The Summer Mini Catalogue is Amost Gone

Stampin' Up!'s Summer Mini Catalogue is finished at the end of August...much like the season itself.  It's your last chance to get your hands on the fun products featured in the catalogue.  Check it out HERE and then either place your order online (click on SHOP NOW) or contact me to place your order before it's too late!

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to creating photoblocks tonight in class.  Don't forget - my information evening is on Thursday!  RSVP if you'd like to come out for some refreshments and chat about what's involved in being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

New My Digital Studio Photo Video

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words...and if that picture moves, it's even better!  This video shows you how to use your photos in the My Digital Studio software.

Watercolours and Rhinestones

I love the new Basic Rhinestones!  I used them (albeit slightly crookedly, now that I look at this photo LOL) on this card to add a little something extra...  Watercolour Trio was used for the image, which was coloured with Cherry Cobbler & Crumb Cake stampin' write markers to give the two tone effect.  Night of Navy and Very Vanilla round out the colour palette of this not too fussy card.  

Thanks for looking!  If you're a regular reader of this blog (thanks, first of all!) you'll notice that I'm a little slower with my posts these days - just taking it easy and enjoying the summer weather (never mind the fact that the humidity has been slowing me down substantially! LOL).  In August I have two events scheduled - the home decor blocks class and an Information Evening about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  If you're in southern Ontario (or within driving distance for that matter), it's a great time to be a demonstrator as Stampin' Up! will be holding a regional training event in Hamilton this September!  This is a fantastic opportunity to get new ideas and inspiration - both personally and business-wise.  It's also a great chance to catch up with friends.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my upcoming events!
