Now that the weather has turned cool, I find I'm ready to start thinking about my Christmas cards.  I keep saying I'm going to start early....this year I really mean it!!!  And we are here to help you get a head start too.Check out the new boards from Northwoods and Great Impressions for inspiration, or better yet, join us this weekend and make holiday cards with Hero Arts designer Shari Carroll.  Read on to find out more!
Fondly,

We are so fortunate to have Nationally recognized artists teach here at the shop on a regular basis.  Shari has been a designer for Hero Arts for 22 years (wow!) and she was their featured designer for October.  Check out her video tutorial. We still have a few spots left for you to join us and learn even more fabulous tips and techniques from her in person this weekend!  I was talking to her yesterday, and she said that since she designed the cards for the classes, she's thought of a bunch of other stuff she wants to teach us - so she'll be incorporating demos of working with the brand new Embossing Folders and tips for combining the Shadow and Mid-tone inks to her workshops.  I'm so excited, I'm signing up myself!  Plus, there's that added benefit of getting some Christmas cards done - see, I'm on a mission!  Hope you'll join me!  

First up is Clean & Simple Holiday, on Saturday October 13 or Sunday, October 14 from 10:30 - 12:30.

Or join us for Now Cut That Out Holiday! on Saturday, October 13 or Sunday, October 14 from 2:00 - 4:00.  Or treat yourself to both! 

   

Northwoods has done it again, with a spectacular card sample board that is sure to inspire you!  Bring your camera and come see this in person!  We have all the stamps to recreate these stunning cards and keep with my theme of getting a head start (smile) 

  

Great Impressions also has a new board.  These cards are ideal if you have LOTS of people on your Holiday card list!  And, the adorable snowman stamp is 50% off this month!  Bargain!

We will be CLOSED Thursday AND Friday, November 22 and 23.  However, we will be OPEN Saturday, November 24 and will once again participate in Small Business Saturday.  This is a GREAT deal for you!  Once registration opens (and we'll keep you posted because they do put a limit on how many people can register and we don't want you to miss out) you simply go online and register your American Express card.  Then, come in Saturday, November 24 and spend at least $25.00.  American Express will put $25.00 back on your account within a couple of days.  It really is that easy.  You get $25 of stamping stuff absolutely FREE!!!!  Wow!
