I have been thinking about doing these for a LONG time and I have re-arranged a few things in the workshop in order to make the best working/viewing layout possible. I did a test run at my last card class with a few ladies and they were quite happy with it!! We popped in a "girly" movie (love those vampires), had munchies and they worked on their cards. I am open to movie requests and I am also open to ordering in dinner.
I will try to rotate days of the week in hopes of making these nights available to as many are interested. Because of the way the tables are set up, there is only room for up to 4 ladies. These nights are meant for you to work on a specific project that does not require you to bring ALL of you supplies as there is just not enough room. But if you want access to tools, stamp sets, and resources that you don’t have at home then this your chance to take advantage.
Please register by phone or email to reserve your spot.
Date: Thursday May 7th
Time: 5pm start – 11pm Movie starts at 7:30pm
Fee: $5
If we decide to order in….we will just divide amongst those that are interested.
Future Pop, Crop & Movie Nights will be posted on my www.stampwithamber.stampinup.net calendar so be sure to check it out.

Well, I’m done!!!!
For those of you that don’t know, I have been training with 5 Star tutors for the last few weeks and I am DONE!!! I am now a trained tutor specializing in K-4 Reading and Comprehension………I KNOW!!! like I don’t have enough going on in my days…..LOL
Anyway, I will be starting to teach next week after spending some time shadowing a few of the other tutors. This new venture is allowing me to back off on my hours at Sobey’s so I have more time in the evenings to be with the my hubby and kids AND finally get back to stamping in the evenings.
I have HAD to make a few changes to my Stamping Class schedule so if you were interested in attending any of my classes…..please double-check my CALENDAR to see what changes I have made and what is coming up in the next few months. I am doing my best to plan classes well in advance so I can do my lesson plans for BOTH stamping and tutoring.
Cheers!

Well, SU has decided to return to ONE catalogue per year……and it will start with the next release in July. They will also return to the 3 Mini cattys per year and each will last 4 months…..the bonus this time, the minis will also offer additional Hostess sets to choose from!!!. That means you can host multiple parties a year and get a chance to get different great sets!.

I made this cute little "purse buddy" because I was tired of hunting through my van to find a piece of paper I could jot a few things on. RBD’s new set LISTED has MANY uses and I can’t wait to show you more ideas so keep watching…..
Here is the picture of the outside…..I didn’t put embellishments on the cover as this is meant to go in my purse and I knew they would not last long
. I covered some chipboard coasters with SU DSP and used Kiwi Kiss and Basic Grey cardstock to make a divider and cover the inside covers. I inked up Darling Damask (another favourite) and used matching inks to make a pattern on the divider and inside covers.
Sorry the picture isn’t really clear…..need to work on my lighting skills
. but you get the idea.
Here are some inside shots………………half of the book is Grocery Lists and the other half is "To Do" Lists so I can make sure to list places I need to go….or sales I don’t want to miss. LOL

This is a close up shot….but you still can’t really see that I perforated the white pieces just before the binding so they would make a nice clean tear-out and used one of the "do dads" from the Listed set to decorate where the coil is. I did use the Zutter Bind-it-All if you are wondering.

Super Cute eh!!! I am going to get my hubby to make a little hole in the end of a golf pencil so I can ribbon it to the coils and it can be stored inside the coils………..no need to be diggin’ for something to write with either!!!
Thanks RBD!!! I will be using this OFTEN!
Don’t miss my matching "coupon buddy" coming soon!
