Most importantly – the new January – April Mini Catalog is now live!  Plus, it’s Sale-A-Bration time – from now through the end of February, you can earn FREE products with purchases of $60 or more.  Check out the brochure in the sidebar.  And as if that isn’t enough, a new Scrapbooking Brochure has been released.  Be sure to look at the products available in it.

During Sale-A-Bration, it’s a great time to consider becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.  You may ask why.  Watch the video below highlighting the perks to joining and learn about the Sale-a-Bration join offer. Remember as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, you can enjoy product discounts, preview, and make early purchases on new releases plus be a part of a wonderful community of crafters.  Best of all, you do not have to sell.  And if you ask me, the greatest perk is becoming a member of my Playtime with Paper team! (LOL) Whether you opt to make it a business or join as a hobby demonstrator, you’ll receive my support and be able to participate in all team events.  You can join here.  I would love to welcome you to my team.
