Soooooo much new stuff….

Okay, so happy September 1st.  It's such an exciting time.  We have so much new stuff going on right now.  Yipppppeeee yahoooooo I'm soooooo excited, I don't know where to start. 

Here is the new Holiday Mini.  Everyone should have received their copy, if not, contact me and I'll get one right out to you. Oh my gosh, it has SINGING and RECORDABLE cards in there!!!

And here is the September Stampin' Up! special…

Like I said, there is so much good stuff going on right now!  The Clearance rack has all kinds of new stuff in there including discounted cardstock.  HURRY if you want any of it, it's "while supplies last".  Make sure you go and check it out.  You must order these online, you cannot order them with me or in a class or club…they must be ordered online.  Told you so….lots going on.  I'll report on more tomorrow.

Oh my goodness,What is better than having your UPS man drive in the driveway with a STAMPIN' UP! delivery???  This is!!!!

It's a Stampin' Box and a STAMPIN' UP! UPS SPECIAL DELIVERY ENVELOPE!  So you are asking what's inside of it?

This is!!!!  It's all my travel documents for my upcoming Founders Circle Trip.  Isn't it cute.

Here is the inside view.  Do you recognize the stamp pattern on the inside material?  What stamp set does it resemble?…..If you have received your NEW Holiday Mini Catalog, you can find the stamp set on page 12.  It's called Day of Gratitude.  Make sure you read to the end so you can see a card that I'm featuring today with that stamp set.

and look, it matches the bag I received at Convention for earning the Founder's Circle Trip.  Everything we get on the trip will match these two pieces.  So keep checking back for updates.

Here is a card made by Robin Warren.  She was in the Demonstrator Swap I participated in.  Remember the Christmas Card I showed you the other day?  The swap theme was the New Holiday Mini Catalog.  This is the set that Robin used.  Isn't it beautiful.  Now I have a card that matches my bag!  :0)  Oh my….it's the little things that just tickle me!  :0)

Last night I did another workshop for two very good friends.  It was a special workshop in a couple of ways.  Lauren and Jackie held the workshop.  Lauren has been with me for 11 years, since I began my Stampin' Up business on 9/9/99.  But what made it even more special is that one of her guests was the hostess from my very first workshop, hi Janelle (Janelle has held many workshops for me also).  So this workshop was filled with some good memories.  ANNNNNND on top of all that, what made it doubly special was the two girls decided to have a themed party.  They decided to do a Chicks and Chocolate get together with their friends…so this is how it played out…

So here is Janelle and the chocolate fondue made by Jackie, look at all that cut up fruit (better than the Melting Pot).  Lauren made chocolate brownies with all kinds of super stuff on them (whipped peanut butter, butter, confectionery sugar and milk  - she WHIPPED it all together then drizzled the top with chocolate).  She also made something chocolatey salty, she called them Chocolate Toffee Brittle (saltines, butter, brown sugar, walnuts and lots of chocolate)…oh my gosh….they were heavenly!  But what is a chick and chocolate party with out something to wash it down!  So….the girls had fun trying to find as much drinkable chocolate stuff as possible.  Here we go….

Lauren and her husband Glen went to the Finger Lakes last week and went to a lot of the wineries out there.  Guess what she found?  CHOCOLATE WINE!  The gals that drank it said it tasted like YooHoo.  Remember that stuff?  Do they still sell YooHoo?

And then they found MudSlides that were chocolate.  And look what's next to it?!  Can you guess what's on the left?

She made chocolate ice cubes with….

the chocolate milk she bought for ME!!!!  :0)  How cute is that?

We had so much fun at her party.  After eating and sipping, we sat down and made three projects.  We made a Wipe Off board with a tile and our decor elements (they LOVVVVVED this project).  Then they made two cards.  It was a very successful workshop and everyone had fun chatting and eating and just being girls!  Let me know if you'd like to have your own themed party.  Book early for Sale-A-Bration (which means BOOK NOW)!

busy busy but fun fun

Okay so it's been a busy summer and a super busy week.  So no posts.  Sorry, but I hope everyone missed me!

I don't even have to go back to school this year but I'm still looking forward to the first day of school!  :0)  Isn't that fun?!  I'm excited because I DON'T have to go!!!!  The grocery store and the streets will be MINE again!!!  Sorry but that's the way it is!!!  :0)  I've already made plans to go out to lunch to celebrate on the first day of school. 

Don't have a job?  Want one?  Have a job but don't like it?  I can help.  There is a VERY nice "sweet" special going on for anyone that signs up to be a demo in the month of September.  I'm so excited to announce that the bag that I got at convention is yours for FREE if you sign up to be a demonstrator in the month of September.  This is what it looks like.  It's awesome.  Big enough to hold all your stamping and scrapbooking supplies but light enough to tote around on your shoulder and not look like a Quasimodo dragging around to one side :0).  Yes, I said it was big enough to carry your 12×12 scrapbooking paper.  Oh my gosh…

Greenhouse Gala Bag Front View – just look at all those pockets.

Greenhouse Gala Bag Back View – that is another huge pocket on the back.  There are also pockets on the side and a gazillion of them inside. 

Remember, the whole bag is FREEEEE if you sign up to be a demonstrator starting September 1st.   If you do not have a demonstrator and would like to sign up under me, please contact me at stampladee@aol.com or go to my website at http://stampladee.stampinup.net and click on START YOUR OWN BUSINESS, then Click on Join Now .  When it prompts you to enter a password, the password for my group is Deb Valder.  After you finish that, just follow the prompts and you are in and your bag will be instantly on it's way.  If you already have a demonstrator, you can also sign up with her.  

Did you know there was paper and stamps to match this bag? Coach Bags eat your heart out, you only have purses to match your bags!  So there!  The Designer Series Paper that this bag matches is on page 173 of the catalog and it too is called the Greenhouse Gala #117167.  And if that wasn't enough, we have TWO stamp sets to match the bag and the paper  found on page 99 of the big catalog- One of the sets is called Friends Never Fade #118750 wood mount and  #120618 clear mount.  The other stamp that matches this bag and paper is called Ornate Blossom #117094.  It is a single stamp and only available in wood mount.  They are both beautiful.  I'll be showing you pictures of these stamp sets in action in a few days.  So remember, if you are out there wanting to jump on board, contact me or sign up on line and INSTANTLY become a demonstrator but this special does not start until September 1st!

I have a class coming up soon that I'm prepping for now.  It's called the "Vintage Christmas Class".  I designed (all by myself) the first card for this class just the other day.  I needed to complete a swap I was doing for my friend Lisa Freeman and this is what I came up with.  So this is the first of several Vintage Holiday Cards we will be doing in the class. 

Most of the supplies for this card came from the Holiday Mini Catalog that you should have received by now.  If you didn't receive one, please contact me and I will get one out to you right away.  Mine were sent out by Stampin' Up! because I forgot to send them myself and they "picked and choosed" who they wanted them to go to (it's all sales driven) so if you ordered from me, you got one.  I know of a few husbands that got them, they were so excited and so were the wives because now they can pick out what THEY want to give their wives for Christmas!  YIPPEEEE.

So I'm not going to give you directions to this card, you will want to come to the class to learn some really exciting techniques that will really make your cards look like an old fashioned, very vingtage Christmas. 

Take care and check back tomorrow….Thank you for stopping by.
