Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
Dear Linda,

Have you recovered from watching the Olympics?  I haven't watched so much TV in years LOL.  I also found it stressed me out, since I was anxious for all the Canadian athletes during their competitions (and don't even get me started about that gold medal men's hockey game!)

March is National Craft Month, I've been told.  Obviously for many of us, this is a year round celebration LOL.  March is also the LAST month for Sale-a-Bration - if you have't taken advantage of the free product up for grabs, be sure to contact me before the end of March. One of the best ways to get the most for your crafting dollars - host a workshop.  I may be able to squeak you in before month end if you contact me as soon as possible.   More interested in making money?  Consider signing up as a demonstrator.  During March, you can still take advantage of the signing bonus - a discount on your starter kit PLUS an extra stamp set of your choice!  You can sign up online at www.yamstamps.stampinup.net (click on JOIN NOW) - the password is ehteam.  If you have any questions, contact me.

How cute is this?  The Spring Floral wheel is used to decorate the So Saffron cardstock, which is then punched twice with the Extra Large Fancy Flower punch.  Stamp the bunny twice, punch one image with the 1" circle punch, cut out one bunny and mount with a stampin' dimensional onto the other image.  Mount this onto one of the flowers and sandwich the skewer in between the flowers. 
Project of the Month
quilt squareYou can use your Big Shot & Dies in your quilting and fabric arts projects!  The petals on the flower were made with the 5 point 3D star die; the Scallop Circle Die #2 was used to create the base of the flower and the leaf.  A piece of rick rack forms the stem.  For more details click here.

How cool and fun is this?!  Are you interested in trying a fabric project with the Big Shot?  Please let me know - I'm considering offering a class featuring a fabric project in the near future.
