There is sooooooo much news at Stampin' Up! this morning – I can't stand it!  Plus, I'm trying to finish up my presentation for the Demonstrator meeting in Illinois – so, I'm trying to rush and take it all in!    I fly out early this afternoon – so I'd better get busy!

First, let's take a look at the April special – it's a sneaky little peak at the new Catalog – but one you HAVE TO HAVE!!!!   I'm not really kidding either!   For a small $20 purchase, you are eligible to add the Four Frames stamp set and the brand new Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper.  If you are a hostess with a $350 show (just an average show) – you'll get both of these for FREE!!  

Check it out!   This gorgeous stamp set fits in the Decorative Label punch.  You've seen me use this punch oodles of times because it is such a great size for a greeting, focal point or just a simple addition to a card.  If you look at the card sample above (my downline made this at our last meeting), you'll see that it is a nice accent – and carries the sentiment so well. 

The sample card also uses the Paisley Petals DSP – I like the colors in it.  The flower is made from the Fun Flowers die (Occasions Mini Catalog) with a gorgeous brad from the antique brads in the middle!   Yummy!   Check out these close-ups of the card.

Where do Stamps go when they retire? 

 The same places we do!  Dozens of stamps from the Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog are dusting off their golf clubs in anticipation of their retirement.   Now’s your last chance to get them – they are only available through January 18, 2009@
