Last Call For Pre-Registration for Nov 7 Crop..

Happy Monday to all of my ScrapNStamp Pals!


Seems that when I sent out my reminder e-mail yesterday to nudge everyone who might have wanted to get in on the $5 bonus for reserving a spot ahead of time, my computer decided to hold onto it and it only went out this this afternoon when I rebooted my machine - OOPS!  


So I wanted to let everyone know that I am extending the pre-reg bonus until tonight for anyone that may have forgotten to mark it on the calendar before now. 


Not pre-registering? That's ok, you can still come out to play - after today though the Crop fee will be the full $30.  


With this being my last Crop-Til-You Drop at the Cardinal Legion of 2010, I have been plotting some extra draw prizes, and surprises for this event.  Don't miss out !!


If there is enough interest, we could book a different venue for an all day Crop in December, but we will play that by ear -- it would likely be a Saturday though. 


Hope to see you at my ScrapNStamp Tables Soon..

NOTICE - DECORATIVE LABEL PUNCH ON BACKORDER

Beginning with the Holiday Mini preorder period, we have experienced a very high demand for our new Decorative Label Punch in the Holiday Mini Catalogue. We knew this punch would be popular based on demonstrator research and had planned accordingly, placing numerous orders for this item to prepare for the Holiday Mini sales period. Unfortunately, while we have thousands of these punches in production and in transit to our warehouse, our vendor has just informed us that they will not arrive as soon as we expected. Based on our current inventory levels, we expect to go into backorder starting today, October 20. We recognize that this punch is not only in the Holiday Mini Catalogue, but also part of our Handmade Holiday promotion that started October 19; we want to minimize the negative impact this situation will have on you and your customers, so we are implementing the following measures: We will continue to offer the Tags til Christmas Bundle as part of the Handmade Holiday promotion. This will allow your customers who still want the bundle to order it now and still receive 20 percent off. The Tags til Christmas Set will ship immediately and the Decorative Label Punch will ship as soon as we have the Decorative Label Punches in stock. This should especially help your hostesses so she doesn't lose out on orders while her guests wait until the bundle is available. As another option for customers, we have created an additional Tags Til Christmas Bundle that includes the Ornament punch instead of the Decorative Label punch. This bundle will be available throughout the promotion even when the Decorative Label Punch is no longer on backorder. All promotional materials, including the flyer and your DBWS promotion page, have been updated to reflect this additional bundle. As our partner in the success of this promotion and Stampin' Up!, we will update you on this issue as soon as additional information becomes available.  As of now, we are expecting shipments to arrive within the following timeframes: End of October First week of November Middle of November Backorders will be filled in the order they are received and as quickly as possible. Depending upon the continued sales of the Decorative Label Punch while on backorder, it is possible that not all backorders will be filled with the first shipment and may have to wait for the next scheduled shipment. We sincerely thank you in advance for your help in this difficult and unexpected situation. We are working hard to revolve this as quickly as possible and will keep you informed of any new developments. To view the updated promotional flyer and promotion details, visit the Handmade Holiday web page.

Unfortunately not all of the cards were labelled, but if you see your card here and it's not properly identified please email me at iscrapnstamp@gmail.com and I'll fix that right up! ( I do have the master list of swap participants to refer to..)

Is it too early to start plotting for Christmas?

While traditionally my answer would be a resounding Yes!!!  When I noticed a call out for a last minute Christmas card swap on our up-line group I thought I'd jump in and play.

We had few requirements.  First all materials needed to be current Stampin' Up! products, and we needed to have at least 2-3 layers.  I decided to try to put my Build a Bear supplies to a different use so thought that I would start there.

I used my Big Shot, my pastels and my blender pen and aqua painter to make this one.  All in all a very simple but easily reproducible card which is what I was hoping for!

TGIF ScrapNStamp Pals!  Have a good one :)

Hope that all of you celebrating this weekend have a wonderful Thanksgiving,  or as we often said in our family - Happy turkey Day!  Stay Safe and Happy..  :)
