The Top 6 Reasons to Come to My Stamp Classes

I know there are a lot of great crafting videos on YouTube (and some not-so-great ones) that we all enjoy watching for inspiration.  I like to watch them from time-to-time, and I've even posted a few myself.  But watching a video will never be the same as coming to one of my classes… and here's why:

  1. You get to see me!  OK, I know that isn't really why you come to the classes, but I do hope that you enjoy my enthusiasm for teaching you what I know!
  2. You learn a project AND get to take the finished item home with you. I typically teach 3-4 projects in a class, so in just a couple hours you have 3-4 items to take home with you. If you are just watching videos, you can watch a lot of them in a couple hours, but may have nothing completed, except a list of "to-do's."
  3. You get to use my supplies. Usually my projects can be changed slightly to meet your needs, by swapping one stamped image for another, or switching an embellishment for a different one. I enourage you to make it your own!
  4. If you have a question about the project you can ask me RIGHT THEN, rather than waiting for the person who posted a video to respond to you.
  5. If the project(s) we are making are complicated or have lots of steps, you will get a handout to take home with you.  I only offer this to class attendees!
  6. Did I mention, you get to see me? Well, you DO!

I love what I do, and I love to share it with others.  This is why I offer classes and love coming to workshops I've planned with my hostesses!  I hope you will join me for a class or workshop VERY soon!  Contact me for details, or visit my Online Class Calendar to see what's coming up next.

My New Favorite Designer Series Paper!

As I hope you already know, Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration is in full swing! This year the free exclusive items are just fantastic.  My most favorite is the Everyday Enchantment designer series paper (125154).  This paper is gorgeous, and I find myself using it for everything lately!

EE-DSP-SAB2012
To get your own package of this 12×12, double-sided paper, place a $50 order with me before March 31, 2012.  For every $50 you spend, you can select any of the items in the Sale-A-Bration brochure for free!  Some items are exclusive to SAB, and some are found in our Idea Book & Catalog, but they are all fantastic.

Visit my YouTube channel to see a project I made using the Everyday Enchantment designer series paper – a cute little door hanger for my sister Elaina!
