DSP Class – Sending Love Specialty Paper

Debbie — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 04:50:51 +0000

Join me on Friday, January 29th from 7-9pm to create 5 cards using the NEW Sending Love Specialty Paper from the Occasions Mini. You can find this paper on page 13 of the mini on the right side of the blog. Just click on the mini and you can check it out!

The class is $30 and includes 5 cards and a package of this yummy new paper. This paper makes me think of chocolate….I don’t know why. Maybe because chocolate has been a staple of my diet the past couple of weeks (hey…someone has to finish off all the chocolates we were given this holiday season )! Anyway, the paper is beautiful…and yummy…and choclately….

Ok, enough already! Let’s move on. If you would like to sign up for this class, simply click on the link below to register and pay by January 15th and we will see you on the 29th!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Back to School!

Debbie — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 17:17:22 +0000

While I have to say that this summer went by INCREDIBLY fast, I also must confess that I’m soooo happy that the kids are back to school! Not just for my sanity, but also for theirs. How kids can possibly say "I’m bored" nearly every day for 2 months is beyond me…especially with the summer camps, friends sleeping over, vacations, etc. etc. They really don’t understand how good they have it! When I was their age (here I go…sounding like my mother…) I was lucky to be let back in the house by 5:00pm everyday. I had to entertain myself (gasp!) for days on end!

Anyway…they are back in school and I just thought I’d share my photos of them on the first day.

Enjoy your long weekend!

Simply Scrappin’ – Sunny Days Kit

Debbie — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 04:04:57 +0000

Although it’s a little later than I had hoped, I have finally managed to complete my first Simply Scrappin’ kit from the new 2009/2010 Idea Book and Catalogue. I decided to use the SUNNY DAYS kit first as I loved the bright colors that reflect the happy days of summer!

For demonstrators, this is the first of a new monthly online service that will provide you with four 2-page spreads (8 pages) using a different kit each month. For only $15 Cdn you will receive a 15 page PDF document that includes photos with page by page instructions and measurements for designing each page. These color pages are great for prining out for your customers as handouts. I also have a TIP sheet for demonstrators, that include helpful hints on the pages themselves as well as other business ideas.

Each month’s kit will be posted by the 15th of the month on my blog and you will receive the PDF file via email within 24hrs of ordering. These are a great resource for those of you wanting to get into more scrapbooking workshops or for those of you already doing it, these will be a helpful time saver for you.

For customers, this monthly service also provides you with four 2-page spreads (8 pages) exactly the same as above. The cost for you is $45 and will include that months kit as well as all the extras needed to complete the kit AND also includes shipping anywhere in Canada!

If you are happy with my service, please spread the word! If you refer 10 people to me that purchase the file, your next month’s file will be FREE!! Simply ask your contact to mention your name in the note section when they are purchasing the file through PAYPAL.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at anytime. I hope you enjoy this new service!
