What Are You Going to Be This Halloween?

Sorry for my lack of posts... you know how wonderful technology is? Well, it’s only wonderful when it’s working! This was one of those classic computer moments. I upgraded my Internet security software to prevent viruses and all that bad stuff, but in the process it also prevented me from accessing any Blogspot blogs, including my own! Took awhile to figure that out. Doncha love it when that happens? Anyway, before I get my latest hand-stamped creations up here, I thought I’d help y’all come up with a costume for Halloween. Here’s what I should be. Check it out:

Consider Yourselves Challenged!

I attended a Stampin’ Up! seminar in Philadelphia this past weekend, and each of us was challenged to hold a $400 sales event in the next two weeks. If we do, we’ll receive a free stamp set (that will appear in the Spring-Summer Collection, coming out in January)! I’d like to share that challenge with all of you. If you call me and book a workshop between September 21 and 27, and if that workshop reaches $400, you will be invited to a free card class using the new stamp set! You can also score an invitation by placing a $40 or higher order before September 27. This photo features some cute projects made with the new set (the name escapes me right now — too much stamping and too little sleep over the weekend!).

DeVa Bag Class - RSVP Now!

Several people have asked about the DeVa Bag class next Saturday... that was when I realized that I forgot to publish the photos of the project! Sorry about that! This project includes 14 little "Love Notes" (3 x 3 note cards) with a matching designer bag to carry them in. The notes are too small to mail, but they make great gift tags or enclosures, or you can adhere one to a full-size card front for mailing. The notes and bag would also make a great gift for someone else! The name "DeVa" is not misspelled! It’s named for my friend and upline Deb Valder, who introduced the project to our stamp group last month. If you’d like to join in the fun, please RSVP by Tuesday, September 18. This class will be held on Saturday September 22 at 9:30, and is $15. Please bring a 12-inch paper trimmer if you have one, scissors and your favorite adhesive. I'll have glue sticks available.

For the first time, I’m offering this as a “Class in a Bag.” If you can’t make it to the class, I will give you all the materials along with an instruction sheet for putting it all together, and you can make it all up at home! I can provide the project pre-stamped for you as well. To order online, send your orders via my PayPal account (alimo@nycap.rr.com). Otherwise, call or drop me an email and we can arrange for a COD pick-up. Add $5 for postage if you’d like it mailed, otherwise orders will be ready at my house on an as-received basis. Let me know at that time if you’d like your cards pre-stamped.

Due to time and supply constraints I cannot take orders for specific Designer Series papers. All cards will be white or vanilla cardstock and will come with one pattern of double-sided paper. Ribbon may be substituted for rhinestone brads based on availability. This offer is only good through Monday, September 24, 2007.

My Referral Program

In an effort to branch out and expand my stamping contacts, I’m starting a customer referral program. Tell your friends about how much you enjoy stamping or scrapbooking and mention my business. If they contact me for more information or attend one of my classes, you’ll get a free Classic Stampin’ Pad in your choice of color. If they book a workshop, you’ll get a $10 gift certificate. If they sign up to become a demonstrator with me, you’ll get a $20 gift certificate!

Bring a friend that I’ve never met to one of my classes, and the two of you will get two-for-one admission to the class.

Now, get out there and start talking!
