I hope everyone had an awesome Fourth of July.  Thanks to those who serve us in our military and their families that provide us with the opportunity to have an Independance Day!  I had an awesome weekend.  It started out Thursday and Friday fishing with my husband, Jim.  Yes, I fished my first fishing tournament. . . and no there was no beginners luck.  Shucks.  On Saturday, we traveled home stopping at several farmers markets and having a great time.  Jim bought me a fabulous basket from an Amish booth.  On Saturday night, we had a "date"!  Well, not exactly as you might think, we sat on our patio, had the candles lit, bonfire in the burner, popcorn, wine and the neighborhood fireworks right in front of us.  Totally awesome!

• Punches – of course I have to have the new punches – I already have one but, need the rest!

I’ll keep you posted on the rest of my must haves in future posts. 

There’s a reason why we call our biggest shape-cutting and embossing machine a Big Shot. It’s because the Big Shot works with the entire Sizzix library, including big and small dies and the most exciting techniques.

 If that wasn’t big enough, this ultimate roller machine cuts everything from cardstock to fabric and many things in between. Now that’s a big deal, even for a Big Shot.  AND it provides economy as it doesn’t require full sheets – look at your paper, fabric, felt and other scraps in a whole new way!

Many of you have loved this machine and the awesome value the Stampin’ Up! Starter kit offers.  While all the products will still be available, there will not be a starter kit in the next Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalog.  Get it now – and through me, you can get an extra 15% off the starter kit price!  The starter kit includes;

• Big Shot Die Cut machine
• multipurpose platform and standard cutting pads
• 2 Stampin’ Up! exclusive Bigz Dies (scallop Envelope and Top Note)
• Stampin’ Up! exclusive sizzlet 4 pack – Birds and Blooms
• Stampin’ Up! exclusive decorative strip die  – Billboard
• Decorative Strip Cutting pads and extended spacer platform

You’ll save $30!  Plus you will get hostess benefits and a free hostess stamp set!  Now that’s a GREAT VALUE!   Don’t forget that you are eligible to attend 4 free Big Shot Classes held each month. 

This offer is only available through me.  It cannot be placed through the online ordering system, however, it can be shipped directly to you.  Call or email me today to take advantage of this limited time offer!

Check out this cute new stamp set with coordinating heart punch!  Absolutely adorable.  To get your juices flowing, here are a few quick ideas of how you could put this bundle to use for Valentines:

• Little candy containers using the Sizzix Pillow Box die and Candy Lane Designer Series paper.
• Handmade Valentine’s Day boxes for school or home.
• Candy bouquets with stamped accents.
• Candy jar with a Designer Series paper belly band and stamped tag.
• Sweet words jar: Take a glass jar and decorate it with paper and stamps. Then put a bunch of slips of paper into the jar that say why you love the recipient. The recipient takes out one slip of paper each day.
• A decorated photo frame.
• A Valentine’s gift wrapped in Candy Lane Designer Series paper.
• Confetti made from punched out hearts; good for putting on tables or beds, or in a cello bag as filler.
• Place settings (napkin holder, name tents, etc.) for a special Valentine’s dinner.
• A "50 Reasons I Love You" book.
