Stampin' and Scrappin' with Chris

News from Stampin' Up!!

Stampin' Up!'s Leadership conference is this past weekend and there were some very exciting changes announced!

The first is the new Semiannual Catalog Program!  Double the fun!

Beginning July 2007, SU will begin "The Collections" catalogs.  Instead of one Idea Book & Catalog for a whole year, we'll have twoa year!  The first catalog, Fall/Winter 2007 Collection will run July - December.  The second catalog, Spring/Summer 2008 Collection will run January - June.  Instead of 4 mini catalogs, there will be 2 - a Holiday Mini & an Occasions Mini.  Sell-A-Bration will still be offered, just at different times!    Also, you will have access to the Collection Preview brochure, which will be available a month before each of the 2 semiannual catalogs.  It will offer you a sneek peak of selected stamp sets & accessories from the upcoming catalog!  This way, Stampin' Up! will be able to offer new items more often!

Another announcement is the Mini Starter Kit!  Start up your business for just $99! 

Have you been on the fence about signing up as a demonstrator?  Well this is a great opportunity!  From January 15 - February 28 - you can sign up as a demonstrator and get your mini starter kit for just $99!  Click on the link to my Stampin' Up! website for more information!

Saving the best for last - the Spring Mini Catalog! 

Just WAIT till you see this one!!  This mini will run from March - June 07.  There are so many great new products!  New punches, great stamp sets and just gotta love the designer papers!  Demonstrators received the Polka Dot & Paisley set from the spring mini as a gift from Shelli this year!  I'll have a few samples posted on my SU gallery soon!

I just love the way that Stampin' Up! keeps things fresh & new!  They are truely committed to bringing us the best product possible, and staying on trend.  I am sure that there is more great changes and suprises coming, so I'll let you know as they happen!!

Year in a Day Class!!

Wow - I just got home from Tina's after the first Demo Class - and all I can say is thast it was a totally awesome class!!

For those of you who have attended these classes before, you know that it is really a whole day event, and they rarely went off without a hitch.  I actually stopped participating for a few years.

But thanks to the dedication and very hard work of my upline Tina, and my SU! sister Jen, this class was an absolute pleasure to participate in, prepare for, and teach!!  They have it down to a science!!

Don't get me wrong - it still takes a whole day - and I'm beat!  But it was fun, relaxing, the pages were easy for the girls to complete, and it was stress free!!

So check out the pictures I have posted, and sign up early!!  This class is going to fill up fast - and you won't want to miss it.
