THEY HAVE ARRIVED AND ARE SELLING OUT FAST!!!! 

Tim Holtz has once again introduced a Limited Edition 3 Spring Distress Inks.  Lovely colours and what's different this time, is he has brought out the re-inkers for them as well as the re-inkers for the 2 other Limited Edition lines he introducted last Fall and Winter.  I have 25 sets of pads on order plus some of the re-inkers so if you want a set, contact us NOW.  Everyone is calling and asking about them.

First of all here’s the update on our Sept 7, 8 and 9th Fall Fling.  There’s 5 spaces left for Saturday the 8th at the hall.  There might be 1 or 2 openings for a Saturday class but there are a few openings for the classes on Sunday and a few for the Saturday night class that Brenda has opened up.  Call soon if you’re still on the fence about attending.  Pictures of the classes are now up on the site.   www.stamplicity.com  check under programs.
 
This Sunday is our yearly party for all my 3 “S” members.  Part of the festivities is a garage sale that will be in our workshop.  Although this party is only for our 3S members we have decided to extend the garage sale and open it to all our customers on Monday the 23rd 10 to 9 and Tuesday the 24th  9 to 5.  After that some of the ladies have offered to leave their leftover treasures with us so we can add it to the big Stamplicity garage sale that happens at our Fall Fling.   At that time our store adds our workshop treasures to any other donations and all monies collected are donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.  It’s a fun time where tickets are sold and the attendee puts their tickets in cups beside the items where they hope their ticket is drawn from.
 
We have just found out we are now able to get Magnolia Stamps from my regular distributor.  Therefore if you are looking for a particular stamp we can probably order
it for you now.
 
As well as now selling our display cards, we have about 10 scrapbook double page layouts that Brenda made previously to teach her classes.  If you know Brenda’s work, these pages will go quickly.  There is one on Sesame Street, one on Cookie Monster, a couple Disney layouts and a few Boy layouts.  All my grandchildren are a little too old for these layouts or they wouldn’t be for sale.  They are amazing.
 
We have a nice selection of Cherry Lynn Dies back in the store although we are still waiting for Memory Box and Poppystamps dies.  Speaking of Cheery Lynn we have posted at least 5 video links that you can watch and learn about these fantastic dies. Just go to our site www.stamplicity.com and under “products” “new products” page 3 and check it all out.
 
Don’t forget about our 2 Sweet Deals...Penny Black and the Quick Quotes Canvas Album.  These can be seen on the site under Programs.
 
 
That’s it for now,  Hope to see you Monday or Tuesday as there are some fabulous garage sale items....lots of everything regarding stamping/scrapbooking and more!

The Saturday  “ATC” and both Sunday classes still have openings
We should have pictures up within the week as Brenda now has all the supplies she needs to design the classes.  It was all up in her head till now.  My goal is to just give her the back workshop and keep out of her way.  When she comes to show me what’s she has done I get as excited as she is.  Make your decision about attending our fling before everything fills up.
 
Many customers ask us if we sell our sample cards on display.  Although we are not selling ones that are currently on display, we now have 2 large baskets of cards that have been featured in the store previously.  The cards sell from $2.00 to $4.50 depending on the work that was involved to make them.  There is no verse inside these cards so you can personalize them depending on the event.  There are many verses you can get off the internet for any occasion.  Just google, for example  “get well card verses” and many verses will show up.
 
Many of Tim’s Idealogy items are back in the store.  We have filled our peg boards with new cling stamps and at the end of this month, with our feature of Penny Black as our Sweet Deal, there will be a nice selection of wood mount.  Next month’s Sweet Deal will be Stamping Bella (a Canadian Company) and we will feature a Pinecone Press scrapbooking/card kit.  Check out the site soon for pictures on that.
By this coming mid week, we should have many more Cheery Lynn and Marianne Dies in stock as well as some new 3D’s that are just gorgeous.  I still am waiting impatiently for Memory Box, Poppystamp dies as well as the new embossing folders from Australia.
 
Is anyone looking for a baby album kit to complete?  I have cute baby boy and  baby girl kits from Pinecone Press that include everything to put a unique album together.  Check the site under new products.
 
I think that’s all for now.  Have a nice Sunday everyone!!
This newsflash is mainly about our Fall Fling but of course at Stamplicity there is always something to talk about.
 
Take note that our store will be closed Good Friday the 6th, Easter Sunday of course and I will take a well needed additional day and will be closed Monday the 9th.
 
We now have a Bo Bunny paper line in the store called “Country Garden” and it is truly beautiful along with their embellishments.  Apparently, Bo Bunny has an online class on an album that we have the paper for, so although we were going to bring this out on our next quarter we know people will want this line now due to the on-line class.  Come in and check out this line.
Brenda has a new set of classes that are now posted with pictures on our site..... it’s under “programs”.  I hope you’re checking my blog daily, I’m doing it my way and I’ve had alot of positive comments.  You can get to it right from my site www.stamplicity.com. After you read the blog keep up-to -date with the other sections, new products, gallery etc.  That’s it for news.  Now I want to let everyone know about...
