I hope that you are enjoying your summer so far! I'm taking a bit of a break from offering classes in August...but I do have one scheduled near the end of the month. My monthly classes start again in September. I'd love to see you at a class soon! This newsletter is going to be a brief one, to give us all more time to enjoy the summer weather!
Stampin' Up! is a great opportunity to have your own home based business. When you are the boss, you can control the schedule! If you're curious to know more, please RSVP for my Information evening on Thursday, August 26th at 7pm here in Burlington. If you're unable to make it that evening, please contact me. We can set up an alternate time to get together and go over the information!

Another reason to consider becoming a demonstrator now....there's going to be a regional training seminar in Hamilton ON at the Convention Centre in September! This is a demonstrator only event that's sure to sell out. Stampin' Up! presents fantastic project and business ideas, not to mention the ideas and inspiration from fellow demonstrators. I was lucky enough to help at the last regional event in Hamilton, and you can bet I'll be attending this one! Contact me for more information...

STAMPERS and SCRAPPERS CLUB
The return of the Stampers and Scrappers Club! One club is almost full already, contact me for more information on how this club will help budget your crafty spending and earn you perks at the same time!
This is the way to go if you're interested in budgeting out your crafting purchases, attending a class and earning free Stampin' Up! product and exclusive hostess-only product. We meet once a month to create four cards or a two page 12" x 12" layout (depending on if you're a "stamper" or a "scrapper"). Each month, a different member receives the hostess benefits. Requirements - commitment to purchase $33 in merchandise monthly for each month of club (6 months)
NEW Simply Sent Kits
If you have had a chance to look through the new catalogue then you have probably seen our new Simply Sent kits on pages 182 and 183.
They make it so quick and easy to create cards. You have 2 options. You can get the cards/envelopes kit and use your own sentiments and stamps, or, you can add the stamp set that coordinates with the kit to complete the look.
Stampin' Up! has just introduced the Expedited Shipping offer for Canada. If you select the expedited shipping option, you can expect to see your product delivered as quickly as TWO days after your order is placed!! (Depending on where you live in Canada...and when your order is placed - i.e. before 10am on a business day, you can expect same day ship out). Packages are delivered by FedEx, and will cost $25 on top of your usual shipping costs. Obviously not something you'd select for everyday orders, but if you are in urgent need, it's nice to have this option available. Contact me if you have questions.
I look forward to seeing you soon. In the meantime - happy crafting!
