IBC stands for Idea Book and Catalog. I host IBC Challenges to get you thinking of the Stampin' UP catalog as an idea book too. These challenges will be using a card or project from an Idea Book & Catalog as the challenge inspiration. IBC Challenges begin each Friday and end the following Friday. The winner will be chosen among those who enter the challenge will be showcased on my blog. There will be occasional prizes. Come to my blog to enter this week's IBC Challenge: http://thescrapmaster.blogspot.com .

WAITING LIST SIGN UP INFO (updated 8-18-08): My first hostess club is now full, but I am offering a waiting list sign up to anyone still interested. The club will start either when the waiting list is full or when my first hostess club ends. To sign up, send me an email at sstracha@utk.edu including your name, address, and phone number. I will confirm that I have received your info. The hostess club will work as follows: HOSTESS CLUB DETAILS: Stampin' UP! hostess groups are a great way to build your collection & give you an opportunity to make new friends interested in stamping. If you've never used SU! products before, this would be a great way to start -and you will be hooked! Here is how the hostess club works: I am looking for 10 members who are willing to spend $15.00 (plus shipping and tax) each month for 10 months. Each month's order will amount to $150 which qualifies for hostess benefits of a free hostess level 1 stamp set and $15.00 in free SU! products. Every month we will rotate the hostess who gets the free hostess goodies so that everyone gets them once. Everyone will receive a FREE catalog on their month. During your month, you can get even greater hostess benefits if you have your other friends order. **This is changed from my last hostess club sign up: If you feel that $15 is too small of an amount, sign up for 2 spots and then your commitment is $30 each month and you get TWO sets of hostess benefits!! You can sign up for as many spots as you want. If you already know you are going to spend more than $15 per month, you might as well get the benefits for it. Each month, I will have the entire combined order shipped to me, and I will send your part of the order to you! AND I will add little extra goodies each month (Cricut die cuts, pieces of ribbon, mini card kits, etc) for all members. To go along with the club, I will post new card samples and layout samples using some of the stamps I have ordered from the catalog in order to provide some inspiration and new techniques. I also plan to host mini online crops each month so that we can all chat and get to know one another. Payment will be through check, money order, Paypal (no extra fee), or credit cards. Orders and payment will be due the 15th of each month. Shipping from me to you will be USPS with delivery confirmation. If you have any questions please let me know. There are 10 spots total and when they fill, we will start the next hostess club.

Stamp-a-Stacks are card making events! At this Stamp-a-Stack make 12 Christmas cards, 4 each of three different designs!!
