Crazy for Christmas

I know some of you are thinking it’s way to early for Christmas.  While I do agree with you and I have put out my fun fall decorations and I’m waiting until after Thanksgiving to put up my Christmas stuff.  However I do know that this time of the year calendars fill up fast so I wanted to give you the dates of my annual “Crazy for Christmas” stamp Camp.  This is my favorite event of the year when I will have lots of fun Christmas gift project you can make for friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.  I’m still working on all the projects, but here’s a sneak peek of one of my favorites so far.

This cute snowman is made with our cookie boxes.  Each box can still be opened so you can fill them with fun cookies (our cookie press make this so easy) or other treats. Then when the treats are gone they will still have a cute snowman for their home.  This is just one of the many fun projects I will have to make so mark your calendars and plan to come.  Be watching for more info. on all the projects or better yet visit me at Novemberfest Thanksgiving weekend at Logan Rec Center to see them in person.

Fun Snowman Card

I’m participating in a Stampin’ Up! Boot-Camp right now and each week we have a Stampin’ Challenge.  This week our challenge was to use a layout in the catalog and then change the colors and stamp set.  I thought I would share the fun card with you.  I love how it turned out and I think I will be adding it to my Christmas Card Crunch Class (be watching for details.)

This was one of my favorite projects.  It was the bonus project for my monthly members and anyone attending for the first time.  I actually took the idea out of the Sale-a-bration Catalog.  It’s a fun notebook.  I thought it would be great to keep in your purse or just to give as a gift.  This was one of the three different colors guest could choose from.  Of course it uses more great SAB product.

Christmas Countdown Class

Advent Calendars are a fun way to count down the holiday season so when I saw the new set 25 & counting in the mini catalog I just new I had to have a countdown class.

There are three different styles to choose from:

Peak-a-boo countdown
(featured in the holiday mini)

This fun advent calendar is featured on a 12×12 paper.  You can attach it to a board or magnet which ever you desire.  I haven’t quite finished it yet so it’s not very straight so please forgive me.  I’m going to be putting mine on magnet so I can reuse it each year.

This is a great calendar to create an activity calender.  Just write down a fun activity on the back such as: making cookies, building a snowman, Christmas Caroling or reading a story.  You can even put a different Christmas book down and read a book each day.  This is great if you have young children.

Cost- $15.00
Magnet Add on- $5.00
Additional Countdowns- $10.00

Candy Countdown

Don’t you just love this countdown.  It’s the perfect countdown to enjoy a little treat each day.  You may need to make one for everyone in your family.

This was an idea that they showed at our recent meeting and I new I just had to add it to this class.  Sorry I don’t remember who is was to give her credit.

Cost- $15.00
Includes Candy
Additional Countdowns- $10.00

Countdown Kisses

Who doesn’t love kisses and it’s even better when you get one everyday.  This fun countdown has cubicles for each day that holds a kiss.

I saw this countdown on our group site Stampin’ Connection. It’s a place for demonstrators to share ideas.  Just another great reason to be a demonstrator.  It was created by Brenda Quintana.

Cost- $15.00
Includes Kisses
Additional Countdowns- $10.00

 

You may sign up for as many countdowns as you would like.  Plan about 1 hour per countdown.  You will probably be faster if you are making multiples.  You may need to stamp and punch then assemble at home.  You can come anytime during the class hours just be sure to plan enough time to finish before 9:00 PM.

Class Info:
Date: Tuesday November 15th
Time: 2:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Sign up by: Saturday November 12th
This is a pre-pay class please pay when you sign up.

I will have glue sticks for you to use if you would like other adhesive please bring your own.

Space is limited E-mail me or Call me to reserve your spot,
435-245-5321 or 435-232-2655
andersoncandice@hotmail.com.

Want yours for 1/2 price?  Just share this link with your friends by e-mail or on Facebook.  Tell them you are coming and they should too.  Have them give me your name when they sign up and you will get one countdown of your choice at 1/2 price.  You can get one for each friend that signs up.  So start sharing today.
