Well, Janet and I have returned safe and sound from Convention feeling inspired and full of great ideas to share!! We met some wonderful ladies, got some great swaps, had some amazing mexican food and did some serious shopping. We also saw some fantastic scenery along our journey and saw some upcoming product that you are going to LOVE!!! All of the above and a 30+ hour drive that helped strengthen an already wonderful friendship.  Thanks for a great "Moms week away" Janet!

At this Thursday's final Club meeting we will share some of the above mentioned as well as make a card using a stamp set with matching punch that I WON and will be available in the Holiday Mini September 1st and trust me……you are going to want it ALL!!! Dies, DSP and fabric OH MY!

Clubs will be starting up again in September so if you have not advised me that you would like to join again….please contact me to be placed in a club. I have clubs running in both the South and North end of town so no matter where you are, you can be a part of one. 

If you are in need of the new catalogue, please let me know as well.  I will be having the Holiday Mini mailed out near the end of August so if you want to be on my mailing list, please email me your address to amberchapman@shaw.ca

Hope you are enjoying our fast Summer!! I can't believe July is nearing the end, take your stamping outside so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

This is the time of year to work on those papercraft projects that you may be behind on.  Take advantage of a WHOLE month of 30% savings on select SU items….see more details on the side bar link.

It is also Summer Mini time!! and there are some great new items available including 2 new punches that can punch 3 different ways with just a click.  The link to the mini is also located in my left side bar.

Open Scrap nights are still Tuesday nights (subject to change and based on space so please contact me if you wish to attend). The May All-Day scrap at my house is booked for May but I am looking at my calendar for June dates.  I will also be looking into a Fall All-Day scrap at Silver Springs Community Centre so watch for dates . 

Hope you are enjoying Spring!….FINALLY :0)

PS….67 days until Janet and I leave for Convention in Salt Lake!!!!

NO Foolin'!!!! 

SU has come out with new Grab Bags of clearance goodies….

a $6 bag will contain aprox. $24 worth of Clearance items (chipboard, DSP, ribbon, accents)

a $12 bag will contain aprox. $48

and an $18 bag will contain aprox. $72

**the bags will NOT contain any stamp sets or tools.

They have also added many additional items to the Clearance Rack…including retired marker families, ribbon, DSP, Scrap kits…and more!!!

Please remember that you must either place an order for these items online through my www.stampwithamber.stampinup.net website or wait until I have a group order going through.  It may be even better to get a group together and one person place the order so you can share the shipping costs.

Have a great day!!……

The Holidays are officially upon us….The kids are done school for 2 weeks and I am looking forward to having some much need down-time.  I have completed most of my Christmas shopping but have not gotten to my cards as I have been waiting for the kids school pictures.  They may be New Years cards this year.

We had a successful visit with Santa yesterday and got a great photo to prove it.  The tree has been trimmed, stockings have been hung and the kids have an ongoing list for santa that changes based on the commercials they see…….poor Santa, can't keep up :0)

Clubs will be taking a break until January where we will take advantage of the early start of Sale-a-Bration on January 25th.  The Occasions Mini should be arriving at Club members doors this week and you can start ordering from it on January 4th.  You can view it online for those that don't get one in the mail.  There is a "Love" promotion that starts today and runs until January 24th but since we won't be placing our next Club order until after the 25th you will need to contact me over the next month if you would like to purchase anything from this promotion.  You can link to it on the right side of my website main page.

I wish all of you and your families a happy and healthy Holiday and I look forward to seeing you ALL in the New Year!
