Scrapbooking and Card Making Fun For Everyone at the Dunn Loring Volunteer Fire Department

Good Morning My Stamping Friends,

I thought you might want to see a few photos from the last Scrapbooking and Card Making event I hosted at the Dunn Loring Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department. It was soooo much fun!

and adhesive to name a few things)

I want to add a huge thank you to everyone that came out to raise funds for the Dunn Loring Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department. It wouldn't be the same without you. If you'd like to come stamp and scrap with us at our next event (scheduled for March 2nd & 3rd), contact me and I can get you all the details.

Hope to see you there,
Rose-Ellen

One FREE Stampin' Up Designer Series Paper pack for every three you purchase

Hi there My Stampin' Up! Friends, I'm here to tell you that the Stampin' Up! August Promotion is AMAZING!! Until the end of August, get a FREE package of Designer Series Paper when you buy three! You should consider using this limited-time offer to stock up on all your favorites, including brand-new designs from the Stampin' Up! 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog. That's what I'm going to do.

Think about which projects you'll be doing over the next 9-12 months and buy now, while we are having such a fantastic promotion. I know that I'll be using the Frightful Sight (#122351) for my girls' Halloween projects and gifts for their teachers and classmates. Who can pass us the Letters to Santa DSP (#122349) for their holiday cards and projects? I love the colors of the Berry Blossoms paper (#122350) so I'll have to get some of that and I KNOW that Just Add Cake (#124339) will be perfect for birthday cards that my girls are sure to make for their friends at school this year. And that's just for my girls. I haven't even mentioned all the scrapbooking, cardmaking and 3D gifts that I'll be working on, especially now that I have my hands on the new Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool and the Holiday Stocking and Stocking Accents dies for the Big Shot. I'm sure I'll be purchasing multiple packs of each so I'll probably get at least 3 free packs of paper!! And don't forget about the DSP Nautical Expedition (122343) in the Summer Mini Catalog ~ that isn't going to be available after August 31st so if you like it, stock up now!

Do you have friends that scrapbook or create cards or are papercrafters? Share a link to this blog post with them, share it on your facebook page, or save a copy of the flyer below (right click and save as) and e-mail it out to your friends. You never know who is looking for this for themselves or who is looking to get a gift for someone else and needs a good idea.

And to get your creative juices flowing, here are some photos from the samples at convention, showing lots of ideas for your Designer Series Paper projects. I don't know who made these projects since they were on display. If I knew for sure, I would happily give credit where credit is due.

Enjoy and have a wonderful day,
Rose-Ellen
