Who wants a new catalog?

Thanks to everyone who came to my Facebook Party celebrating my 5th Anniversary as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator!

Now on to year 6!  I am really excited to start a new year.  I've learned so much this past 5 years and hope to keep learning and growing. My goals are to continue to build my business and to help as many people as I can explore their creativity.  Spending time crafting is a need I love to fill.  It's relaxing and relieves so much stress.

April, like Spring, brings many new beginnings.  The Stampin' Up! community is getting ready to see the new 17-18 Annual Catalog!  As demonstrators, we get to see it if we attend On Stage this weekend.  If we don't attend, the PDF will be available for us on April 10.  One of the perks of being a demonstrator is seeing and ordering things first!  I'd love to visit with you about the many perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  If you'd like a complimentary catalog and you are not already working with another demonstrator, please contact me.  I will be ordering catalogs as soon as I can so reserve one for you!

With the arrival of a new catalog also comes the list of retiring products.  It's usually bittersweet.  Saying goodbye to some of your favorites and celebrating the products that are staying around for another year.  The list will be available on April 10th.  I will share it as soon as possible.  One thing we know that will be retiring is the collection of products from the 2015-2017 In Color Family.  This includes cardstock, ink pads, reinkers, markers, ribbons, and embellishments in these colors.  These usually go pretty fast so get them while you can!

Watermelon Wonder is the color I will miss the most.  Here's a card I used it on along with the SAB sets Avant Garden and So Very Much.  I have a few extra SAB items if you missed them, contact me.
