Welcome back for our last day of the online open house event. I just want to say thank you to everyone for all the love and support the last two days and I'm excited we have one more day (today) to spend together... so lets get started!

It's the most wonderful time of the year... time to start asking Santa for all the Stampin' Up! goodies you want for Christmas! And I’m ready to help your friends and family find you the perfect gift. With just a few easy steps you can help them get it just right!

1. Download and print out the My Christmas Wish List. If you have any problems please contact me.

And don't forget to use your holiday stamps to decorate your gifts. 
I used the Candy Cane Christmas stamp set to add some life to these gift bags and the tissue paper. So simple!

See you back at 2pm for a chance to talk about having a party and earning free stuff!

PROJECT LIFE - OPEN HOUSE

So to wrap things up tonight I wanted to share how I use Project Life for my everyday scrapbooking. Below is a video of one of my albums - I show you how I combine both typical scrapbooking (12x12 and 8x8) along with pocket pages. This helps me have fun scrapbooking with all the creativity and fun products, but then also to include all of my pictures and shorter stories.

Here is a look at what one of the Stampin' Up! Project Life card and accessory packs look like. The one I am showing you is not available but it gives you an idea of all that is included and how much you can do with each kit.

There are several awesome kits available in the Annual Catalogue and sometimes its hard to choose. My suggestion - find a friend who would share and you each purchase a kit and split it in half and exchange. How fun would that be. Plus you could bring those kits with you to one of my Crop Nights, use my inks, stamps and other products to put together some great layouts!

Want to join me - Friday, November 11th - 7-9pm my house...

The cost of a crop night is $15 and includes access to my supplies and some yummy treats. 

Or the night can be FREE if you place an order of $25 and up. 

Bring a friend and enjoy a Ladies Night Out! 

Reserve your spot by emailing me at amy.grendel@gmail.com.

I will leave you tonight with a a few more videos from Stampin' Up! on Project Life.

Let me know if you have any questions. And I will see you tomorrow for our final day of the Online Open House. 

RECAP OF LIVE EVENT - OPEN HOUSE

Thank you to everyone who stopped in and had a look around today! For those of you who didn't get a chance, I wanted to share a quick walk through with you and some pictures from today...

Our balloons flew away but the sign, pumpkin and flowers were out to great my visitors .

Me :)

One of the fun things guests were able to do was a Make and Take a card....

My sweet sister-in-love!

These ladies were having so much fun!

Love that my nieces were able to come and join in on the crafting fun!

Here is what we did...

If you didn't get a chance to come BUT you placed an order either via email or online, 

you will receive one of these cards as a thank you!

We also enjoyed some yummy treats - the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

went over very well so I thought I would share the recipe here:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1/4 cup (50 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 Tablespoons pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F.

Mix together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda with the spices. Set aside

Mix the butter and sugars together, then add the vanilla and pumpkin puree. 

Add the flour mixture and chocolate chips.

I use a cookie scoop to put on cookie sheets and then back for 12-14mins (depending on your oven).

They are so yummy and moist. I love fall baking!

Ok and now for our first prize draw, the winner is....

(my hubby is helping me with this part to make sure its fair :)

You can either keep all of these cards for you or include the 

gift box and give it away as a gift! 

Here is a video with all the details...

FIRST CLASS REVEAL - OPEN HOUSE

Ok I'm so excited to share with you the first class reveal....

I LOVE this kit and stamp set - I have put together 2 of each of the cards already 

and loved how simple it was and yet how amazing they look!

 The cardstock is thick and beautiful. All of the products are of the highest quality. 

My favourite part - the hand stitching on each card. So incredibly cute!

Here is a little preview for you of the cards I put together:

The cost of the class includes the kit of either 9 ($25) or 18 ($50) cards, use of the stamp set, inks and adhesives. This is a great way to do up all of your cards for the season! 

It works out to approx. $2.75 a card. Love that value!
