If the weather gets all wild and is too yucky for you to travel on the 19th or 20th, simply contact us to receive a $30 refund on your registration and get your ‘Palooza package “TO GO”!

We’ll simply ship you via ExpressPost your stamp set, 6 Make & Take project materials, complete project instructions, and your 6 week access code to our exclusive “Stampin’ Palooza Online” site!

So have no fear of snow or sleet... we'll get the fun to you, one way or another :)

Here's a sneak peek at the front of the DVD Tin project that we are making on Saturday February 20th; just one of the 6 projects to be made using the new "Sending Love" Designer papers.  

The fun part about this tin is that the attendees will be able to die-cut their own initials using the Big Shot machine, so that everyone's tins will be personalized!

What's going inside the tin, you ask?  You'll have to wait and see!

At Stampin' Palooza, you will have the opportunity to use your complimentary new stamp set to make 6 complete projects: a DVD tin for mini cards, a Scallop Circle book, a treat box and 3 additional cards.

To keep fees low, I would ask you to bring some supplies to complete the stamping projects.

If you are coming with a friend, I recommend that you share as many of these items as possible -- this will allow more workspace at your table. Please label everything you bring!

If you don't have all the tools necessary, we will have extras available to borrow as well as I'm sure those around you will be happy to share... that's the way we stampers are, after all :)

INKS:
Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Pretty in Pink classic ink pads

PUNCHES:
- Full heart
- Modern Label (or other elongated punch)
- Corner rounder
- Pinking Heart border (or another border punch)
- 1/8" hole punch or Crop-A-Dile

TOOLS:
- Cutter Kit (for distressing – sharp scissor blades will do if you don’t have this)
- Paper Piercer and Mat  
- Sanding Blocks

- Scissors
- Bone folder
- Adhesives (dry tape runner, glue stick, mini glue dots)

Display boards are a GREAT source of inspiration for stampers and scrapbookers, and my plan is to have several on display for you to look at.

WHY NOT BRING YOURS TOO, and earn extra prize tickets while you're at it?   For each display board you bring, you'll receive an extra 5 tickets (up to 15 maximum) for our door prizes - we have over $500 in Stampin' Up! product that we're giving away!

If you have Stampin' Up! swap cards, samples, things of that sort... you can put them up on a foamcoard board and bring them along to share with everyone at the event.  We will "ooh" and "ahh", I guarantee it!

Please contact me for more information and to sign up as a display board "bringer".  And in the meantime, check out October's Display Board gallery!

We will once again be holding our 'Palooza event at the Canadian Royal Legion hall on 9 Dawes Rd, just south of Danforth Ave.

This location is a 7 minute walk from the Main St subway station, the Danforth Go train station, and has plenty of parking available. Spill-over parking is available 1/2 block away at the Canadian Tire.

Once again, we're holding a NAME BADGE contest for all attendees of Stampin' Palooza!

Create and wear a fabulous name badge on Saturday Feb 20, and  "Big Shot Brent" will judge and then award a prize to his favourite.  (click HERE
to see badges from last year).

*ALL* badge wearers will also receive 2 additional door prize tickets, just for participating!

So get creative in your stamping room and show us what you've got! :)

You asked for it, so YES... we will once again be accepting non-perishable food items for the Toronto Food Bank in anticipation of their Easter Food drive as well as accepting hand-stamped cards to donate to the Toronto Ronald McDonald House.

See how much food we received at last October's Palooza event?  WOW!

* In the January class mailing that was sent out, it erroneously showed a 10 card class ($39.95) listed for that date (Feb 20, 2010) under the Stampin' Palooza header.

There will be no such class held at the studio that day, as it is scheduled for the following weekend (Saturday February 27th).

For a complete listing of my classes, please visit my Events page for more information!

YIPPEE! I'm excited to announce some more presenters for the February 20th event:

• Michelle Sturgeon
• Dina Anker
• Blair Moch
• Chanda McLean
• Christyne Richardson

We'll have some great ideas, tips, tricks and techniques to share with you.  Be sure to grab your tickets and register a spot for a fabulous day of stamping fun!!
