Take It Tuesday

It's Tuesday, so it's time for a Take It Tuesday Camp!

You can stop by anytime between 2 p.m and 7 p.m. on most any Tuesday.  You don't have to tell me in advance that you are coming, just pop by! 

This is a good time to pick up any orders you may have waiting for you.  I recently received a bunch of orders and have many bags of goodies waiting to be claimed!

You can also pay me for an order or upcoming event, register for an upcoming event, or place an order.  Plus, you can browse through samples I have on display and take pictures of the samples so you can use them for inspiration at home.

You can also bring any products you may have that you'd like a little extra instruction on how to use and I'll give you a quick lesson.  So, if you have a punch that is giving you trouble or aren't sure what sandwich to use with a Big Shot Die or want some tips on using Wheels, etc. bring them along and get a one-on-one lesson.

In addition, Stampin' Up! is running a Book-A-Thon today!  If you book an In-Home Workshop with me tomorrow to be held between January 5 and March 31, I'll give you an extra $15 worth of free goodies when your Workshop is held.  You can host the Workshop at your house, at my house, or at your place of business.  In order to get the extra goodies though, you must set a date with me today!

If you have cards to donate for Operation Write Home, bring those too!  Please just remember - absolutely no glitter!

I'll also have a couple of quick and easy card projects ready for you to stamp if you wish.  These projects are different each week.  Cost will be $1 per project made.  You may make one of each of the two cards available if you wish.

Today we'll be making these two cards:
