Oh What a Night! Shelli Gardner, her daughter Sara and I along with 140 other demos!

Oh What a Night!!

Last night I was fortunate enough to attend a one of a kind Stampin'  Up! event with none other than Shelli Gardner , co-founder and CEO of Stampin' Up! and her daughter Sara!  Kim Assaly, a fellow demonstrator was one of the winners of Shelli's Workshop of a Lifetime and through her kindness offered to extend the opportunity into the evening for a Demonstrator event!

When the Stampin' Up! Regional Seminars in Syracuse, New York were cancelled due to the snow storm I was quite disappointed, but knowing that two weeks later Shelli was coming within a 2 hour drive made it so much better!

Kim, her family, downline and helpers put on a fantastic evening in Hawkesbury Ontario!  In attendance were over 140 Demonstrators - some in my downline (Hi Girls!) and most in my sister sidelines and of course my upline. It was so great to all be in one room together to catch up on the last days, weeks, months or years - depending on how long it has been since we've seen each other.

Stampin' Up! relationships... I love the friendships this business has offered me.  Thank you Shelli !!

Here is a pic of Michelle and I - one of my bffs and of course one of my very talented downline members!  I have spoken of her several times before and showcased and cased some of her amazing creations!

Here is a pic of Josee (my upline) and Marlayne (my sister sideline).

and another of just Josee and I

Bet you're wondering where all the samples are.... okay, okay...here are a few... will post more in the days to come!

This cute Easter treat box filled with Mini Eggs was made using the Milk Carton die for the Big Shot!

Kim also offered four outstanding door prizes - A Big Shot, a Circle Scissors Plus and Cutting Mat, a Stampin' Caddy and a pack of ALL the clear blocks!!  I didn't win..but that's okay, It was super exciting !!!

After some inspirational training from Shelli, she opened the floor to a wonderful Question and Answer Time.    Everytime I see and speak to Shelli in person, I feel so blessed. She is such a kind and genuine person. Her daughter is just beautiful and has her amazing smile  =)

Stay tuned over the next week for some more pics...there were some wonderful cards on display !

There is only 2.5 weeks left to enjoy all the perks and FREE stamp sets, punches and paper that Sale-a-bration 2010 offers.  Don't miss out!!  Contact me to book your workshop or place your order today.

Heart Treat Cups? You ask? New Sweetheart Stamp Set!!  Yes - they are featured here: 

Sweet Treat Heart Cups - 12 cups for just $3.95

I made a pull tab so that you can get to the candy without tearing the card apart,

The card that keeps on giving.   I sure hope they like them!

Here's how it looks on the inside when you pull the tab up...

New Punch Design coming with Sale-a-bration 2010 and Occasions Mini 2010 !!

Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches!

A few features of the new punch style:

• Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
• Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
• Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
• Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large
• New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.
• Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog
• Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners
• larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use
• Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color

Part of Stampin' Up!'s commitment to providing YOU with the very best crafting tools includes the belief in what we call continuous improvement. Essentially what this means is that even if something works very well, but they see a chance to improve it, they will work to make it even better. While new punch designs will be in the new body style, existing designs will remain in the existing body style for now. Available January 5, 2010!

Stampin' Up!'s Clear Mount Stamps - available January 5th, 2010

Over the past few years, Stampin' Up! has heard the enormous demand from demonstrators and customers alike for a line of repositionable clear-mount stamps. Well, you asked for it, and now you have it! 

Starting with stamps in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalogue and 2010 Sale-A-Bration brochure, Stampin′ Up! now offers our exclusive stamp art in both traditional wood-mount, and the new clear-mount options.  Both brochures begin January 5th, 2010 !!!! Only a few short weeks away!!!

Stampin' Up's new clear-mount stamps are the result of extensive research with the intent to maintain the very best image quality in the stamping industry, while at the same time offering the ease-of-use and storability inherent in repositionable clear-mount stamps.

Clear-Mount Features

• Nine different sizes of clear blocks available individually or as a discounted bundle.
• Blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and traditional wood-mount feel.
• Stamps and blocks are durable and easy to clean with your Stampin’ Scrub and Stampin’ Mist.
• Optional image labels on stamp backs let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not.
• Tight die-cutting for easy image positioning.
• Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets.
• Stamps store easily in standard, DVD-type cases with artwork on front and spine, making organization easy.

Would you like to receive your personal copies of the Occasions Mini catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration brochure?  Send me an email and I'll be happy to mail one out to you in the New Year.  (sorry Canadian customers only).
