Inkin with Val

Hi Everyone! I just want to share with you that by the end of this month (June) my demonstratorship will expire. I just don't have enough buying customers any longer to be able to keep it. I will be able to provide you with the new catalog but it is pre-order only ($11ea) Deadline to order is Monday June 20th. My website will be active til the end of the month as well if anyone would like to order anything yet from the outgoing catalog or mini catalog. Val

Stampin' Up! Just announced that they will be starting their May promotion as of today!!! Aren't we lucky! Have a peek here for the sale items and then let me know before the 30th (early enough, as the order site will be very very busy) and I can add your items to my order that is going in. May is National Scrapbooking Month, and May 7th is National Scrapbooking day... Do you have plans yet for either the month or specifically for the 7th? Have you started Digital Scrapbooking? did you know that Stampin' Up! offers their download products for "other" programs? If you are digital scrapbooking and love the Stampin' Up! products, you can purchase individual items and use them with your current program. A sale on Printing your photo books is also starting today! check the prices here. Please let me know if you have any questions, I will help in any way I can! (and look for the answers if I don't know it ;) ) Happy Scrappin' (and stampin') Val

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

So many Specials for you all in the coming months. So many that I'm beginning to lose count which is what has my mind boggled. There's something for everyone - demonstrators, customers, hostesses and new demonstrators! In the next few weeks, if you are on my mailing list, you will receive a Catalogue Sampler brochure for the new catalogue. I know you'll have the whole catalogue in your hot little hands by then so what's the point of the Sampler you might ask. (that is, if you are a customer and have ordered one - if not check in with me to see if I have extras!) from October 1 - November 30 a hostess with an workshop of $460 or more can pick any item from this Sampler for FREE in addition to her regular hostess benefits. there's more...from August 11 - October 11 new demonstrators who sign up with the current Starter Kit will receive any stamp set from the new catalogue for FREE. This kit is $249 plus GST and includes everything you need to become a Stampin' Up!...

It was high time I got these done for my Daughter-in-Law (boy it feels strange to say that instead of son's Girlfriend, but really really cool ) She was able to hand them all out and cross one more thing off her list. I stamped these using bashful blue cardstock ballet blue cardstock bashful blue classic ink bashful blue stampin' write marker Year after Year Stamp set accessories: brads, punches, hemp and gingham ribbon As you can see, the dark faux buttons were created using first the1/16"punch and cutting 2 holes, and then the 1/2" circle punch around them. This created a "button" look to accent the cards. Give it a try, maybe even emboss them first...
