Design Team Call Changes

Hey All,

I have been speaking to some very creative people who are part of other Design Teams and I have decided to make a few minor changes to the "Perks" you will get.

The first change is to the cost of the Design Team kits you will receive each month....there will be no charge.  It seems it is only fair if you are working designing for me that I offer the kits at no charge.  :)

The second change is to the mention of the Christmas Party.  Obviously if I have DT members from all over Canada it will be a little tough to host a Christmas party.  So, this will be removed.

The third and final thing is not necessarily a change....there has been some concern about doing YouTube videos.  Although this will still remain a requirement we will have a DT meeting discussing the frequency of the videos and try and answer any question you may have.

Ok this is it for now.  I am off to the the Christian Life Academy crop this weekend.  I am super excited about this one.  :)

Talk to you all soon......

Long Long Long Day!!!

Ok, yes!!!  I am supposed to be working my day job, but seriously!!!  I just can't seem to get motivated.  So, here I sit blogging basically about nothing.  Hahahahaha....anything to kill the time on this never ending day.

The sun is shining outside.  Which is fantastic, considering the weather we had yesterday...which was anything but fantastic.  LOL  It really was the weirdest weather I had ever experienced....there was rain, snow, hail, lightening and thunder....we got it all in one day.  As they say only in Saskatchewan.  :)

Hmmmm what else can I yammer on about....ohhh our youngest daughter is in English riding lessons and last night she jumped 3 feet for the first time.  :)  It was a big deal for her and me....I wish I could have gotten a picture of her smile when she was done.  I know that 3 feet doesn't sound like a lot but trust me when you are cantering along on a 1200lb horse....it really is a big deal.  :)  You know I just thought of something...she is not going to be happy with me if she ever finds out I was blogging about her.  Hahahahah...good thing I am not using names....better thing that she never reads my blog.  LOL

I have some exciting news about the store...more new product is going to be arriving soon..but I think I will keep it secret till it arrives.  More CHA goodies.  :)

Well I guess I should really get back to work....

Talk to you soon.... :)

Brand Spank'n New!!! - Lindy's Stamp Gang

Hey all!!!


Well it has been forever since I have blogged....things have been a little crazy around here.


Less than a week after we got home from CHA I was off to Vegas with my hubby for a week  We had a blast!!!


Then is was our annual Scrap-A-Palooza which was a huge success.  Fun was had by all.....


I also took the store to the Humboldt crop which was FANTASTIC!!  Donna and I always enjoy this crop.  It has to be one of our favorites to attend. 
 
Ok now onto the good stuff.  :)  

I am supper excited to announce 
Scrap'n With Flair 
is now carrying the 
Lindy's Stamp Gang products!!!!!


We are the only store in Saskatchewan that offers you these absolutely amazing products.






We are carrying a wide variety of colors of their Strarburst Sprays, Color Shots, Moon Shadow Sprays, Magicals and Embossing Powders.


The colors of the Strarburst Sprays, Stains, and Color Shots provide a deep, rich, vibrant color with a two-toned shimmer.  These are all dye based products, which give them that vibrancy and can be used on any porous surface, (paper, wood, fabric, balsa, chipboard, etc.)




Moon Shadow sprays offer vintage colors with a brown undertone and a gorgeous secondary color.  Based on the Old World walnut ink recipe. (Can be used on any porous surface)



The Glitz Spritz sprays are the softer side of Lindy's Gang.  They are just a shimmer.  Great for adding shimmer to any project or soft pastel-like color.  Use for wedding invitations, baby announcements, frames, altered art and mini-books.



Unique, vibrant colors for painting.  Magicals match the Starbursts perfectly!!!  Use as you would a powdered pigment paint, but make sure to mix the powder thoroughly with water before applying.




These Two-Toned embossing powders are sure to give any of your projects that extra pop.  These are vibrant embossing powders with a unique secondary shimmer as you move your projects.  Gives your creation amazing movement!


When your Lindy's products are shipped to you they are in a dry powder state.  This saves on shipping costs, the weight is lower and here in Saskatchewan we won't have to worry about the product freezing and exploding in the box.  :)  It is the perfect solution.


The following video was created by Tracey the owner of Lindy's Stamp Gang.  She shows you how to prepare your sprays for use for the first time.  It is super simple...no special chemicals are needed just plane old H2O (water).


I should also tell you that the spray tops on the Lindy's products are 100% guarenteed!!!!  That in itself is amazing!!!  They will never clog if you follow the instructions on the video.








Ok I am off but I will be back soon.  I have some more super exciting news!!!!!
