Reminder!

Hey everyone!

Just a quick reminder that there are only THREE days left before the contest closes! So get your creativity shakin' and send in your cards!

There is also a new, convenient link beside our posts (under "About Me") that will take you directly to our website. Thanks to Therese in Trenton for the suggestion :)

Last week we also got some new sets from Rubber Stamp Tapestry!!! Ohhhhh I'm in heaven! There's so much you can do with these cute little peg stamps!!! I'm not much of a stamper (that's Ma's department) but these make me want to stamp my little heart out...IN my scrapbooks!!

Ready for the killer? This is a sneak peak from my Scrapbook Embellishments class ;)

We also got some Viva Decor in! I haven't figured out how to use it yet - but Mom feels like she won the lottery playing with them!!

Fall Contest

Well, now that we have things SOMEWHAT organized I guess it's time to get going on CONTESTS again!!

We're doing the general theme of FALL! So that means anything Halloween, Thanksgiving, Leafy looking or whatever else! Get creative with the red, yellow and orange!

You know, I made an awesome (I do say so myself!) anniversary card for my boyfriend that was totally fall with oak leaves and fall colours. THEN brilliant me LOST it before our anniversary this weekend? Didn't I feel dumb!! I didn't even take a picture of it to show you guys! Shame on me!!

Okay! So this contest is going to end at 7pm on Saturday October 29th!
The winner will receive their choice of a Class Act Stamp and it will be mailed directly to you!

Please e-mail me your card at raychel @ classact.ca (without the spaces) and we'll announce a winner shortly after, so keep your eyes peeled!

Scrapfest!

Anyone coming to Scrapfest in Oshawa this weekend?

We couldn't get a booth...but we will have a flyer running around for 10% off THIS WEEKEND ONLY (remember we're closed Sunday)

We will have extended hours this Saturday only (10-7) and we have all of our classes now available!

Catching Up!

Okay, well...the craziness is OFFICIALLY OVER!!! WOOO HOO!! Our grand opening was on Saturday...and all the preparation from that pretty much consumed our lives for the whole month of September. We had Colin Carrie(Member of Parliament for Oshawa) and Jerry Ouellette (MPP), as well as a representative from the Mayor's office, and SNAP Oshawa newspaper! It was crazytown - population US!! Thank you to all of you who help make our Grand Opening a very special day!

Here are some pictures from the big day...
Our store...

Everyone seeing what the buzz is about!

Cutting the ribbon!

And Sue warned us that things will be so crazy that day that the police would have to be called! Well, thanks for jynxing us, Sue!! I guess we were being too crazy...
(just kidding...they were doing something else...but it was hilarious :))

September is for Sue!

Girl...is there anything you can't make look amazing?? Just throwing that out there.

Greetings
Autumn is in the air and the new fall stamps are fabulous. This little wheelbarrow was a pleasure to colour. I used prisma pencils and OMS (my personal favourite) and Tim Holts distress ink to make the sponged frame around the main image and to shade the die-cut pumpkin which is popped up on a foam dimensional. The greeting is just the right size to fit into a smaller space without looking squashed.
Get out and enjoy the crisp fresh air before we really get frost on the pumpkin!
