CAROUSEL NOTES MEMORY PURSE CLASS
Tuesday, July 1
6:00 to 9:00 PM
Shannon’s House – 523 Charlotte Avenue, Kalamazoo
Class Fee $20 (can be paid at the class)
The ladies on Saturday had a great time creating their Memory Purses. You can, too!
Join me on Tuesday evening to make a special treasure to give or keep. Using several products from the Occasions Mini Catalog, we will make a fun Memory Book in the shape of a purse.
Each class fee includes one half package of the Carousel Notes and one sheet of each design from the Afternoon Tea Designer Paper. You will use a portion of these supplies to make this project, and have some left over to take home and use. I will supply the additional card stock and hardware needed to complete your Memory Purse.
Class size is limited to 4 participants. Call or email me soon to reserve your spot!
COME STAMP WITH ME
I am looking for assistance putting together my swaps for this years’ Stampin’ Up! Convention. There will be various jobs – assembly, punching, tying ribbons, stamping and such. I currently have the next two Thursdays set aside for helpers.
Thursday, July 3 – 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Thursday, July 10 – 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Please call or email me to let me know when you would like to come over. We will work at my house (see link above). To thank you for your time, you will be able to select some cards from my box of assorted hand-stamped cards.

Please Help Me Make Swaps! June 23, 2008
Posted by Shannon in Events, General.comments closed
Do you enjoy all the various project samples that I share with you? Such as, card ideas using many different stamp sets and techniques, scrapbook pages, gift card and treat holders, nifty folds, and many, many other fun projects??
Well . . . I get most of these cool samples at the annual Stampin’ Up! Convention. I leave for this year’s Convention in just five weeks. So, I am busily making card fronts and 3D projects in order to swap for new, fresh ideas with to share with you.
This year I am also asking for your help!
COME STAMP WITH ME

Thursday, July 3 – 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

CARD STOCK EXCHANGE
Since I am making 20, 40, or sometimes more of each design, I am using a lot of card stock. Rather than place a specific order to restock, I would like to exchange card stock with some of you. If you can spare 2-6 sheets of the colors listed, I will gladly exchange them, one for one, with the options listed.
Currently I need – Basic Black (8.5 x 11). For these, I can offer you – Sahara Sand, Kraft, Natural Ivory, or Very Vanilla.
Currently I need – Green Galore & Tempting Turquoise & Blush Blossom (8.5 x 11). For these, I can offer you – Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Pale Plum, Not Quite Navy, or Creamy Caramel.
The exchanges can be done anytime. Just call or email me to make arrangements.
THANKS!

Posted by Shannon in General.comments closed
As I prepare to close my StampinUpdates yahoo group, I have started moving helpful information to this site. I have created a new page called Downloads. Here I will add links and files that I believe are useful to you.
There is a tab for this page in the header. You can also access it directly here.
I will let you know as I add new content to this page.

Posted by Shannon in Projects.comments closed
I have already found several great ideas using the new stamp set, Fresh Cuts. Some with the Fresh-Cut Notes, too. The stamp set and the note cards will be offered in the new 2008 Fall-Winter Catalog which begins in August. But you can get them now and make some great projects this summer.
I have created my first slide show with some of the beautiful cards that folks have made. Click on the box or View All Images to see the individual pictures.
