Good morning fellow stampers! I know that it's been a LONG time since you've heard from me! I've been a busy bee! I'm sure you can relate. It's been a good "month off" for me so far! Mike and I visited Las Vegas earlier in the month for a quick weekend getaway. We cashed in our free plane tickets after being bumped on our flights home from convention this past summer. We desperately tried to get bumed again this time for more free travel, but it didn't work. The following week we held our annual family Christmas Party. This year I went all out and even hired a florist to create four floral arrangements! They were beautiful!
I also mailed out over 300 Christmas cards this year. I stamped each and every one of them! However, I realized I was running out of time to get the insides done (I always forget about the insides of cards). So, I downloaded some of the great MDS downloads and created a digital inside to my cards this year. I LOVE that idea! I also felt lazy because I digitally signed them as well. So, by incorporating a bit of MDS with a traditional stamped card, I sent out hybrid cards this year!
Now that all of that is said and done, it was on to my reward...FINALLY allowing myself to play with the Occasions Mini products!!! WOO HOO!!! They actually arrived the day after we returned from Vegas and sat in the box for about a week. I finally got around to unpacking them and labeling them but would not allow myself to play. However, yesterday, after I got home from a trip to Lancaster to visit a friend and shop, I sat down to stamp!
I started by creating samples for my upcoming Valentine's Day class. I posted that as a status on my Facebook page last night and got lots of negative comments. As a demonstrator, I have to think like a retailer. I have to have the projects designed in time to post samples so that you will have time to sign up to take the class and hopefully have time to order ALL of the products you used in the class!!! Ha Ha Ha!!! This is why I start planning Christmas in August.
I'm offering this class a couple of different times:
Thursday, January 6th - 7pm
Saturday, January 8th - 2pm
Saturday, January 8th - 6pm
The materials fee for the class is $20 per person. Each attendee will make one of each of the five cards shown above. All supplies (including adhesive and envelopes) are included in the cost of this class! Also, starting in 2011, I will be requiring prepayment for ALL of my classes. You are welcome to use the registration form below and pay online via PayPal (you can even use a credit card when registering online)! Or, you are more than welcome to drop a check in the mail!
Long Distance Options: I am offering two long distance options for this class if you are unable to attend in person.
Option 1: Class-in-the-Mail. With this option, I will send you the step-by-step instructions, paper, embellishments, punched cardstock, and any other supplies required to complete this project. What is NOT included is ink, stamps, and adhesive. This class option is only available through January 6th.
Option 2: Class Planner. Are you a demonstrator? Would you like to offer this class to your customers? You may select the class planner option for $5. I will send you the step-by-step PDF instructions including photos. This class option is available through February 14th.
