Introducing "Friday Night Frights" October classes

Hello stampers!  I have decided to offer a series of classes during October with a fall/Halloween theme.   Of course, we're talking CANDY here!

I love, love, love making little 3D items that hold goodies!  If you do too, join me for my first class on Friday, October 7th at 7:00 PM.  NOTE: I will consider start times as early as 6:00 if I get enough requests, so if you want to come earlier (maybe right from work) so you can get home earlier, please contact me.

Cost:  $10.00

Here's a photo of the projects for the first class:

 
(There will either be Hershey's Nuggest or Kisses tucked inside the green triangle box (either one will fit)).

RSVP and payment due by Tuesday, October 4. Please mail payment to me (or drop it off)  far enough in advance to reach me by the due date.   Please do not plan to bring payment to class - it is needed in advance to purchase supplies.  Thanks!

If you need my address, please e-mail me at [email protected]

The Holiday Mini Catalog is Here!

It's finally here, and it's a doozy!  I am very excited about several products in this catalog, especially the new Simply Scored tool (p. 7)!  I've had mine for a couple of weeks, and I absolutely LOVE it!  You'll definitely be using this tool at my fall workshops and classes.

A few of my other favorites:  The Holiday Stocking die for the Big Shot, Stitched Stockings stamp set and matching Stocking Builder Punch, Silver Glimmer paper (sooooooo pretty!), the Gently Falling stamp set, the new Mica flakes (looks like snow) and the Dazzling Details glitter glue!  So many fun new things to play with!
