Satmpin' Up! No More

After a lot of thought and prayer I have decided to hang up my Stampin' Up! hat for good. I absolutely love the company and it's products, but I am increasingly finding it difficult to stay with one brand.

Those who know me know I am a manic scrapper and with that comes a need to always stretch myself.

I will still keep blogging, but now expect to see a more varied view of crafting as I discover new things. Also, you will see videos on a bunch of new stuff I found.

I will always heart Stampin! Up! and it's products (still the best quality paper I've ever seen!) and will be someone's loyal customer but this birdie has for to fly.

To all my customers, thanks for the business. Contact me and I'll hook you up with a rockin' demonstrator near you.

Love and crafts,
Cas

Monthly Challenges

Are you like me in that you are running into ruts with your crafting?  That you are making the same things over and over and feel like inspiration has left?  Well, I will start my own monthly challenges.  Each month I will issue a challenge which will either focus on a product or technique and ask that you join me in it.

Are you up for a challenge?  Check out my monthly challenge each month and see what's cooking.

YouTube Videos

Ok. So I had a lot of set backs and the universe is keeping me from posting video. So in the interim, I will be sharing some of the cool videos I found over the last few year. Almost all of the projects I will post I have made and am MORE than happy to help you make them too.

So stay tuned!

Have A Beary Good Time!

If your child is like mine, they LOVE Build-A-Bear.  However, hosting a Build-A-Bear Birthday party can be pricey and, with no food allowed in the store, makes it a "bear" to figure out how to transport kids from the party to the food.

How about hosting your next Build-A-Bear party at your own house.  Invite kids to bring their favorite bear to decorate, make a craft, have some cake and voila, you have a party.

You can buy a Build-A-Bear Party Kit which has the card, treat bag and party hat you see here PLUS coloring pages and treats (gummi bears! what else).  The package is $10 per kid ($6 per kid if you want just the raw materials - what a great way to spend time with your child getting ready for the party).

If you are interested in this kit, call me at 914.483.7464 or send me an email at cas_ramirez@yahoo.com and I'll get it to you.  Kits are made to order so please allow a couple of weeks for shipping.  Paypal and checks are accepted.

Order yours today.  :o)
