New February classes added

Be sure to click on Amanda's or Beth's websites links above to go to our Stampin' Up sites.  We have both listed upcoming, just-added classes for the end of February and the beginning of March.  These classes can fill quickly, so be sure to RSVP right there at that particular class's description!  We hope to see you soon!

Not Just Stickers Sale

We had fun seeing many of you today at the Elmhurst scrapbooking and stamping resale.  If you haven't been to this event before, be sure to swing by tomorrow.  We would love to see you and to hear about all the amazing bargains you find while you save, save, save when you shop the tables full of gently used stamps, papers, tools, and on and on.  If you haven't picked up the new mini catalog be sure to stop at our Stampin'Up! table and get one!  See you tomorrow in Elmhurst.  The sale runs from 9:30-12:30 then the final markdowns are from 1-3. 

Exciting Class Policy change!

Beth and I have some exciting news! We have changed our class policy, (to benefit our customers more), and we wanted to share this with you. As usual, our Stamp a Stacks are $15 per person, HOWEVER, if you place a $30 (min.)catalog order that day, the class is FREE. You have the option at the end of class, that way, if you find something you love during class, you may change your mind - either way is fine with us!

During Saleabration, you get to pick a free item from the Saleabration catalog for each $50 you spend in a catalog order. You can "double-dip" and get the free class from us and the free item from Stampin' Up with a $50 order.

For Demonstrators, our classes are only $5.

During Saleabration,you can become a demonstrator, and get your whole starter kit for only $125 (Usually $175), AND you would get a free pack of designer series paper (or a free digital download) each month for the rest of the year (actually the value of this "pays" for your starter kit)

FANTASTIC February!

You aren't even going to believe all of the amazing things happening right now with 2 Stamping Friends and Stampin' Up!  Beth and I have just sent out our February newsletter and class list, but, in all of our Sale-A-Bration excitement, we forgot to tell you an outstanding deal.  Stampin' Up is allowing our customers to download a FREE 30 day trial of My Digital Studio Express - our digital scrapbooking/cardmaking/etc. software.  Go to either Amanda's or Beth's website (above), go to the shopping area, and enter the item number: 129600.  There is no charge for this, and you can get an idea of what the hub bub is all about!  Watch the video on the right for more details!

Just to clarify... please click on one of our websites above. This sends you though our Stampin' Up sites, and therefore we can track that you uploaded the software.  This is important as we are going to be sending tips and tricks throughout the month, and can only include you if you have gone through our "official" sites listed above!  Thanks.

New Year - New Techniques!

While Beth and I have been baking, and spending time with our families, we have also been very busy learning new things to teach you all!  In addition to hosting our regular Stamp-A-Stack offerings each month, we will be teaching new techniques in separate classes!  Come Re-think the Re-ink, Stamp on Stuff, Shake-Rattle-and Roll, be a Brayer Player, and just have fun!  Become a follower of our Blog (we promise not to post too often), so that you will be able to come play with us.  Due also to popular request, Beth and I will be offering a selection of both day and night classes and Stamp A Stack times.

Another thing to get you thinking, is Sale-A-Bration!  How about earning some great new products in the New Year?  Well, host a workshop and watch your stash of great stamps multiply (for FREE).  Sale-A-Bration begins the January 24th, and Beth and I have been busy already booking workshops.  If you would like to book a workshop, go to Beth's or Amanda's website at the top of the page and look for an open date.  Call us and we can work with your schedule.  Invite all of your friends for a make and take, a great demo, and fun - free products for you and all of your friends with their orders! 

On a more personal note, Beth and I have been talking lately about how very lucky we are feeling to have met each and every one of you.   We are having a blast, both with our craftiness, and with you!  We hope to see you all often in the New Year.  Most of all, we wish you all a year full of good health, hope, and prosperity.  Thank you for being a part of our lives.

One Last Chance... and a special opportunity to join our team before 2012!

Well, actually two last chances...

If you are looking for holiday gift items, such as gift card holders, candy cane hangers, wine bottle hangers, gift tags,holiday cards or more, you have one last chance to see our spread at a Holiday Bazaar.  We will be at the Tamarack Golf Course in Naperville on Friday, Dec. 16 from 6-9pm.  Stop by and visit, and mention this blog posting for a special gift, just for you!

If, instead, you are a make it myself kind of person, you've got one last chance too!  We will be holding one last Stamp-A-Stack before Christmas - come see what fun we will come up with this time! We will be making gift items that are holiday-adaptable, or, if you are ahead of the game, and all set for the Holidays, you can create things you will use throughout the year.  Click through to either of our websites and call one of us to let us know if you plan on attending, and what your preference is for cards! 

Also, Beth and I, since we are both qualified to attend the Stampin' Up! Leadership conference in San Antonio this January (YAY!!), have been given a special for anyone who would like to join our team before the New Year.    If you join us either Tuesday or Wednesday of this week (I know - only TWO days!), you will be able to get a jump start on being a demonstrator, an extra month of fun discounts and promotions just for you, AND, you can start booking those SUPER popular Sale-A-Bration workshops! Free stuff for all of our Friends...  But remember, this is only for 12/13 and 12/14, or else you will have to wait until the end of January!  Click on the Join our Team link to the right and see what the hubbub is all about!  Better yet, go to our websites and give us a call - the deal for the new demonstrators is SO good, it isn't even posted online yet!   Come play with us!  Our team has a blast!
