Beautiful Tea Shoppe Pen Image...

One thing I love about the Tea Shoppe Stampset is this stunning pen image and 'Thanks' message.  In particular, I love that you can put a beautiful set of cards to give as a gift or even just have on hand in only a minute!  We made these cards in this month's Quick & Easy Lemon Squeezy class - SO pretty!

Kitchen Cabinets and Countertops for Sale..

I'm selling off my beloved cabinets and countertops - these will be great for someone suiting their place and needing new kitchen cabinets, or even as a craft studio for someone.  

Here's the layout (using the IKEA design studio) with the product lists and prices new.

In addition to:

All the cabinets come with lighting

See below in the pic for the price breakdown for the lights, stools and knife rack - the price list is missing the inline under the cabinet power outlet that cost about $20 as well.  Everything is in great condition - only a few years old! I have a nicer countertop than in the IKEA pricebreakdown - I have the imitation granite, and because it hasn't been cut yet for a sink, you'll be able to put the perfect sink in!

It comes with two barstools in brand new condition - only 2 months old..

So, new, with HST everything totaled $3852.  So, I'm selling for $1500, OBO. 

Call me at - 604-306-7520  :)

Selling off my Paper Racks!

$40 each - come on out to my sale in the next couple of days to see them - 3073 E 21st Ave - BACK DOOR entrance.  

Selling My Ink Cabinets!

<sigh> This is one of the hardest things I'm selling off - my mom and her hubby JUST made these for me for Christmas - it's custom made for we stampers - a space for the inkpad, matching stamping spots and sponge, sponge dauber, and 2 reinkers on each row!

$30 each (2) - call me to reserve yours!  604-306-7520

Goodbye....

I have good news and bad news, and by the heading, you probably have already guessed the bad news.  First with the good - I have recently taken on a new position as Vice President of Business Development for Groupanizer. I actually started the position last week, with great intentions to continue my Stampin' Up! business one week a month with 3 weeks focused on Groupanizer.  However, once I started the position, it quickly became evident that I am taking on an enormous role that will require my focus and 100% commitment.  The upshot?  I had to make a very difficult decision - to retire from my Stampin' Up! business in order to focus solely on this new role. 

This was not an easy decision - my business is building, my team is growing, my clubs are full.  I LOVE this company, I love the people who run it, I love my team, and I love my customers (YOU!).  But in the end, there really wasn't a decision to make - this position will take up more than just time for me - it will be a bigger venture than even building my SU! business ever was, as I will be approaching a global market (exciting and new!).  

I have loved my time with you all, and thank you so much for being on this journey with me.  You may be wondering what's next for you, and so I thought I would help you out with that.  First off, as you may imagine, I am selling off everything in my studio, and that is a very extensive list of items!  Today and tomorrow (Thursday and Friday) from 11am to 11pm I will be 'open door' and welcome everyone to come and snap up the bargains. I will be selling everything from crafting supplies to stamping supplies (including stenciling, candle making, scrapbooking, cardmaking and more!).  At this point, I plan to be finished by Friday night, but if I still have items left that evening I will open up one more day to sell on Saturday - watch for an announcement on that on Friday.

I am placing one last big order this weekend, and will be offering a special for customers on my mailing list that will be sent out TODAY - be sure you check your email box for it, as it's a good one!  If you want to send me an order, please email me here in the next couple of days and I'll put it all together and get it here before the end of the month.  You can continue to submit orders through my online store until June 30th, when my website will be officially turned off.  

You may be wondering where you can place your orders when my website finally turns off (scheduled to turn off at the end of June).  There are several local demonstrators whom I recommend you check out, and hopefully one of them matches your own personality!  

• Angela McKay, North Shore
• Marlene Peters, Delta 
• Ida Chan, Vancouver/Burnaby

As I said, I have *loved* my time with you, and will miss you all very much.  I hope our paths cross in the future, and good luck in your crafting!  I'm sure more questions will come up, and I will be happy to answer them as I can..

All the best to you in your future crafting adventures...

An Easy Card with Tea Shoppe

For this month's Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy Card Class we will be using the Attic Boutique Designer Series paper and the beautiful Tea Shoppe stampset.  Check out this card using the Pearl Jewels!

Super fun, simple and quick!  Come on out to the Wednesday Quick & Easy Class and make this and two other cards!

Beautiful Attic Boutique

Wow - I'm just loving this Attic Boutique Paper!  In only a few weeks it will be gone as it retires out of the mini catalog at the end of April, so if you want to grab it, be sure you order it soon!

We'll be making this card in this month's Technique class - if you look carefully at the Happiest Birthday tag, it is made using the Tapping technique featured in this month's Stampin' Success magazine.  Come on out if you want to learn to do this too!  It will be offered twice this month:

• Monday, April 16th
• Wednesday, April 25th

A Beautiful Tapping-Tea Card

This month in our monthly Stampin' Success magazine that we get as demonstrators, a technique was featured called 'Tapping with Markers'.  I had to try this technique, and so I put together this card for our monthly Technique Class - come on out if you want to learn to do this too!  It will be offered twice this month:

• Monday, April 16th
• Wednesday, April 25th

I was thinking it would be cool to give a teabag gift inside this card to someone who are you thinking about - don't you think?  I used the Tea Shoppe Stampset that is retiring from the mini catalog at the end of this month - such a pretty stampset - I'll miss it!!  (125547)

April's Stampset of the Month Is Here!

I'm so excited about this month's Stampset of the Month card and stamp suite!  For me, I find that one type of card I seem to NEVER have on hand is little-kid cards.  So, when someone either gives birth to a new baby, or has a little kid birthday, I always have to scramble to get a card ready!  So, this month I thought I would feature a great little kid birthday stampset and collection of cards for my Stampset of the Month Club members!
