Happy Anniversary - to ME!!  Eleven Years Ago, this year I joined Stampin' Up! for the discount and the Free Stamp Sets!!  I couldn't believe a company would be giving all of these amazing Stamp Sets AWAY - For FREE!!  I wanted them all!!  I started wanting the discount and found that this became my dream job, one where I could be a work-at-home mom, have time to craft and connect with others while making small works of art.  Celebrate this awesome season, with me, as it is one of my very favorite times of the year! 

shop!

Here’s the deal: for every $50 you spend (before tax and shipping), you get a FREE Sale-A-Bration product. That means it’s the perfect time to purchase those products you’ve had your eye on while earning more products for free.

host!

Need another excuse to get together with friends? Just host a qualifying party with at least $250 in sales during Sale-A-Bration and you’ll earn $25 more in Stampin’ Rewards! You can even apply your Stampin’ Rewards toward a Starter Kit and become a demonstrator yourself!

It’s the best time of year to join Stampin’ Up! During Sale-A-Bration, you can become a demonstrator for just $99 and choose TWO additional stamp sets for your Starter Kit—any stamp set, any price! (Excludes Sale-A-Bration sets and bundles.) Plus, the kit ships for free!

Best.Deal.Ever.
What a crazy few month's it has been.  My Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Family has exploded with over 15 new members because of the best deal in the book.  

What's that all about?  

Anyone can purchase a starter kit, and it really is the best deal in the book.  

First, you pick out any two stamp sets you want for free. Any price. (up to $104 value)
Next, you pick out $125 in product of your choice out of the catalog.

You get all of that for only $99 (free shipping).

If stamping is a big part of your fun, and you would like a discount on all your stamps moving forward, perhaps the starter kit deal is right for you!  

What you must know about the starter kit... There are no strings!  That's right, if you meet your $300 quarterly minimum, you renew your discount, and if you don't, you can drop with no penalty.

I welcome all types of demonstrators to my group.  We have happy shoppers, a few part time people who want to pay a car payment, and then one or two full timers.  

There's a spot for everyone in my group, no pressure ever.  

Click here to find out more and grab your kit before the TWO FREE STAMP SET deal is gone, late friday night.

Create and Connect over Coffee with Me!

I'd love to invite YOU to Create and Connect over Coffee and Card Making card class at Ragamuffin Coffee Roasters on Wednesday mornings until 10am.

Inspiration... Our dear friends and the owners of Ragamuffin Coffee Roasters were looking at local coffee bags from other coffee companies. When I saw this beauty I squealed!  I snagged a picture, designed the hand crafted card we had at our Card Making and Coffee card class the following day and the owners were stoked!  Isn't this beautiful?  It'd be fun nad easy to expand upon my hand made card with this amazing inspiration.
I do so love creating and having variety!  I created this pretties for my dear love and the owner of Ragamuffin.. Sarah is always gracious, funny, quick to make you laugh, calls me on my stuff and will hold my hand when life is tough (if she isn't kicking my butt).  Go ahead, come meet the great people at Ragamuffin - tell them I sent you!  (I recommend the Cinnamon Scrolls on Wednesday and Saturdays, Mexican Mocha if you can handle the heat and grab a bag of beans to make some at home!!)

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
