Big Changes Coming and Some Cards

Wowzers! We were just advised that Stampin' Up! is making changes to their catalogs! But don't fret, they are good changes!

The big Idea Book and Catalog will now be released on June 1 instead of July 1 and there will be two mini catalogs each year instead of three, an Occasions one and a Spring one. The IBC will be fewer pages BUT, the minis will be bigger in size and contain more stuff! Most of the occasions stuff from the IBC will be moved to the minis such as the Christmas and Halloween stamp sets and the Easter and Valentine's stamp sets. 

Stampin' Up! has also decided to discontinue the Decor Elements and Jewelery lines. So if there is anything you were thinking of getting, get them now!

I'm so excited because that means we are getting a new catalog in FOUR months! Yippee!

So let's get on to some stamping projects shall we? I held a 'Stamp Out the Winter Blues' class on Tuesday. I had four cards made and stampers were able to choose which cards they wanted to make and how many of each card and then just worked at their own pace. They always tell me they love this format so I try to have it once a quarter.




I seriously need a new camera!

Until next time, happy stamping!

Advent Swap 2011 - Day 1

Well, have I been mia or what! LOL! I finally have some time to sit and create some blog posts. 

Last month, my upline, sideline and their downlines participated in an advent swap. There were 17 of us rather than 24, so we started our swaps on December 9.

This is the first swap

I see I need a new camera! lol The package...
I don't remember who all had what day so forgive me for not saying who made this one. This is hand sanitizer made to look like Santa.

Until next time, happy stamping!
