Guest Appearance

We had a great time at our class at Alpha Park Public Library in Bartonville on Monday night.  (Getting home after the class was not so fun - I ended up spending the night at my cousin's as I couldn't see the road headed west on I-74. Finally got home safe and sound on Tuesday morning about 9:00 am.)  Anyway, besides the cool projects that the stampers paid to make, we usually have a display where we have samples of other stamped items from which all can get a little extra inspiration.  This time one of our guests, who I don't know if she wants to be named but her initials are Gail Sexton, brought some creations that she had recently made.  She allowed us not only to put them on display at the event, but I have also taken photos and will share them here too.  She gave us a great idea to have a Show & Tell at each of our classes.  Anyone who brings samples to display will get a free gift from us!  We love to see what everyone has been creating!  Thanks, Gail, for sharing and sparking the idea for Show & Tell!!

This is Gail's original work.  She used the Movers and Shapers Die with her Big Shot.  The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is punched with the Modern Label punch. It has a silver brad on each side.  She also used the Scallop border punch to add a layer of white peeking out from under the Designer Paper.  And with the touch of White ribbon it just all pulls together.  Love it!  Thanks again!!

I would love to show other stamping friend's artwork here on my blog, so if you would like to be a featured artist like Gail, please send me your creations or photos of them to jj@getyourstampsout.com.

Haitian Disaster Relief

 

Stampin′ Up! along with demonstrators and customers alike have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others--especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest. So it was not surprising that a plan has been devised to provide relief for those who continue to suffer from the effects of the earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12.

 

Here is the plan:

From now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set sold will be donated American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

Product Name	Item #	Price
I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount  (block D recommended)	118571	$18.95
I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount	117010	$26.95

   
This is a simple and straightforward plan; the more stamp sets sold, the greater the difference we make. Often it is the simplest plans that work best!  Please purchase this stamp set by ordering on-line or through me personally by calling or e-mailing me at 309-335-2615 or jj@getyourstampsout.com

Help now and have your stamp set in time to stamp up some Valentine projects!!

I {Heart} Hearts

If you love hearts then you have to have this new stamp set of 8 different hearts.  They are all different shapes and sizes with different patterns or words.  It's a very fun stamp set!

This sample is similar to one of the projects that we will be making at the Alpha Park Library in Bartonville, IL on Monday, January 25th from 5:30 - 8:30 pm.  There will be 5 make and take projects total for a fee of $15.

New Stuff is Here!

Not only is there a just a new mini catalog and a new Sale-a-Bration brochure offered, but there is amazing never-before-offered products in them!  I'm not just talking new stamp images or new punch shapes.  I mean there is a whole newpunch style!  There is a new choice offered for your rubber stamping mounting options.  And there is a new format when it comes to selecting your free Sale-a-Bration product!  I will explain all of these new things in greater detail below and over the next few days, but I thought you may be wanting to see some samples made with some new things too.  You won't be disappointed!  I was in a swap recently so I have many projects ready to show you featuring new items from both the Occcasions Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-Bration (SAB) brochure.

This card would be great for a Valentine, an anniversary, or even just an attempt to get out of the dog house!  A smaller version would be a nice surprise in a kid's lunch or back pack.  You know as well as I do that the possibilities become endless!

The products used here are featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog on Pages 14-15.  The hearts are in a stamp set is called I {Heart} Hearts.  You now have the option of choosing the wood mount version that Stampin' Up! has always offered, or now you can select the clear mount variety.  Both feature the same quality rubber that Stampin' Up! is known for, so it's simply a personal preferrence when it comes down to deciding in which to invest.  I will be bringing both types of stamp sets to workshops and events, so you can see and use them both if you wish before deciding your preference.

The background of the lower part of this card is created with a Jumbo Stampin' Around Wheel called I {love} Love.  It was wheeled in Rose Red ink on Rose Red card stock for this subtle effect.  And the last new product used to create this project was the small heart punch used to punch out the little heart that says love.  It's a new shape in the new punch style which is better than ever with a sleeker design for space-saving storage and easier to punch with a larger handle surface for more leverage.  Check out new punches on pages 10-11 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Winner, winner!

Wholly Cow!  I had no idea that when I offered the Comment-a-day Contest that it would actaully come down to the wire like it did.  I actually had to just do a blind a draw from those faithful followers who commented on every single daily post.  And the winner is.....

Pam!

Congratulations, Pam!  You win a $20 Stampin' Up! gift certificate.

And a huge thank you to my other loyal followers. Especially Gail and Marty because if weren't for you, I may not have tried to post daily! 

And while I'm giving a shout out, I want to offer another enormous thank you to all of the dedicated stampers who have attended classes and events regularly in 2009.  Thanks to die-hard stampers Jayne and Theresa.  And a special thanks to Marlene, who not only comes to every event, but also hosts many at her own home!  We really appreciate all you do to host a class on a monthly basis.  I also want to thank the Monmouth Stamp Club for your enthusiasm for stamping.  I know you have been doing this for a long time, but I really love the club meetings and want to really thank you for continuing your club.  Thanks to Cheryl, Anne, Caroline, LouAnn, Terry, Mary Anne, Sherry for your dedication to the club.  And a special thanks to Sandy who introduced me to the group! Thanks for making it fun to serve you all!  Let's have a fantastic 2010 stamping together as well!!
