Catalogues – Page 11 – mmm…Stampin' Time

I have enjoyed the last few weeks playing with all the new goodies that Santa let me have for Christmas. I must have been very good to be allowed to be so naughty!

There are so many wonderful products in the Occasions catalogue and it is a bonus to be able to select free items from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. For every $90 I spent, I could choose something from Sale-a-bration … it was very nice to be able to choose a few.

As much as all this playtime has been a lot fun, I need to start thinking about what I’m doing with my Stampin’ Up journey into 2015.

Last year, I hosted a couple of make and takes with friends from work, after school … a nice and easy introduction to organising workshops as a demonstrator.

This year I want to build on this and so I had my first event for 2015 yesterday – an Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogue launch at my home.

Eight wonderful women, including my mentor Tanya Bell, willingly agreed to let me practice with/on them.

We made four projects and had lots of fun. I was very pleased with how the afternoon went and am very excited about planning more!

I am pleased to report that everyone survived and there were no tears!!

All set up and ready to go ... — All set up and ready to go …

Most people look forward to the time after Christmas for the Boxing Day sales. However, with Stampin’ Up, it’s all about the Occasions Catalogue and Sale-a-bration!

From January 6, 2015 you can order from the new Occasions catalogue – believe me, there are so many amazing new products to choose from … and to make this even more exciting, the Sale-a-bration catalogue launches at the same time!

During Sale-a-bration (January 6 to March 31), for every $90 of Stampin’ Up products you order, you can choose one of the products in the Sale-a-bration catalogue. You can order from any of the current SU catalogues, not only Occasions.

So if you’ve had goodies on your wish list for a while or find yourself tempted with all the new treats in Occasions, January 6 is a date to place on your calendar.

Now, I can’t show you pages from the catalogues here but I can share the covers and over the next few weeks I’ll be posting projects that I make using products from the new catalogues.

If you don’t think you can wait until January 6 and want to see what all the excitement is about, you can contact me and I can send you both catalogues … delivered to you if you live in Bundaberg or posted if you’re further afield.

As this is my first online SU demonstrator launch, I would like to get these catalogues to you as my gift for sharing my new site.
