Hi!

As a scrapbooker I never dreamed I would become so excited about stamps!  I am sure there is something in the ink that is the cause of my addiction LOL.  Whatever it is - I don’t want a cure!  

Since becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator I have learned how to incorporate my love of stamps into my scrapbooks for truly customized layouts and my family appreciates the personal touch it brings to them.

My husband loves that we have earned free cruises from Stampin’ Up!  Me too, but I love that I get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas & encouragement to my customers, who soon become my friends!  The Friendships are the best perk I have received! 

My family thinks that I am ’working’ but I know I am having FUN!  Shhhh!  Don’t tell them!

Stampin' Up!'s 20 Anniversary Convention was AWESOME!  I had a great time seeing new friends, learning new tricks, and hearing about AMAZING new products too!  I am exhausted, but happy!!

I hope you will come to my Open House on Saturday, 8/16/08 between 4 PM & 8 PM.  I will have a FREE Make & Take Project, The New Catalog available, new products to try; including the NEW SIZZIX items!  SU will be carrying the Sizzix Big Shot Die-cutting Machine, and will have some EXCLUSIVE DIES made just for SU.  SO STINKIN' CUTE TOO!  

I will also have some of the new Decor Elements on hand.  Although my house is in mid-renovations (pardon our dust) and I won't have any of these up on my walls yet I will have them there for you to see other great ideas for them.  Vinyl Wall Art is HOT right now, and when Phase II rolls out your will be amazed at how SU has done it again...even with Phase One, pretty cool stuff!!

I hope you will come and BRING A FRIEND I have not yet met for a fun gift.  Remember to bring your datebooks, you are going to want to date a workshop of your own, join a few of my upcoming classes (keep watching this website for dates to be adding in the next week), clubs and more!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hugs, Karie B.
