Happy National Stamping Month!

OK, so it's tomorrow. Made anything lately? I only JUST received my copy of the September Constant Campaign, so my projects will have to wait. But, I also received the newest CTMH Cricut cartridge, Artiste, which comes with some adorable birthday stamps (among others). I can't wait to sit down and make a few more cards to keep on hand.



Make some time this month to have a few cards ready to go. We have a new Avonlea kit that makes it easy, but you can also take some blank card bases, pretty scraps in various sizes, and use your creativity to put some together. It beats rushing around at the last minute before work to find a colleague that perfect card, or before a child's birthday party to create something unique. Do it ahead of time, and have a box of cards all ready to sign!

We have so much going on in August!

If you're landing here from my newsletter, welcome! Here you can find photos of the lovely products you can get this month:

Tues August 14th: stop by my place for an Open House, anywhere from 6-10 pm. Come over after work, after dinner, or after the kids are in bed for an in-person preview of the new papers, some new stamps, new colors, and embellishments! And you can pick up your copy of the new Idea Book, if you haven't done so already. We'll have treats, drinks, a make and take, and a raffle, just for stopping by. You can earn extra raffle tickets by bringing someone who is not on my (or my co-host, Connie's) e-mail list, or by bringing an old papercrafting item you have never gotten around to using. I hope to see you!

Wed August 15th: our celebration of National Stamping Month in September begins a little early with the "It's Your Day" DOUBLE D-size stamp set! You can get this set for just $5 with a $35 purchase, and includes all these images:

This runs through the end of September, and is good on any purchases placed online, at my Open House, a hostess club/workshop get-together, in-person Gatherings and catalog parties. If you'd like to host a Gathering or catalog party, just let me know! It's an easy way to earn free products, and if your sales reach $250 you can even earn our brand-new Cricut Artiste Collection for 50% off (or any of the hostess bundles, or any single item in the catalog, of course!)

Thursday August 16th: if you can't make Open House tomorrow, stop by my open Hostess Club/Workshop night. Take home a 2-page layout, learn a new technique, all for just placing a $25 order from the new catalog. For this event, just e-mail or call me by Thursday morning to let me know you're coming.

Through the end of August: you can still earn the beautiful damask tote by signing up as a Consultant this month. 

***And a quick note: if you were previously on the Crop N Time website or newsletter, please note they have recently changed their website to www.cropntime.NET, and they're asking you to please re-enroll in the monthly newsletter so you can keep up to date on all their upcoming events! The next one: September 22nd. I'll be there, will you?

That's all until September 1st; I hope to see you or hear from you in the meantime! Please don't hesitate to call, text, e-mail, or stop by my blog for more information about anything I've mentioned here.

Happy Scrapping!
