Oh My Goodness, So much new stuff to share!

Alot has been happening lately in the Stampin' Up! world. A new SU! started and they just held convention where all sorts of new and exciting things were announced! I should first start off my telling you that I have finally received my catalogs and they are WONDERFUL! There are so many new and exciting things in there that have already made their way to my mile long wish list. Here are some exciting things you are going to want to know about (the list is long, but try to hang in there):

• All NEW stamp sets will be die-cut! No more cutting around the image

• There is a new addition coming… the Sizzix Big Shot for Stampin'
  Up! die-cut machine! Partnering with Sizzix, Stampin' Up! is
  offering this exclusive machine available only through Stampin' Up!
  demonstrators. In addition to the die-cut machine, Stampin' Up!
  will offer 29 Sizzix dies and 7 exclusive dies. The exclusive dies are
  only available through Stampin' Up!

• Once again, Stampin' Up! is partnering with Country Living
  magazine to offer an exclusive holiday kit. The Holiday Collection
  Stampin' Kit will include exclusive stamps, a combination of
  Designer Series paper, and coordinating accessories that will only
  be available through this offer.

• Shelli Gardner, Founder and CEO of SU!, is coming out with her
  own line of products! This collection will span the entire Stampin'
  Up! product line, including stamp sets, home décor, and accessories.
  You will get your first peek in the upcoming Holiday Mini.

• Our Décor Elements product line is expanding to include
  new images and even color! Décor Elements is
  vinyl artwork for walls, mirrors, windows, or other
  hard, smooth surfaces. There are many beautiful images
  and words available so everyone is sure to find
  something that would fit their home or office. In fact,
  there are some colored ones that you will be able to
  order beginning Oct. 1st.

• There has never been a better time to join the Stampin' Up! family. From Aug. 11-Oct. 11, customers will have the option of becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator by purchasing one of three special mini Starter Kits priced at $99. You can chose from Stamp-Focused, Scrapbook-Focused or Home-Decor Focused. If you love stamping and scrapbooking as much as I do, this is the perfect opportunity to become a demonstrator. Don't forget that there are business demonstrators and hobby demonstrators. If you would like to know more about becoming a part of this wonderful company, please email me at marji_young@yahoo.com.

There's more exciting news coming, so be sure to check back for my Sept. class dates and my Sept. crop date. I'll also be offering a ribbon group buy this month along with an In-color group buy. Have a great day! (I sure do hope it's cool wherever you are. It's in the high 90's here and the humidity feels VERY HIGH!)
