A Reason to Smile July Promotion

Here's a great reason to smile: Stampin' Up! is offering an exclusive stamp set for the month of July!

When you purchase at least $60 of Stampin' Up! products, you can purchase this special stamp set for only $5!

I am placing an order on July 1 at NOON so if you want to place an order and purchase this special stamp set, let me know!  Remember that you can always order online by clicking on the link to my business website.  It's quick, easy and ships right to you!  (I will also have another order date later in July if you'd rather order directly through me but aren't ready for tomorrow.)

Check out these cute samples (made by other demonstrators but I have collected to inspire me!) using it and view the official flyer below:

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want to place an order.

Have a lovely evening!

There's still time to make a guess!

There's still time to get your guess in for the Blog Candy!  Scroll down to the bottom of yesterday's post and leave your guess!

Sorry for the short amount of time yesterday when you couldn't leave an "anonymous comment".  That had been disabled to avoid spam.  It is now enabled so you can leave a message.  Make sure to put your name under your guess, though!

I saw this cute card online the other day and if you follow this link to Julie Davison's blog, you'll find a tutorial on how to make it!

Enjoy!

Acrylic Block troubles and Blog Candy!

Happy last day of school!  I am happy to be done all my work and packing at school and I am heading to the cottage in a while to hang out with my little guys.

Before I go, I wanted to post a quick message with a tip I found this morning.

I get a lot of complaints from people about their clear mounted stamps falling OFF the acrylic blocks.  I know it is frustrating because it happens to me too!

Well, I saw THIS POST this morning and thought you might want to try it.  I have NOT tried it yet, but have the Clear Block Cleaning Cloth and will try it when I'm back from the cottage.

If you don't have the Cleaning Cloth yet and want to try it, I'm placing an order on July 1, so you could order one!

Also, I have decided to give out some NEW BLOG CANDY.  In order to qualify, I would like you to:
1) subscribe to this blog either with RSS or through Feedburner (links on this page)
2) then leave a comment under this blog entry giving me YOUR GUESS for how many Brand NEW stamps I have bought/received from the NEW catalogue!  I will count only the ones that are NEW to this book (not carryover sets).

The winner will receive a fabulous package of goodies from me!  :)  I will close the contest on Midnight on Saturday, June 30.

Have a delightful Friday!  Tonight, after the boys are in bed, I am going to mount some of my new stamp sets!  Fun!!!

Watercolouring

Hi my stamping friends,

I am always inspired by other fabulous Demonstrators and Paper-crafters.  One of the blogs I "follow" is Diana Gibbs' blog.  She has incredible watercolouring skills and I am determined to get better at that!

I just wanted to show you this sweet card she did with a brand new set called Storybook Friends.  I think I'm going to work on watercolouring so my images can look HALF as nice as hers.

Click here to read more about this card.

This sweet card uses the Storybook Friends stamp set,
the Storytime Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Naturals Designer Buttons.

Click here to go to her blog and see a bunch of other cards has made and coloured using the Watercolour technique.  I really like her work!

Do you like to colour line-art images or do you like bold-image stamps?  Share your thoughts in the comments section!

Have a great night,
Andra

July 1 order date!

Just a quick note to let you know that I will be placing my next Stampin' Up! order on Sunday, July 1.  If you want to order anything, please let me know by NOON that day.  The new catalogue is chocked full of beautiful new stamp sets and accessories so there are a lot of new things for you to play with!

If you don't have your new catalogue yet, I have lots on hand and they are only $5.00!

Also, I have a few ribbon shares available if you're still interested.  Contact me for more information.

You have 3 more days to take advantage of the Starter Kit "Have your Cake" deal.  If you're interested in getting over $200 in new products for only $125, please contact me and I'll be happy to help you.

I will be using this website/blog exclusively as of July 1 so feel free to subscribe to it through Feedburner or you can subscribe to the posts through RSS.  Either way, you will be contacted whenever I post something new!  I will be working hard to get old project pictures posted so you can still have them for inspiration.

Have a wonderful, windy day!

Andra's brother Shawn is messing around on the site... trying something a tad more contemporary.

Testing...testing...

I am creating a new website. Bear with me because it will take some time!
