It’s a balmy -1 in Montreal today – I’m sure people were tempted to go out in shorts!! It’s been so cold here that -1 seems like spring weather 😛

Hiya Stampers!! It is still FREEZING in Montreal. Like gross cold. Which, as always, gives me a great excuse to not have to go out, which means I can play in my craft room!! Yay! I just moved to Montreal on October, and everyone tells me that this is an unusually cold winter. Like that makes me feel much better – it was TWENTY degree difference from back home (Vancouver) to here last week. 
So, here is a sneak peek at one of the cards that we will be making in the Valentine’s Day workshop this month using the new “Just Sayin” stamp and die bundle that Stampin Up just released in their new Occasions catalog last week.
Just Sayin Stampin Up ‘Love Ya’ Word Bubble cardThanks for stopping by stampers!! Don’t forget – your comments are welcome and appreciated!!
Well, it’s -19 in Montreal today. Yep. MINUS NINETEEN!! Which gives me the perfect reason to not go out, and stay in my craft room all day!!!
Now that the holidays are over I am able to host workshops again. I have two this month that are going to be great:
Here is one of the cards that we will be making for the Valentine’s Day workshop:
Montreal Card Workshop: Valentines’ Day project #1We will be using the limited edition “Follow My Heart” stamp set for this workshop – there is something romantic about the Eiffel Tower is there?! *sigh* And being in the French province of Canada, I thought this stamp set was very apropos this year.
Until next time stampers!!
Using the owl punch from Stampin Up, this workshop will feature three different cards using one punch. I love this punch – it is so versatile that it was the very first item I bought when I started out!
Here is one of the three card projects we will be making. I made this card a while ago and the blog post I wrote about it has gotten so much positive feedback that I thought I would include it as a workshop project! There will also be a Birthday themed card and a wedding themed card using the owl punch as well. Curious to know how you can use the owl punch to make these? Register to the workshop and find out 😛
This class is suitable for all levels of crafting experience. All instruction will be done in English, however some stamps and catalogs may be available in French.
My workshops are located in the heart of Montreal in the Notre Dame De Graces (NDG) area. I am easily accessible by transit and driving (just off the 20 or 15 / Decarie)
