No More Excuses! Let's go Crazy!

So, you say you're not crafty?

Do you tell yourself, "I wish I could do that?"

Would you love to hand make something that's simple and inexpensive?

If you answered "That's ME!" to any of these, you need to come over and craft with me in my "Valentine Crazy Day" on Monday, February 4th @ 6:30pm.  I'll demo three make-n-takes AND you'll go home with your own Happy Valentine's Day single Stamp (clear) along with a package of 1"x8" (50 count) cello bags to make lots on your own to give away to all your Valentines!
Here's the details:
~ You must prepay your class fee of $12 by Friday, January 18th to order the Valentine Bundle supplies.
~ If you bring a bag of Valentine M&Ms or Valentine Candy Corn with you to this event, you'll be able to make even more treat bags before leaving this evening!
~ Also, if you'd like to have a package of our Whisper White Cardstock, Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad and/or any other products to go home with you, just let me know and I'll add those to your class fee and they'll be ready for you that evening!
~ Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!  I check my emails frequently during the day and it's the best way to reach me!  :)

Thanks for Inkin' of me,

What? I just finished making some beautiful baby shower invites for a friend. You may have seen this design before, but it's a great idea!

I wish I could show you the inside, as it's almost as cute! I decorated the back of the envelope with a new stamp set - Packed For Baby. This stamp set is a single stamp found in the Occasions Mini that just came out on January 4th!
