August Classes & More Shop News

I have a few things to let you all know about:

* Aug
ust Classes are now posted on the Stamp Works Website.

* Great Impressions August Stamp of the Month stamps have arrived!

* More Flower Soft is on it's way. And guess what's coming in this shipment -- the new Diamond Range Series POLAR WHITE! This is a speciality color with unique properties. The semi translucent and frosted effects of Polar White have been specifically created to work on white areas within designs. This stuff will create the most realistic snow effects ever seen in paper crafts! As soon as it arrives, I will let you know.

Everyone is having a blast celebrating A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA! If you haven't already, I hope you can stop by the store to see all the new A Muse products - maybe even take one of the classes. There are over 30 cards and projects on display!

Here are a few pictures Lori took of all the fun we are having. If you happen to take any pics during the event, I would love for you to share them with me.

Friday - Santa's Toy Box
These ladies made the cutest little toy chest and then filled it with 14 adorable gift tags.


Saturday - Make & Take
I always have a make & take project on Saturday's - but today Lori took the floor. Not only did we use new A Muse stamps - but she demo'd how to use the Scor-Pal. Everyone loved this card and were amazed at how quick and easy it was to create.
