CAUTION: Opening Could Cause Extreme Excitement

WOW! WOW!! WOWIE!!! Did I say WOW???

I just received my first order of the new year. It has my Occasions Mini and Sale-A-Bration items in it. It's so exciting when my "Brown Man" leaves a present on my doorstep.





Did you see my EXCITEMENT from above?

See, see what was on the top of the box:
"CAUTION: opening box may cause extreme excitement"






OK, the box is open. Can't see my items yet, just all this packing materiel. Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining, because it is protecting all my new "toys" and goodies, hidden just below all that packing...







Oh look, there they are, peeking their little heads out of the box. Can you hear them?

"We're in our new home...see the light! We've been stuffed, plunged into darkness, jossled, loaded, unloaded, loaded and unloaded again. It's so cold out, we nearly froze our item numbers off. Ah, we're in our new home. Look, there's our SU demonstrator looking down at us. What a wonderful sight."


Here's my little darlings all unpacked and on display for all to see.

Circle Scissor and Glass Mat; DSP; wood mound stamps; new clear mound stamps; new satin ribbon (ask about my Ribbon Share); new style punches; felt flowers; and last but not least - new sizzlits and embossing folder.

Most everything here is from the Occasions and SAB mini catalogs.

Hope you enjoyed my theatrics above.

Occasions Mini Catalog is Finally Here!

The much anticipated Occasions Mini Catalog is finally here. It runs from January 5 - April 30, 2010

When it rains it pours good things... Country Living Cards à la Carte Special, Definitely Decorative, more Definitely Decorative, Sale-A-Bration, and the Occasions Mini Catalog.

The Occasions Mini Catalog debuts our new Clear-Mount Stamp Sets* and Clear-Mount Blocks. Also our new 5/8" Satin Ribbon (pg 27) in some basic but popular colors (check out my Ribbon Share email). Also a first is the new Designer Series Paper Stack - Sweet Pea (pg 33). Then there is the new punch style (pgs 10-11) with a sleeker body. The new style gives more precise cutting, better punching leverage, and space-saving storage. Check out the Sale-A-Bration brochure to get the Scallop Border Punch FREE, which coordinates with the Scallop Trim Corner punch in the Occasions Mini.

If you love butterflies, check out the Stampin' Up! Embosslits Die - Beautiful Wings (pg 24). Use this in your Sizzix Big Shot to cut and emboss at the same time. Check out the accordion card on the front of the Occasions Mini Catalog to see how you can use them. So cute - use any of our Designer Series Paper or coordinating card stock to cut them out and embellish your cards and projects.

Remember your purchases count towards earning FREE merchandise in the Sale-A-Bration Mini Catalog.

*NOTE: In the Occasions and SAB catalogs, Clear Mount has a 'C' before the item number, and Wood Mount has a 'W' before the item number. So make sure you use the correct item number.

You can order, on-line 24/7, from my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website - just click SHOP NOW in the upper right hand corner, and select me to be your demonstrator. If you prefer, you can contact me to place your order.
