New Occasions Mini is Out

I wanted to send out a quick message today to let you know that the NEW OCCASIONS MINI is out.  Make sure that you have plenty of time to look through this one and keep pen and paper close.  There are SO many different styles and themes that there is something for everyone.

As always, if you do not have a copy of this catalog and would like to be added to my mailing list, email me and I will get you set up.  (Don't forget that you will be needing a Sale-a-bration catalog soon.)

Off to have fun with my hostess club!

For You While You Wait

I was working, working and working on projects last night.  I just could not stop.  But guess what I did not get done?.......

I did not get any good pictures of the finished ornaments!  I decided that I would what until this morning to get some good light and I will get them posted shortly.  Until then.....

I have a special that I would love to offer all of those shopping today!

Catalogs are Here - Want One?

My beloved 2009-2010 SU! catalogs are here.  I have already been through mine several times and created several revisions to my Wishlist.  By revisions, I mean additions - HA! HA!  Thank goodness I have an entire year to buy everything I want.

I would love to pass the fun on and send you a catalog.  These great idea books retail for $10, but I would be happy to send you one for FREE. Email me with your address, phone number and the most convenient time for me to contact you. (Make sure that your Pop-up blocker is OFF when you try to email me.)

Want to know what some of my 'Must-Haves' from this catalog are?

Number 1 on my list is the ALL of the polka-dot Grosgrain ribbon!  I love polka-dots and now I can buy it in all of the '09 In-Colors as well as in Real Red!

Number 2 on my list is the Wood Sheets!  I love my Big Shot and I can already imagine the possibilities.

Number 3 is the Princess Party Kit.  I have a 7-year old princess of my own that will be the Belle of her own ball.

Finally, I LOVE the Stampin' Up! Fancy Favor Bigz Die.  Oh the favors I will be creating for my hostesses this year. 

Find any of these irresistible?  Call me (859-539-8010) or email me to place your order. 

Can't wait for your copy of the catalog to arrive?  Peruse the pdf version of the catalog while you wait.

Keep watching for more information about my upcoming New Catalog Open House where you will be able to play with my favorite new products.

National Scrapbooking Month

New month - new specials!  Actually it is so much more than that!  It is National Scrapbooking Month and what do scrappers cherish?  PAPER!!  So Stampin' Up! is going to enable you with a great special.  Buy three packages of Designer Paper or Textured Cardstock and get one FREE!!!! 

Check out all THREE specials HERE and be ready to scrap all month long.

Speaking of paper - I love to make gift boxes and decorate them with gorgeous Designer Series Paper.  This gift box was inspired by the original Paula Goff and my FAVORITE stampset, Fifth Avenue Floral. (Actually I am in love with the ENTIRE Manhattan collection on page 9 of the Spring-Summer 2009 Stampin' Up! catalog.)

To create this box, you can follow the tutorial that Paula has provided here.  I gave my version a little Manhattan flare.  The background paper for my box HAD to be Urban Oasis Designer Series Paper.  I created the black tag with my Tag Corner and Horizontal Slot punches.  The flower image is embossed with clear embossing powder for a very dramatic effect.  The die cut butterfly was created using my Big Shot and SU! Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die.

So think boxes, cards, and scrapbook pages and STOCK up on all of that paper NOW!
