Lovely Hearts & Flowers

Hi everybody and welcome to my new Stampin’ Up! Blog! I’m so excited that I can now share my Stampin’ Up! only projects with you here and everything Stampin’ Up! is on this blog as far as catalogs and everything you need to book your workshop, attend a class, request a catalog, and keep up in general on my events and other pertinent information.

I am so thrilled to be a part of Stampin’ Up! again. I had rejoined because I got burnt out on the card publishing arena. It all hit me like a ton of bricks when a call for a magazine came out on the first day the kids were home for Christmas break and it ended the day they went back to school. I would have taken about 1/3 of their break making projects for the magazine getting 2-3 accepted, maybe, and that time would have been wasted if none of them were accepted. I thought to myself that I need to start making life a lot more simple and get back to my roots. In 2 hours, I can hold a $500 workshop and make 10x the amount of money, have friends over,  socialize, and have fun, so it was a very easy decision for me. In the less than one month I’ve been back with Stampin’ Up!, I’ve already been promoted to a Senior Associate. The first time around with Stampin’ Up!, I had been with them for a year and was a Senior Supervisor with downlines that had signed up with me all over the United States. Don’t think that because you won’t be able to attend my monthly downline meetings that I can’t be a wonderful mentor to you. When my downline attend my meetings, my out of area downline always get a package of our meeting minutes, a PDF of swaps and projects, recognition and so much more. I spoil my hostesses and downline! I’d love to have you on my team.

Here’s a card that I’d like to share with you using products from the new Occasions Mini Catalog that’s good through April 30, 2012. This catalog is especially exciting in that new die-cuts are introduced made exclusively for Stampin’ Up! and our products! The new products introduced in this Occasions Mini are fabulous and you’ll love them. The possibilities are endless as to what you can create and I know I’ve had a great time playing with them myself. Sale-A-Bration is just around the corner too starting on January 24 and since I’m a demonstrator, I’ve had these products for over a month now creating away! One of the hostess items with a $150 order is this gorgeous tote bag that I must have myself and you can have one too with a $150 order and that will also earn you 3 free products from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog! For every $50 you spend, you earn 1 free product. It doesn’t get any easier or better than that. Join my team today or book your workshop today for an opportunity to receive the beautiful gifts that I give to my hostesses and downline. I am also in the process of working on a monthly kit for you. I will also be making videos that show you new, cutting edge, and innovative ways to use Stampin’ Up! products.

I used to think that I was so limited and missing out by being with Stampin’ Up! with all of the other products out there that I’ve spent thousands on to have. I am going to save so much money now! You can use Stampin’ Up! products to do any technique and achieve the look that you’re after and that’s what I’m going to show you how to do in my videos and kits. These will not be your normal kits or videos. We’re getting out of the box ladies and I’m so excited to be able to present these to you.

Now, onto my card. I used product from the Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration (sneak peek). Stay with me and you’ll be looking at Stampin’ Up! in an entirely different light. I hope you’ll join the journey with me. Something special that I did to my card was to hand doodle the dots by the sentiment to take it all the way across the card.

Today’s card is for a sketch challenge by Create with Connie and Mary (CCMC184), who are fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators, and I proudly serve with Mary Brown on the Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge Blog that I started a couple of years ago. Thank you so much for visiting me today and starting this new chapter with me in my life. God bless  you!
