Inkin with Val

Greetings! How can you have hundreds of project ideas, stamping tips, inspired color combinations, and a punch guide all at your finger tips? When you have your very own 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog as a part of your stamping tool kit. There are literally hundreds of cards, scrapbook pages, and other project ideas included in the 225 pages of this Idea Book. Project and stamping tips are also sprinkled throughout the book. New to this catalog, Stampin' Up! highlighted stamped images that coordinate with a punch so that you have a great reference guide for all of your current stamp sets. You will also find coordinating products listed together on the same page, so you won’t miss an item when purchasing an entire collection. And how cool would it be to stock-up on our new collections and possibly earn some additional free products? That way, you will have everything you need at your fingertips to create quick and easy projects because you already know that everything goes togeth...

I feel so bad! But I also havent been stamping. It has just been too hectic. I have to say, with so many people asking, I am planning some classes again for the Fall. The new catalog is also very inspiring! Want one??? I have them at my place, Just $12 each. If you are still looking for last year's copy, I am selling them for $7each and I only have a few left. Over the next couple of weeks (and I can't promise that it will be daily) whenever I have a few minutes, I will feature some of the new products here. Many of you may have heard by now, the 48 colors have been re-vamped. This will be my first feature, so watch for it soon! Happy Stamping! Val

I am so excited to have received my "preview" order. I got busy late last night using some of the goodies. I think I really like the new "In Colors" now that I have seen them in real . These cards were made using a template that I came across, I think from sheetload of cards . The red paper is a bit like Ruby Red, but it is actually Riding Hood Red. The patterned papers are from one of the new designer series papers, Bella Rose. In the photo you can also see the new Scallop Border Punch....really cool to play with too! I hope you enjoyed these, I hope to have another something to share with you tomorrow...oh wait, I can show you what the cover of the new catalog looks like... no, I don't have it yet but someone at convention shared it.

Here we are on the last day of the year 2007. I am sad yet excited... time goes by so quickly and every year seems to go even faster. As I reflect on the past year, I have to think of all my friends both on the internet and those I know in person. You are all special to me. Now as I look into the immediate future, I am thankful for all of you and looking forward to another (even though I know it will fly by once again) exciting year. The first week of January, even though it is still holidays, will bring the current stampers groups together. January 2, the new Stampin' Up! catalog will also come into effect. We all have been anxiously awaiting the news of lower prices due to the Canadian $ parity. We have been rewarded for our patience! The new catalog has lower prices. Yippeee! BUT WAIT!!! Stampin' Up! has lowered them even more due to the fact that when the catalog was produced, it was based on what the $ was valued at then. We have just received the news that the new prices ...
