Stamping & Scrapping with Jen

Will Run for Margaritas

My running friend Theresa has that on the back of her car.  :)  Mine says Will Run for Wine, but that doesn't fit this post as well.

I'm so sad to see Cheers for You is retiring!!!!  It's one of those sets I will certainly hold on to, and if I were you and you haven't purchased it yet, I would get it now while you can.  After June 30, you won't be able to get it anymore!!!  It's great for scrapbooking and cardmaking - especially for humorous masculine cards (not too many sets fit that bill)!!

If you are coming to my Last Chance 10 Card Class tomorrow, this is one of the cards you will be making.  Should I spoil the surprise and show you the full card???????  Oh, okay, I will!!!

It kind of looks like I was drinking a margarita while I took the photo, but I swear it was before noon and I wasn't!!!!  (Honest!!)

I do still have one spot left in my 12:15 class and 6 spots open in my 7:00PM class, so if you'd like to join me, please email me ASAP!!

Retirement Party Projects

Last night was my annual "Retirement Party" and we had so much fun!!!  It's a FREE class that I do every year when the catalog is about to end.  Last night there were two projects to create, I gave away lots of retired card samples, and I also gave away lots of free stuff when orders were placed!!!  It was a great night out for everyone who came!!

Here is one of the projects from last night using the Zoofari stamp set.  I'm really going to miss this set.  It's definitely one I will not part with.  I've made great scrapbook pages from the zoo with it and you can't beat it for a little boy's birthday card!!!

The other project was another card and we used Doodle This - another stamp set I will miss.  And another one I used a lot for scrapbooking!!!  And those embroidered embellishments (Accents & Elements Fleurettes) are awesome!!  They are also retiring at the end of this month and they are 50% off (while supplies last).  I personally bought another pack to have on hand for future scrapbook pages.

If you want to get the details of my upcoming events (there are several free ones throughout the year), please be sure to sign up for my mailing list!!!
