March!!

Wow, it's March already! The good news is SPRING will be here SOON!!! Hopefully I don't make it snow by saying that-LOL! We have nice, warm numbers in the forecast so I think it will be OK! I am VERY ready for things to start "greening" up around here!

Stampin' Up! is giving customers a sneak peak at some spring sets in the upcoming Occasions Mini catalog. We demos get to order our goodies this month, but the general sales period starts next month. Except for a few sets! Click HERE to view the sets available NOW and get a jump on cards and goodies for Easter!! The link should take you to 3 pages of the Occasions Mini catalog, and the sets and wheel on those pages are all available to customers NOW! You can order Online HERE-just click the SHOP NOW button!

Remember, too that it's still Sale-A-Bration and you can get a FREE item from the SAB Mini with EACH $50 purchase!!

Oh, and you get a FREE CATALOG if you place your order online as well! Stampin' Up! knows how to treat customers right don't they!!!

I will share some samples with the Easter sets as soon as my order arrives, I'm guessing next week. I didn't get the bunny set, but did get the other 2. I had to draw the line somewhere! I still overdid it, but there are some GREAT new things in this mini!! I have the minis on order as well, so contact me if you NEED one!

Thanks for stopping by! Not sure if I'll be back with anything stamped tonight, I may just go crash! I had a busy day, a band concert tonight, and have to work tomorrow!

New Catalog!!

I'm trying to catch up on posting today, so bear with me-I may bombard you!! I should have started with this post instead of the SAB one, but OH well! The new catalog has arrived and is full of wonderful new stuff!! Click the picture above to download the pdf version, but be prepared-it takes a while! But, once you have it, save it and you're good to go!

I have my catalogs in stock as well! If you're a local customer, contact me and we'll make arrangements to meet up. If you're out of the area, but would like a catalog, click the Buy Now button below. The catalog is on me, but I'm asking that you pay postage of $5. Thanks!

Stay tuned for samples using new catalog items! My first order has arrived, I just need to make time to play!

We also have a new Spanish version of the Catalog, Celebrando Creatividad. Click below to view the pdf version.

And lastly, a new Decor elements brochure! There are some fun new items in this one! Click to view! If you're getting your catty from me it will include the Decor elements brochure. They are a fun element to add to your home decor. I have several awaiting application here!

Sale-A-Bration!!!

Is just around the corner! SAB runs February 1 through March 31. Click the picture above to download the brochure. Those of you who are current customers should be receiving yours VERY SOON in your mail box! This years SAB products include 4 stamp sets, a ribbon bundle & a pack of Designer Series Paper! Of course they all coordinate wonderfully!!

As usual, during SAB, customers have the choice of a free item from the brochure for every $50 they spend on catalog merchandise. Hostesses get to choose a free item with each $300 in workshop sales. And new demonstrators who sign up during SAB get to choose ANY set FREE (value up to $47.95) from the Spring/Summer Idea Book and Catalog. Yes, I said ANY set FREE when you sign up. What are you waiting for??? Well, other than February 1st! The starter kit is an excellent value everyday at the price of $199, but this makes it an especially good deal! And all your future purchases are at a discount! Contact me if you need more information! We can have you signed up in a matter of minutes through my demo site.

Here is a sample I created for a recent swap, using the Congrats & Polka Dot Punches SAB sets, the Ribbon Bundle, & the Delicate Dots DSP. The card base is So Saffron. I stamped the 'congratulations' in Certainly Celery at the bottom of the Saffron. I stamped the smaller flower from the Polka Dot set on the background in Saffron. I layered the stripe piece of DSP on Whisper White and attached the Saffron ribbon . The punched images were stamped on textured CS, Certainly Celery on Certainly Celery & Bashful Blue on Bashful Blue. Brads were added to the center and images attached with a dimensional.

Retiring Accessories!

Above you will find a spreadsheet of the retiring accessories! If it's listed in RED, sorry, it's already sold out! I will update as often as possible. Even though it says at the top, updated every 5 minutes, that is not the case! That must be a Google default that I don't know how to change!

The wheels have been added at the bottom of the list, under the write me memory cd.

If there is something on this list you NEED, CONTACT ME ASAP!!! Quantities are limited!

Edited to add: The items on the above list with an * next to them, are discounted on the Inventory Blowout special. See previous post here.

Stampin' Up! just released the retiring accessories list from the current catalog. AND they just released a special Inventory blowout SALE! There are some REALLY great deals here! Click the picture above to download the flyer. Click here to see a flyer showing the items not in the current catalog. Then contact me right away with your order, or head over to my demo site and place it there!

The Country Living set is now only $24.98! What a jump on new ornaments for next year that would give you! I will get a picture posted in a bit to show you the possibilities! Gotta run and get the boys from school! Oh, and I'll see what I can do about getting the retiring accessories posted here too. It really isn't too bad!

Retirement List & a SPECIAL from ME!

This is very late in getting to you, but I've been wrapped up in Holiday prep all month! I really can't believe it's Dec 26 already! The month has truly FLOWN!

Anyway, this catalog is on it's way out as the next Idea Book & Catalog will be released January 19! While that's always exciting, it's always sad to see our "old friends" go! I don't think I've taken a very big hit with this one, but I haven't yet pulled my sets off the shelf either!

