SALE-A-BRATION IS HERE!

It's the most anticipated sale of the year! Sale-A-Bration is one of my favorite promotions because it allows you to earn FREE products! For every $50 spent on Stampin' Up! product (from any current catalog) you may select one FREE item from the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

The Sale-A-Bration brochure this year has a new look and is filled with some great FREE products. As always, you can also earn FREE products from the current 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog.

If you plan a workshop during Sale-A-Bration, it's even better! When you host a $150 or more workshop, you will receive a lovely tote bag in addition to all your other hostess benefits.

And if your workshop reaches $400, then you will receive a FREE hostess bundle in addition to all the other hostess benefits and the FREE Sale-A-Bration items.

Joining Stampin' Up! during Sale-A-Bration is always wonderful! You can now join for as little as $125 and receive your choice of a FREE pack of Designer Series Paper OR FREE digital download each month for the rest of the year. What can be better than that?

Email me if you are interested in having a workshop during Sale-A-Bration or if you would like more information about what it means to be a Stampin' up! demonstrator.

Thank you for stopping by!

HALLOWEEN FUN

Halloween is just around the corner! Have fun!

SHADOWBOX AND MATCHING CARD

I've entered my first Challenge ... PPA116 at Pals Paper Arts! And I've created my first shadowbox. I've loved the Established Elegance Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! the moment I saw it in the new catalog, so I had to use it for my shadowbox. Then I created the card using our new Simply Scored (hint, I used the debossed side so the lines would be more prominent on the card).

NEW HOLIDAY MINI

Check out the new Holiday Mini Catalog - effective today!!! Stampin' Up! has introduced Simply Scored - a scoring tool for cards, designs, and 3-D projects. It includes a stylus and three place markers; plus the base has non-skid feet.
