I am so excited this event sold out, not once, not twice but four times.  We had to add more cabins.  Thanks to all 133 folks joining my SU! team on this awesome and fun event.  All projects were designed by me.  I am so sad I won’t be able to make it, but being almost 8 months pregnant, they won’t let me cruise.  Make sure you get the specials the girls will have for you on the cruise for all upcoming events I will be doing….Thanks and have tons of fun!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited……How much fun will this be?  Mexico, the sea, a cruise, and card making!  It just can’t get any better than that!  Well, I am stoked!  This is the first cruise I will be headlinging by myself!  My cruise!  YEAH!!!  Well, here are the details!

OCTOBER 6-10, 2008

Your trip includes 4 awesome card making classes.  You will learn some new and fun techniques, perhaps a twist on an old technique while making some fantastic cards that you will probably want to keep all for yourself!  However, the classes will be designed so that you will have at least 2 copies of each project we do so you can keep one and give one away.  

The classes will be product based which means you will go home with some of the product you used to make the cards to inlclude STAMPS!

If you are new to stamping or have been stamping for a long while, you will enjoy this spectacular event.

So grab your stamp club gals, your friends and family and join me for a wonderful 5 day event packed with lots of great scenery, fun, stamping and card making.

Bring your camera becuase I will also be offering some great tips on picture taking, cropping your pictures for scrapbooking and more.

I have lots of great fun planned for this event, so hurry and register, you won’t want to miss out on getting one of those hot limited spaces!

Stay tuned….When the new catalog is revealed at SU!’s annual convention, I will be selecting the stamps and products from the new catalog for our classes.  So make sure you are on my mailing list to be one of the first to get a catalog mailed to you along with a nice surprise if you preorder it.  That begins, June 15th. 

WOW!  Stampers….I have been so busy teaching classes and doing parties during the busiest time of the SU! year!  Sell-A-Bration!  What does that mean?  Well, for every $50 you spend you get FREE STAMPS!  This is going on until March 17th.  Starting March 18th, host a stamping party and get more hostess dollars!

Well, before I get even more busier, I wanted to post this class.  Sign up TODAY to get in becuase spots are already filling up and space is limited…Just shoot me an email and call my VM with your credit card info and I will process your order.  Items need to be ordered ASAP to get here in time.  I will be at the Portland Rubber Stamp Convention this weekend and have a party tomorrow night, so I am on the go!  That is why email will be easier.  I need all orders in by Saturday noon, PST!

Live long distance and want to take this class too?  No problem!!!  This is part of my STAMPS/SCRAPS IN THE MAIL PROGRAM!  Just pay $5 for shipping added on to the price and you will receive all the items included in the Product Class Bundle.

I am so excited to be teaching rubber stamping with scrapbooking on the Ultimate Scrapbooking Cruise 2009.  What an honor to be sharing such an exciting event with the industries best!

How exciting to be traveling from FLORIDA, my home state and the wonderful and beautiful city of Ft. Lauderdale.  Then we will be heading over to the awesome and mcuh laidback island of Key West.  I was just there in October with Sandy Genovese, what an awesome trip – be on the look out for my blogs about that trip….Then on to the Cayman Islands and then to Jamaica before we head back to Lauderdale.  What an awesome trip that will be!!!  You surely won’t want to miss it!

We will be sailing on Carnival’s Brand New Freedom fun ship….

In the spirit of FUN!  And giving that my Stampin’ Up! Team name is FREEdomSTAMPerS…Then I would like to offer the following….For the first 100 folks who joins this cruising event and mentions my blog (my referral) then you will receive one of the stamp sets we will be using in my class, this way you won’t have to share with anyone else!!!

(Since this event is a year away a new catalog will be out then and you never know what new stamps will be available.  But since I am the ultimate stampin’ guru, you know we will be using stamps in my class.)

This FREE stamp offer is only good for the first 100 that reserve their space on this cruise.  For an even better incentive for you to get your friends together for a fun Girl’s Week at Sea, the first 50 will receive a special class bundle filled with lots of fun stamping goodies. 

All of this is in addition to all the great classes and fun giveaways you will be offered on board.

I am so excited and can’t wait.  I hope to see you all on board.  In fact, for those of you who do join us on the cruise, we may just have to blog about it and offer some fun prizes each month for folks joining my blog chat, just to make it more fun!

Keep an eye out for more blogging on the October 2007 Holiday Card Making cruise with Sandi Genovese, for the upcoming Alaskan get-a-way with the awesome Tim Holtz (May2008) and with a fabulous time we will be having with the very talented artist Donna Downey in Hawaii (November 2008)….

Chat soon….Nicole
