Convention Time

Well, this is the most spectacular time of the year for Stampin' UP!.  Convention in Salt Lake City is the like a huge party instead of work.  Sadly, this year I could not attend.  Luckily, Stampin' UP! had Live Streaming of some of the days for all of our demonstrators around the world.  It was a unique way to be included and to be there for the unveiling of our Holiday Catalog.  This was only for Demonstrators but soon you will be able to see some of the items and the cover during our Preview month.  The month before the live event we get a special chance to preorder new products.  Check back soon to see some samples posted.

New Blendabilities Markers

New products are coming.  We will have our own personal set of markers similar to Copic markers.  They are called Blendabilities Markers.  They are alcohol based so the company is also adding back Momento Basic Black to work with the new markers.  Our other ink pads will not work with these so make sure you have the right tools for the job.The preorder and release date has been pushed back a couple of times but they are now ready for us to order and practice with.  I am excited to see how these work.  They are supposed to be cheaper then their counter parts but they are not refillable.  Once you use it up, toss it out.  The company said this is also why the prices are less as well.  I would like to get my hands on it and try to use it on a card coloring to see how easily they blend.  More to follow .....I have ordered 2 new sets of the Blendabilities Markers and will post pictures as soon as I can play a little with them.

New Catalog Premier

Monday, I traveled to a new event from Stampin' UP!.  A Live broadcast shown all demonstrators in attendance in various locations around the country and even some sections of Canada the new 2014-2015 Catalog.  There were around 7,600 or so in attendance.  We were teased with a first look at the cover on the live screen and slowly throughout the evening as we watched we were shown new products and the new layout of the catalog. Prizes were handed out and we even received a new stamp set to take home that evening! I have posted a picture online at my Stampersrus2001 Facebook page of the catalog cover as that is all I can share right now.  I also have posted pictures of my samples on the business Facebook page.  Check it out.  I will link the pages later.  My Facebook business page is linked to my demonstrator business page.  I am stilling learning linking and I will try not to post something twice .  Keep checking back as I am preparing for the new catalog.  I placed a preorder today of the New In-Colors and some of the new products we have offered.  The old catalog is going out with a bang and is selling out quickly of all stamps and accessories that have retired.  It retires on June5th but the new catalog launches on June1st.  Stay tuned for more....

New Products- The Project Life

Our company has announced that starting May 1st, 2014 that we will have some exclusive Project Life items made for Stampin' UP!.  It will coordinate with our products and will be exclusive to our company.  Yeah!  It makes scrapbooking so easy to throw together.  Items and pictures are slid into pockets.  Easy Peasy!  I cannot wait to get them and hold them in my hand so I can create my first Project Life Project.  I had never heard of the company before.  (I lead a very sheltered life.)  I did some research online and I was amazed by the company.  It goes along with pocket pages that we had a couple of years ago.  I loved making up the sample at convention that used these pocket pages.  I cannot wait...but I have to for now. :)
Happy stamping!

Candy Card Swap

I have been stamping and am posting here one of the samples that I personally created.  I hope you enjoy it.  For those who do not know, Card Candy is like the high end items people buy at scrapbook stores and craft stores.  But instead of being processed and made in bulk by machines, my card candy is handmade and unique.  You, too, can create unique items like this to use in your scrapbook pages and home decor.  It gives one a sense of accomplishment when you get compliments on something that you made yourself.  You also have the knowledge that no one else has want you made.  It is unique and personal just like all of you.  I hope you enjoy the picture.  It is the first of many and I will be updating my blog and website more often now.   Please remember that my pictures are copyright protected and you cannot copy and post anywhere else without my express permission. 

I am Back again!!!

I have been busy and neglecting this blog but no more.  I am going to try to link all of my accounts so I can type once and post everywhere for my customers and friends to find out the news in my life.  The craft room is coming along.  We were in the discussion session of moving it to the downstairs area in the formal dining room.  I am not so sure.  I tend to be a bit messy when I create.  And with our open floor plan I would have to keep it nearly spotless all the time.  Who wants to create in a perfectly clean room.  I am thinking the room size is a big issue.  I will keep you updated.  Check back in for more......
