I wanted to remind you that during Sale-A-Bration (which ends on September 30) is a fabulous time to JOIN to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator!  You pay just $99 and choose $125 in products of your choice.  And, during SAB, you choose a bundle from the Holiday Catalog ~ your choice ~ as a gift from Stampin' Up! to new demonstrators!  Join my team, SOUTHERN STARS, for access to our FB page, monthly meetings and inclusion in my clubs and classes (if you would like).  If you have questions just let me know.  I joined on May 17, 1999 only because I wanted the discount on everything that I wanted in the catalog.  I was new to stamping, introduced through calligraphy, and wanted lots of products.  That was 22 years ago and it has been a joy ~ mostly because of all of my new (and old) friends who enjoy creating with me.  Think about it & let me know.

RED RUBBER STAMPS!

This is such a nice video and I have been looking forward to sharing it with you.  It gives you information about the production of Stampin' Up!'s red rubber stamps and focuses on the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, FEELS LIKE HOME, on page 6 in the SAB brochure.  It is always interesting to see 'how' something is produced.  I have been on the production line in Kenab where these stamps are produced several times.  It is always fascinating and I wish every one of you could be there in person.  Let me know what you think about the process.

October Paper Pumpkin

When you picture a peaceful Christmas, what comes to mind? Do you see snow outside your window, softly swirling through the sky? A tree trimmed with tinsel, a fire crackling nearby? Maybe you’re dreaming of decorating a holly jolly gingerbread house. Can you catch a whiff of Christmas cookies wafting through the air?

Whatever it is you think about when Christmas comes to town, picture a peaceful Christmas with the Peaceful Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kit! This glimmering and gleaming kit is your creative kickstart to Christmas cardmaking. With sprinkles of snow, shimmering silver skies, and heartwarming holiday wishes, you’ll have enough elements and embellishments to create 10 Christmas cards and coordinating envelopes.

Speaking of coordination, make even more Christmas magic with Peaceful Place products! Our stunning Peaceful Place Suite Collection (item 156277) pairs perfectly with the kit’s components. Brew a cup of cocoa, snuggle up with a soft blanket, and prepare for a cozy craft night in!

Melissa's back ~ more PP news...

Once gain I am reminded why I LOVE Paper Pumpkin!  Melissa's September 5 post.

I received the Box of Sunshine LAST summer, and apparently put it away for future enjoyment.

I have been on a kick this year to challenge myself to USE UP my most treasured Designer Series Papers and embellishments.  Because, of course, every year Stampin’ Up comes out with NEW DSP that I fall in love with all over again.

So when I found this old Paper Pumpkin kit, all ready to be assembled, I jumped it.  LO AND BEHOLD….the kit came with SO MANY EXTRA embellishments that I was able to dig into my DSP stash and my ribbon/sequin drawer and VOILA….I made 14 EXTRA cards (pic 2) on top of the 8 from the original kit (pic 1).

If you have not experienced the sheer delight of Paper Pumpkin, please give it a try.  You will be delighted!  I am delighted every single month!

Here’s to your Health,

 Melissa
