March Club Project #2

I know I’m so behind in posting these in a timely fashion…this month has been a bit crazy. There seems to be someone sick or a snow day or March Break or an event to get ready for….why can’t we have more hours in a day?! This week I’m getting ready for the Capital Parent Show at the Nepean Sportsplex. You can read my previous post for a special coupon from me if you attend. Many other demonstrators are getting ready this week for the Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Cruise, but, sadly I’m unable to go. Boooooohoooo. I did earn it, but, couldn’t find a babysitter who would watch my 3 kids-so, instead I’ll take the money entitlement. I am sad though…it’s always so much fun to catch up with friends and enjoy the swapping, relaxation and to visit new places I’ve never been.

I am happy to say though that 4 ladies from my group will be attending the Stampin’ Up! Bermuda Cruise. Congrats to Marlayne Hardy, Kay Smith, Nancy Gauthier and Maryse Morneau who each earned the cruise for 2 from Stampin’ Up!!! I know they’ll all have such a great time-I can’t wait to hear all about it when they return!

For today’s share- you’ll find below some of my favourite Family Frames that some of my club members created this month! We used the All in the Family stamp set-if you don’t have this set…you really need it- it’s adorable!!!! All the ladies created wonderful ones, but, I couldn’t post 26 of them-so, I picked out the most unique ones to show you!

 

Aren’t they great?!
Hope you get some Rubber Stamping done today!!! Have a great day!
Josee- who’s looking forward to when Ottawa finally gets Spring weather!!!

Come visit me at the Capital Parent Show

I’ll be in exhibitor at the Capital Parent Show this weekend in Ottawa at the Nepean Sportsplex- so make sure to visit and say hi…I’ll be in booth #204! (You’ll find a discount coupon to get in to the show on the Capital Parent site!)

Click here for a special coupon FROM ME that you can get initialed at the show and use in April.

Hope to see you there! Josee

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone!!! Here’s a cute treat my kids and I put together for our family dinner. Even my son got into the whole crafting thing while making them…it was really cute!

Blessings, Josee
