NEW YEAR, NEW RESOLUTIONS, NEW PRODUCTS!!

I'm b-a-a-a-ck! That is to say, getting back to posting on my blog is one of my resolutions for 2017! To kick it off I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year with the hope it will bring many wonderful blessings to all.
One of the best Stampin' Up! things about January is the release of the annual Occasions catalog full of brand spankin' new products! The trend with the past few Occasions and Holiday catalog supplements has been stamps with coordinating framelits/thinlits and there are TONS of new ones in this catalog! Use the link on the right column to open the PDF and see it all. 
Here are a few samples of what you will see (and believe me, there is SO MUCH MORE!):

 These pictures show just some of the new dies for cutting out gift/treat boxes, stamps and shapes for dads, moms, kids, friends and everyone you want to honor or celebrate in the next few months! Plus all kinds of new embellishments to add dimension or sparkle to your projects!

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

It's SALE-A-BRATION TIME!! This is Stampin' Up!'s most popular annual promotion that gives you the opportunity to earn FREE LIMITED EDITION PRODUCTS! You can see the PDF of the brochure by clicking the link at the top of the right column. These special products are not for sale - they are rewards for placing an order. It is really simple: for each $50 of product you order, you choose a free SAB item.

If you host during Sale-A-Bration and the total of all the orders is $250 or more, then you will get a bonus $25 of host dollars in addition to the standard Stampin' Rewards.

If you have been pondering joining Stampin' Up!, now is the perfect time because you can add two extra stamp sets of your choice to your kit - depending on the sets you select that is a potential value of up to $104! Please contact me if you'd like to know more about being a demonstrator on my team.

What? You want a little preview of what is in the Sale-A-Bration brochure before you open the PDF? Well, sure! Take a look:
