Your photos are one of your most priceless possessions and are the starting point of your family’s history. Most people say that if a fire happened in their house, they would first make sure all family members were safe, then their pets, and then their photos. Everything else can be replaced – your memories can’t.

Recently Donna brought in her gorgeous dog Breagh for a portrait sitting in our Studio. This was a gift for her husband for Valentine's Day. So cute so I thought I'd share a few of the images. You can bring your pets into the studio for a portrait of just them or with you or your family. Call us at 604-463-3654 to book.

We've got exciting news to share! If you've been lacking in the creative mojo, or wondering how you can get more life from the stamps you already own... or you just want to spend a day with a bunch of super-cool crafty people, then look no further!
My friend Lain Ehmann of True Scrap has pulled together six of the hottest stamping companies around to offer a full day of inspiration and fun, such as Technique Tuesday, Lawn Fawn, Simon Says Stamp, and three more. They'll be revealing all their best stamping tips, tricks, techniques, and secrets in the ground-breaking True Stamp event.
True Stamp is a one-day, online, LIVE event on March 9. Yep, that's right – all six instructors will come to YOU via the magic of the Internet in a state-of-the-art web room. You'll watch class demonstrations, chat with instructors and other students, and have the time of your stampy life – all without leaving home (or even changing out of your PJs!).
Register here
You'll learn from experts such as Shari Carroll, Kelly Marie Alvarez, Angela Magnuson, Bev Grey, Bobbi Lemanski, and Kim Hughes.
If you're tired of just staring at your stamping supplies or creating the “same old” projects, then check out True Stamp.
P.S. Did I mention that all class recordings are also provided as part of your enrollment? That way you can watch again and again! And trust me, you'll want to...
P.P.S. Lain has given me a special discount for you. Use code STAMPY at checkout to save $20 off the regular registration. But hurry – that code is good only until Feb. 20!

We know that the most versatile and downright fun paper crafting supply is our stamps. But even though we love them dearly, sometimes we look at them and think, “Okay, now what?” Despite the love, there are times when the inspiration just isn't there.
When it comes right down to it, nothing is better for revving up that mojo than learning from “the masters.” Watching real experts demonstrate unique techniques and projects is a sure-fire way to rev up the inspiration. But who has the time or money to travel all over the country to take classes?
Well, you don't have to! Let me introduce... True Stamp!
True Stamp is the only event to offer the best in LIVE stamping instruction, brought right to you via your computer. That's right, no need to pack up all your supplies. No need to leave the family. No need to eat lousy convention center food. Instead, the classes come right to YOU. Just log in from your computer and be treated to classes from six amazing sponsors, teaching you the latest and greatest skills and techniques to get your creative stampy juices flowing. And it's all recorded so you can watch again and again after the event!
If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get stamping, then check out True Stamp here:
Join six amazing instructors on March 9 for a full day of stampy fun!
