Hi All!
 
Just wanted to give you all a heads up about this great fair next week.
 
There will be a metal clay vendor there.  The rep will be holding 2 special classes at Stamping to See You after the fair.
 
Sunday 12-4 will be a Copper Metal Clay class and Monday 12-4 will be a Silver Metal Clay Class.  I know many of you are interested in learning more about these mediums.  Also, Bonnie Warner is a certified dealer for the Viva Decor products and will have many of the Viva Decor products that many of us love to enhance our creations.
 
I am sure you will find many things there that will temp you from other vendors also.

(ts)= trunk show.  A trunk show is when a manufacturer is not able to attend a show personally, but sends a booth with their product to be promoted, displayed, demonstrated, offer a make-n-take and sold to the public.  This gives the manufacturer an idea of how strong their products are in demand as well as offering products that would not otherwise be represented at the show. 

Hands On Make-n-Take Tables *NEW for 2013*
Many of the Exhibitors will be hosting hands-on make-n-take tables at the show.  It is up to each exhibitor as to charge a fee to cover material and labor costs...the average fee per make-n-take at the STSY events is usually $1.  An attached fee allows the make-n-takes to be a bit more sophisticated allowing the use of more embellishments and quality products.  Additionally this event will be including several "fund raisers" tables who are volunteering their time and products to support a local organization.  We don't know all that will be going on at each booth, but here is a sampling of what we do know:

*FlowerSoft
*Copic Pen Techniques
*Tombo Techniques
*Northwoods Floral Designs
*Elizbeth Craft Outline Sticker Techniques
*Cheery Lynn Die Cuts
*Memory Box Die Cuts
*Geo Die Designs
*Loralie Stamps
*Wobbles
*Glitter
*Art Impressions Watercolors
*Chalk Techniques
*Iris Folding
*Die Version Dies
*Inka Gold
*Embossing Powder Techniques
*Sprays, Glazes & Stains

Map & Directions

Stampers and Scrap Bookers....
We would like to welcome you to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds -- our new permanent home here in the North Colorado market. We have been waiting for several years for an October date to open up here at the fairgrounds and we are very excited to introduce you to our new facility which includes free parking, easy access, a good neighborhood, reputation and clean facilities!

We know that the economy is ominous, so we have made some changes that will allow a value for your buck and multiple levels of participation at reasonable rates. We hope you will support this locally owned landmark event. We have taken much time to make this event entertaining, educational and affordable for everyone who is in this fascinating industry. Take advantage of the many sales, classes and workshops, reasonably priced fees, stamp camp and crop. Stamping to See You is committed to teaching, educating and demonstrating the stamp, scrap and papercraft industry to all who have the amount of energy as I do about it! If this is your first convention, you are in for an overwhelming experience. If you have been to similar events, I hope you place the same level of value we do in teaching, demonstrating and educating. If you have participated in the Rocky Mountain Rubber Hi in past years, I hope you are pleased with the efforts to grow, change and continue to make this show a fun and educational weekend.
