Fast & Fabulous Friday - Finally!

Hello Friends

It seems like it has been quite a while since I posted a Fast & Fabulous Friday for you.
So today I have just that.  And I especially wanted to use blue for this card, since it (or a slight variant) is intended specifically for Lynn. 

Last night Lynn picked up a partial order and I hadn't yet had a chance to write out my usual Thank You card to accompany the bag.   It has been quite a while since I gave anyone a "naked" bag and it felt 'wrong' to me, and Lynn was disappointed too!  I love that my customers look forward to the Thank You cards I include with their orders.  Because in all honesty - my customers are why I do this.  I love sharing my love/addiction/passion for stamping with them.   And I love to be able to do something as small as give them a Thank You note with each order to let them know that I appreciate them!  At any rate, all this is to say that I gave Lynn a "naked" bag yesterday.  And now that the rest of her order has arrived, I need to have a Thank You card specifically with her in mind to make up for the 'naked' (partial) order.  Lynn loves blue.  So I designed this card using blue, with Lynn in mind.

Supply List
Stamps - Creative Elements, Papillon Potpourri, A Word For You
Paper - Naturals Ivory
Ink - Not Quite Navy
Tools and Accessories Basic Pearls

Did you notice how simple this card is?  A single layer.  No Big Shot.  No glitter.  No heat embossing.  Not even any sponging!~  It doesn't get any simpler than that!
This is one of those cards where you let the stamp set itself to do all of the 'heavy lifting'.

And in other news....Today is the last day to get a Free package of brads/vintage trinkets when you place a $50 order.  At the end of the day I will also pick from among the online orders to see who wins the Scentsational Season stamp set. That poor little Gingerbread Man is calling out for some love and attention!  And beginning tomorrow, there will be a new giveaway with $50 orders, and a new prize for online orders placed through until Nov 16.

If you live anywhere in Canada, these offers apply to you so get your order in today!
And ask me how you could get a full set of ink pads for FREE.  That's right, choose Brights, Subtles, or Regals for FREE.  No hassle, no stress, no problem.  Contact me today for all the details.

As for the rest, have a happy Weekend and God Bless,

Scentsational Season Giveaway

Hey there friends.  It's a cold and gray Sunday here, but I wanted to bring you a little Cheer so I am re-posting a card from a while back.

Remember when I posted it the first time?  Well I loved it then and I love it now so I thought I'd show it to you again.  Because remember - you could win the stamp set (Scentsational Season) I used to make the Gingerbread Man and the Candy Cane - just by submitting a $50 online order this week!  In fact, a $50 order gets you the brads or trinkets of your choice (my Bonus Gift to you), PLUS a chance to win this cute stamp set, PLUS a chance to win the November end-of-month prize - an Ornament Keepsakes Bundle or a $50 Gift certificate.

For details about the $50 Bonus Gifts and the November weekly and monthly Bonus Draws, see my post of November 2.   The offer is good to anyone in Canada so feel free to participate.

And on that note -- I hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing and happy Sunday!
God Bless you all,     ~Cynthia    <><

November's Anniversary Extravaganza! - week 1

Ok – Drum Roll Please…..

November is a special month for me.  At the end of the month I celebrate my 2 year Anniversary as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  Woo Hoo!!   So since November is special to me, and since Christmas is fast approaching, I am in a giving mood.  A very giving mood.  And all month long I plan on giving away goodies to my customers, both “old” and “new”. 

Here is what I propose:

Each week I will have a different Weekly Ordering Bonus -- A special bonus that you will get for each order placed that is over $50. This includes orders placed at club.  This week's Ordering Bonus (today thru Nov 9): 
your choice - a pkg of brads or vintage trinkets  If you place your order online, send me an e-mail to let me know which brads/trinkets you wish for me to send to you.  Naturally a $100 order gets you 2 gifts and likewise for each additional $50 increment.

In addition, each week there will be a Weekly Online Bonus Draw for orders that are placed online.  For every online order that is over $50 (before s&h and tax), your name will be entered in a draw for a super product bonus.  And your name gets entered for each and every additional increment of $50.  So a $50 order gets you one entry, a $100 order gets you 2 entries, etc!!  This week's Online Bonus Draw winner will receive the Scentsational Season stamp set
Place an online order for $50 or more (before s&h and taxes) and your name will be entered in a draw to win this "Scentsational" Stamp set!

And then.....At the end of the month I will have a draw that includes the names of everybody who put in an online order this month (one entry for every $50 ordered) and a second draw that includes the names of everyone who placed an order of $50 or more, online or personally.  Your name could be entered multiple times and be included in both draws.  One winner will receive the Ornament Keepsakes Bundle (stamp set AND framelits) and the second winner will receive a $50 Shopping Spree.  

Place your $50 orders this month, and be entered to win these wonderful products!

Happy November everyone!!  God Bless,    Cynthia    <><
