Big News from Stampin' Up!

So by now you may have heard about the changes Stampin' Up! is planning for the upcoming catalog in July. Beginning with the release of the Idea Book and Catalog in July 2009 the catalog will be an annual publication once more! That's right we are going back to just one catalog per year!! There will also be 3 mini catalogs each having order dates of 4 months! The mini catalogs will include new hostess sets as well as awesome seasonal stamp sets and new accessories. The Decor Elements catalog will come out twice a year.


I'm very pleased with Stampin' Up!. I like that they are constantly trying new things, but that they are reflective with everything they do and if it's just not working out, they have no problems changing it again or going back to the "old" way. I like that they listen to demonstrator and customer comments as well. So many times they "hear" what we're saying, whether we're emailing in or giving input via surveys, or speaking to them at events.



I'll be excited to hear more details on this change as the summer draws nearer, and I'll be sure to post updates as I get them!






This is a cute swap I got at convention this summer. The kids in stamp club love to use this fun stamp set called Bugs and Kisses. It is currently on the Dormant List but is still available to order. It is just not featured in the current catalog.

Hope you have a good day! If you live in the Northeast part of the country you may want to get your errands done early today as the weatherman is calling for heavy snow later today. Where I live we are expecting periods of snow with accumulations of 2-3 inches per hour!! Perfect weather for a fire in the fireplace and lots of stamping!!