Click HERE to see the list by Page Number

or

Click HERE to see the Alphabetical list

And, the good news for you. Since I missed alerting you all to a Free Shipping special while I was bogged down with HOLIDAY prep, I will offer my own. I will pay your shipping on ANY order of $65 or more that includes at least one retired set, good through December 31. Contact me directly to get the free shipping special. Online orders are always welcome through my demo site, but the free shipping will not apply that way!

Retiring sets are available through January 18. Happy weekend all!

Online Ordering NOW LIVE!!!

Stampin' Up! has been working very hard!!! Today they released the Online Ordering feature through demonstrator websites. Click here to go to my site, then click the Shop Now button at the top. I obviously can't test it out all the way through, but it looks pretty cool!!! I added a link in the sidebar too with the 24/7 Ordering icon. I'm excited-It just keeps getting better to be a Stampin' Up! demo!!!

Off here, and back to work! I NEED to do some stamping this evening!

New Catalog-More Info

Hey all, I just wanted to share that I was able to download the catty in less than 3 minutes! Yes, I have a fairly fast connection (wireless) but I was very impressed by that! It tells me the traffic is slowed! I also did the right click and saved it to my desktop. Now I can look at it anywhere, anytime I have my computer!

Also, this pdf format for the catty is a temporary solution while they work on bringing online ordering to our Demonstrator Business Websites-YEAH!!! How cool will it be for you all to click my demo site anywhere, anytime and place an order!!! Coming sometime this fall!!

New Catalog!!

Sorry for the late post, but there's always so much frenzy with the start of a catalog, I figured I'd wait just a bit to try posting links-so maybe they'll actually work! Maybe!

Apparently SU! has posted the catalog in a pdf format this time, instead of the live link like before. Therefore it takes VERY long to download. So, if you have a paper copy-stick with that! If not, try this link CATALOG HERE, but be prepared to wait! HINT: Right-click the link to save it to your computer to view anytime. It is a large file!! My suggestion-Call your favorite demonstrator and get the actual copy in your hands!!!!

OK, in addition to the new catalog, like it could really get better??? Well, it does. We have several of the NEW sets on Special-15% off!! Click HERE to see Never-Before-Seen Sets at Never-Before-Seen Savings!!! There is a flyer on the right side if you'd like to click that for easy printing.

And, if you've ever considered becoming a demonstrator, we have several kits for you to choose from now!

The basic starter kit is priced at $199 (valued at over $350 in business & stamping supplies), and if your purchase NOW you get to choose ANY set FREE from the new catalog, in addition to the products in the kit!! Click here to view more information about the standard kit. You can sign up through my demo site in a matter of minutes!! Contact me for the password first, then click JOIN NOW and follow the steps!!

Also, SU! has added THREE $99 Starter Kit options. Yes I said Three options for $99! These include the same business supplies as the standard kit, but different product options. One is Stamp focused, one Scrapbook focused, and the other Home Decor focused. Click HERE for more info!

Contact me if you need more information on any of this! or if you NEED that new catalog!

Thanks for stopping by!

Last Chance!!

To order from the Spring-Summer Collection 2008. I realize I probably should have posted this a day or two ago-OOPS!! Contact me TODAY if you are in NEED of a set or accessory that is retiring. The catalog is linked above and I'll link you below to the

Retiring Stamps by page Number

and

Retiring Accessories

Let me know if you have any questions!! I'm planning to take the boys school shopping this afternoon, but I'll be home this evening if you need to reach me. I'm usually on the computer til around 10 pm central, so try to reach me before that!!!

The NEW catalog goes live at NOON Mountain time tomorrow (Monday)! I'll be back after work tomorrow to post a link to it, and the sale flyer. Several of the new, incoming sets are discounted through September!! And, have I mentioned that ALL the NEW sets in the catalog are DIE CUT!! And, next catalog (January) ALL the sets will be die cut! SU! just keeps making things better and better!!

Retiring Accessories

SU! Released the list of retiring accessories on Monday and some have sold out already! I'm not going to post the list here, in part because I don't have time to keep it updated, but email me if you haven't seen it. I can post a link to some items that are on special here. These items are retiring, but have been discounted! LMK if you NEED any of them!!

I'm off to finish some swap cards, and see if I can up with a few more! Convention is next week!!! I'll have the new catalog Wednesday!! YIKES!!!

Checking In

Hello all, wanted to check in. Nothing stamped to share, sorry! Hopefully this weekend. We made it to the end of baseball finally! That hasn't lightened the schedule though very much!

I wanted to remind you all the the retiring list for stamps is out. You can view it here by page number or here for alphabetical. And a very important note on retiring accessories. The official list comes out Monday, but some items will sell out very quickly. While I don't know everything that will be on the list, I do know EVERYTHING with the current In Colors WILL BE on the list. Unfortunately, 2 of the ribbons (Double Stitched Blue Bayou & Purely Pomegranate) are already gone! So, if any of those In Color items are on your, list CONTACT ME TODAY!!!! Remember too that many of our Designer Papers and Simply Scrappin Kits also have those colors in them. Also, remember the current Hodgepodge Hardware kits are retiring and they are currently 25% off!! One kit goes a long way, and $20.96 is a GREAT price!

That's all I can think of for now! I better go get ready for work (YUCK!!). I'd rather be stampin'!
