ATC LOVERS!!  This is for YOU!!  As some of you may know, Ann is going out to Calgary for a few days (August 19-21) to visit and teach at Paper Pastimes.  It has been suggested- very friendly of course- that perhaps a little challenge between the stores (STAMPERS and Paper Pastimes) would be interesting.  So, to that end, I want to challenge all MY customers to pull out their nicest papers, embellishments, ribbons, etc, and blow the socks off Carole's ladies at Paper Pastimes in the first ever OVER THE TOP swap!!! No five minute cards for this one, please!! 

Colleen in Calgary, of Stamp It Australia has also issued an ATC challenge using Stamp It Australia stamps, with one winner from each store receiving an unmounted set by Stamp It Australia, as a prize for the best ATC designed using a Stamp It Australia stamp, any theme.  If you've seen the sets, you know what an incredible prize this is!!!!

The regular ART-I-FACTS program for 2010-2011 is now full for the Tuesday night group- HOWEVER it was suggested that possibly a second group could run alongside of with the first (on a Wednesday night 6-8pm) and so we will be taking names for the next little while to see if there is enough interest. (We will run a group with five or more.)  Not sure what the Art-I-facts program is all about?  Basically it is a group of interested folks that meet once a month for a mini-class, refreshments, a show-and-tell, and friendship. The cost is $150 for the year (ten months) or $17.50 per month. (This year's theme is TECHNIQUES and every month a new technique will be explored and practiced, with all participants taking home their pieces to be brought back the following month as a finished project or two to be shown to the others- thank you to Kay for the great idea!)  If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call us.
