Does this sound familiar????

‘Twas the day after Christmas. I looked through the house.
Not a thing here was paid for; I felt like a louse.
The stockings were empty; my wallet was bare.
I didn’t have a dime and nobody cared.

On Visa! On Mastercard! On AmEx and Discover!
I even tried borrowing cash from my brother!
The mortgage was due and they all wanted money.
You know something, friend, this wasn’t so funny!

I remembered I saw in an ad a while back:
No Quotas! No Inventory! No Kidding! No Flack!
I got up the courage and jumped right on in,
and this year my wallet isn’t so thin!

Maybe you’ll make some changes now too?
Maybe you’re looking for something to do?
Maybe you’ll join us and set yourself free?
And become something you’ve always wanted to be?

Free of the bills, and free of distress,
Partners to help you clean up your big mess!
Go now to the phone and punch out those keys,
And quickly a teammate of mine you shall be!

I’ll help you get going. I’ll lend you support.
This is one mission that shall not abort!
We’re all here to help you and teach you the tricks,
So NEXT year you won’t find yourself in this same fix!!

Send me your questions, or ask to speak to
People who were nervous, just like you.
I’ll give you your answers and do all I say,
Jump off that ol’ fence and join me today!

TAG, YOU'RE IT!

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27 from 6-8pm

Join me for a fun night of stamping with your very own TAGS ON BOARD stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog! That's right... no need to wait for stamps, because you'll receive yours with the class and use it on all of these fantastic projects!

This fun pocket card will be one of your favorites. Simple and fun.... and different than your basic side-open card. Stampin on the new Holiday Harmony paper adds dimension to the simple stripe. Don't you love the added detail with the rounded tab punch???

Take fun-sized box candy, wrap with some Holiday Harmony paper, and add a tag and you have a wonderful little gift. Who wouldn't love to receive this during the holiday??? Perfect for your friends, and you children's friends too! And a snap to make!!!

Use a 6x6 page protector to create a classy packet of gift tags for Christmas. You can make tags of all shapes and sizes and store them in this great packet or give to a friend.

A large cello bag is the perfect packaging for this fabulous no-adhesive box you can fill with your favorite treats.


I must have your $25 prepaid registration by November 17 to attend. (Registration fee includes Tags On Board stamp set, and all materials to complete the projects seen here.) Space is limited. Please bring your own adhesive.

Ok, had to put some samples on today!

I went through my stash and found some great samples with the DSP (designer series papers) and had to post some.

Mini Accordian Album

This is a 4 x 4 album using the DASHES DSP and Season Of Joy stamp set. Don't you love the cute little belly band that holds it shut, and the fun tags for photos or journaling??? This is a great gift for anyone, and a great way to test out the waters of scrapbooking.

LOVE THOSE PUNCHES!!!

My friend Tina made this card for me, and you gotta just want all of our punches.... this santa uses SEVEN of them! When you have a jumbo alphabet like the Letterpress Alphabet shown here, you can make a custom greeting! This also uses the Dashes DSP. So cute!!!!

PAPER PARTY PROMOTION!

NOVEMBER SPECIAL: Purchase any 3 packages of Designer Series Paper and get one FREE!

Our 2-sided DSP (Designer Series Papers, page 170-173 of the current catalog) are GORGEOUS, and you will have a hard time choosing a favorite. The good news is, YOU DON'T HAVE TO! You can get several packages, and by doing it this month, you'll save big! You get twelve 12x12 papers (2 each of 6 designs) so you could split a pack with a friend and get one sheet of each design.
