Ink, Stamp and Scrap

FREE Tutorial until the End of the Year

One of my New Year's resolutions is to provide more ideas to you more often in more ways.  Wow!  I have a plan to get this done and now I just need to get to it.  One of the first steps to any plan is getting organized.  Under that category, one thing that will make delivering this information easier is to switch email service providers.  Right now I use Constant Contact and I really LOVE them.  It's an easy service to use, but it has some limitations.  I'm switching to aWeber for more capabilities and I've done a lot of training in the past couple of months to get ready for this.  

Now you come in...

Please take a minute to sign-up for emails from me (even if you already get them).  I will be transitioning to aWeber starting in January.  Some emails will come from them and others from Constant Contact.  For those of you who received the twelve Holiday Helper email - those were from aWeber.  

No good deed goes unrewarded...

Sign up for my new email system before December 31, 2011 and you will get a FREE tutorial showing you how to make this gift card holder:

All you need to do is sign up using the blue email form at the top of the blog.  It's labeled "Join My Email List and Receive a FREE Tutorial".  

Thanks and have a great day!

Quick Christmas Cards

With Thanksgiving tomorrow I thought I'd show you some really cute and quick Christmas cards you can still consider making this year. Don't forget to take advantage of all the great specials available. You can see them in HERE.

If you need help ordering or would like to stop by my house for help with cutting just get in touch. I'm happy to help you in any way I can.

For this sample I used many of the stamps from the Tags til Christmas stamp set. I also used the fun new Square Duo die for the Big Shot. Don't forget that the first people to purchase the Big Shot on Friday get a great gift from me FREE SHOPPING DOLLARS in December! See the details HERE.

This sample uses the Tags Til Christmas Set and the square die again. I love the Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Paper. I'm sure you can tell since I designed an entire scrapbook around it. If you want to make one there is still time to register. Just click HERE.

Have a great day!

Pay It Forward

I loved this movie – the message was so powerful! If everyone asked that a good turn be repaid by having it done to others instead, the world would be a much happier place.

During this final month of the year I'd like to take some of the blessings that you've bestowed on me and my family and pay them forward. Most of you know that this "stamping thing" is my job. My family uses the money I earn from this to pay for the activities my kids participate in and other extras. We truly appreciate your loyalty and support. As with any other family, ours has its share of goods and bads, ups and downs. In the past few years our family has been touched by Celiac Disease and Breast Cancer. Several of my family members continue to battle diabetes as well.

During the month of December any order placed with me for $50 or more will be put in my Pay It Forward Drawing. This will also include any Gift Certificates purchased for $50 or more. The winner will get to pick which of the following organizations I will donate to:

• Celiac Disease Foundation (www.celiac.org)
• Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (http://ww5.komen.org/donate/donate.html)
• American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org)

I will donate 15% of the total value of the orders placed in the drawing. My orders for this month (including all the great products I get to preorder from the Occassions Mini and Sale-A-Bration catalogs) will be included in this total as well. I seem to have a hard time ordering less that $50 at a time.

I will draw the winner's name and post it on my site January 1. I will post again once she has decided on the organization and to let you know how much will be donated.

Thanks again for a great 2010. Let's go out by helping a great cause.

Have a great day!
