Happy July 4th!

Hi everyone!

I am going to take a few days off, so this will be my last post until next Tuesday.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

There are a few spaces left for the class on July 11.  Sign ups will be accepted through July 3,

Before I go, I have a card for you to commemorate the holiday.  This card is also for this week's challenge from The Paper Players.  It's a sketch challenge from Nance:

Hi Stampers!

It's been a nice start to the short work week.  I have big plans for my days off; wonder how much will actually get done?

Reminder:  

BEGINS JUNE 30: BONUS DEALS

June 29, 2015

Tomorrow, June 30 marks the beginning of our Bonus Deals!

If you want to place an order tomorrow, let me know.  I will place an order around noon.

My son needed a sympathy card for work.  Today's card is what I came up with.  I am also submitting this card for a new-to-me challenge, Can You Case It?  This week's challenge is to incorporate a combination of the 2015-17 In Colors in a card.

Just for You!

Hello friends!

I hope you had a nice weekend!  Ours was good!   I'm looking forward to a short work week this week and a shorter work week next week!

I even got in a little crafting time this weekend, although it's been really hard to find that time recently.  I hope to find more of it soon!!!

Stampin' Up! posted the following notice to our demonstrator web site late Friday:

COMING SOON: BONUS DEALS

June 26, 2015
Get ready, because June 30-August 3, we're adding more items to the Clearance Rack and to Weekly Deals. Let your customers know about this chance to save up to 30% on even more Weekly Deals, or up to 60% on extra items in the Clearance Rack (while supplies last). They'll want to hurry, because Weekly Deals discounts will be available in limited quantities before the items return to retail prices. 

Check in early on Tuesday to see what is on sale!  I'm sure I will be placing an order, so shoot me a note to let me know what you want.

The new Demonstrator promotion (two additional stamp sets for FREE) comes to an end on June 30.  There is still time to sign up - as either a business demo or a hobby demo.  If you have any questions, or if I can help you sign up, just let me know!!!
