Stampin' Up! have a great video called "First Impressions" which introduces you to the company and to the products.
Click HERE to watch it, but before you do, go grab yourself a cuppa as the video is just over 13 minutes long.
This video was available to demonstrators only and we would then give them out to anyone interested in Stampin' Up! Luckily, you can now view it on the Stampin' Up! website at anytime.
Whilst the video refers to the USA & Canada, you get the idea.

Yay! The day has finally arrived.
Meet........... the BRAND NEW Idea Book & Catalogue.
(click on the picture to be taken to the online catalogue)
I have had my copy for a few weeks now (a perk of being a demonstrator) and there are so many new stamps, designer series paper and brand new brads, with lots more.
You can request your copy at any time through me, don't be shy - contact me!
Grab yourself a cuppa and go online to check out the catalogue.
Happy Stamping,

Here are a couple of the stamps from the Pretty Princess set.
Both of these cards I did for sketch challenges.
Pretty Princess is still available at this stage so get in quick if you want to purchase this set.
Contact me for any order you wish to place.
Happy Stamping,
.
P.S. - thank you for the lovely comments regarding yesterday's post. The morning sickness is getting much better (touch wood!) so it looks like it is coming to an end.
The following cards use Bundle Of Joy which is another set that will retire. Boo hoo!
As you can see I have used it many times and I think set I will never part with. I just think it is so cute.
This was a sketch challenge I did back in February '08 - wow a long time ago now. It was a sketch challenge from Jen Del Muro. I must get back into my challenges as I really did enjoy them.
Another Beate sketch challenge. I LOVE pink (in case you hadn't noticed!) and I think the soft pink colours are best for baby cards. This I made for my good friend who lives in Mexico when she had her baby girl a year ago last week.
This card I made for our friends Neill & Kath who had a baby boy (of course). I found this sketch on SCS and loved it so I have used it a number of times now.
Don't forget that stock is running out fast so get your order in to me as quickly as you can to avoid disappointment.
.
I think Bold Butterfly was one of the first sets I bought (before I became a demonstrator!). I made this card for one of Beate's sketch challenges, back when I did a lot of sketch challenges.
Ah, the faux tile technique! This was my very first attempt and I don't think I have done it since! LOL
Bold Butterfly also has a matching wheel (Flitting By).
Contact me to place your order quickly before stocks run out. Once they are gone, they won't be coming back.
Happy Stamping,
.
Gosh, I made this card back in December 2007!
Crab & Company is another set that will retire come the 31st March.
This Christmas crab is from when I hosted a cyberstamp night and this was the sketch challenge (I think it is a "Taylor" sketch if I am remembering correctly). The DSP (Designer Series Paper) that you see is also retiring along with all the other DSP.
The retired stamps & accessories will only be available while stocks lasts. There are already a few things that have sold out so get in quick to avoid disappointment.
Happy Stamping,
.
The retired list is now out for you to see. Click HERE. I will attach some cards I made using the retired stamp sets and accessories, so keep coming back.
This card I made ages ago uses the Ahoy Matey set.
I am sad to see this one retire but we will have loads more new sets coming which is exciting.
Happy Stamping,
.
Yes, that is me! I do have a very good excuse though.....more on that later.
Sale-A-Brationends on the 28th February!! (only 1 week remaining to place your order!).

You still have until the 31st March before the current Summer Mini ends.
There are some gorgeous DSP and stamp sets amongst some other yummy stuff. Browse through the catalogue and tell me that you're impressed with what you see!
Contact me with your order now.
P.S. - best to buy now as the retirement list will be coming out on the 1st March and we don't know what will make it into the new 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue released on the 1st April. As soon as stocks run out, that's it - no more!
(picture contains Afternoon Tea & Ginger Blossom DSP & some of the Embrace Life stamp set)
As you may or may not be aware, the new Australian Idea Book & Cataloguecomes out in April. This means that some stamp sets will no longer be available to buy but new stamps will replace them! This is also the same for the DSP (Designer Series Paper). I would suggest to you that if you like a particular paper pack be that from the Idea Book & Catalogue or the current Summer Mini Catalogue, I would purchase them now. Once stocks run out they will not be coming back.
Summer Mini DSP
Afternoon Tea (111356) - $11.95
Bali Breeze (110696) - $11.95
Ginger Blossom (110697) - $11.95
Being a demonstrator means you get to see the retired list in March (just one of the perks!) at the moment we do not know what will be retired yet.
Don't forget that for every $100 you spend, you are entitled to a free stamp set! Oh yes, it is FREE!!! There are 4 sets to choose from so if you spend $200, you will get 2 stamps sets free. Get the picture!
Contact me if you wish to purchase anything from either catalogue and I can have your order delivered straight to your door or workplace.
Happy Stamping,

I will show over the next week some of the cards I have made using a few of these sets. Still pretty busy here in the UK with our house renovations. The English weather is back (rain) and we are in the middle of repairing the roof! Not good but it is sealed so no rain should get in. I caught up with some friends yesterday for a lovely lunch. I was so full afterwards but still it was nice! LOL Happy Stamping,

How lucky are you to get another great promotion from Stampin' Up! as well as the fantastic stamps in the Spring Mini catalogue.
For the whole month of September, when you purchase a preselected stamp set (see table below), you will receive the coordinating wheel FREE!! Yes, I said FREE! How great is that? You can make the wheeled image as bold or subtle as you like just by using different ink pads (e.g. - the wheeled image to the left has used the versamark ink pad, a very nice sublte look!).
The wheels are simple and easy to use. If you are new to Stampin' Up! and/or haven't used the wheels before, I would suggest also purchasing the Stampin' Around Wheel Guide (page #151 in the Idea Book & Catalogue) to guide you for perfectly straight line or even a mitered corner. Don't forget the handles (standard & jumbo) also on page 151.
Contact me to place your order or to find out more information.

Don't forget.....
You only have until the 15th August to take up this offer (5 days to go!). Please contact me if you are thinking about it or want to know more. If When you do decide to, you will love it just as I do! Being a demonstrator means you get the inside scoop of things to come and also you can access the 'demonstrator only' section on the Stampin' Up! website which means you are never short of inspiration. Plus, the quality of SU! products superb and you will be able to share this with others.
As well as all that, you will be able to join me on Jayne's (my upline) forum and be apart of the INKlings. We have a cyberstamp once a month where one person will set the challenges (usually 3) and we chat while we stamp and complete our cards/scrapbook layout. The INKlings just had their first stamp camp and by all accounts (I wasn't able to make it - boo hoo) it was a roaring success - so much so that Jayne is organising next years. How about that, a weekend of stamping, chatting and more than likely drinking (LOL) with a bunch of lovely ladies. Ah, bliss.
So what are you waiting for? Join me along this wonderful Stampin' Up journey where along the way, you will meet lovely people and make some great friends as I have (~waving at my fellow demonstrators~).

P.S. - I will try and stamp over the weekend but I may not have time. My dad had a big operation yesterday and has had to stay in hospital another day due to the doctor not being 100% happy with him going home, so my head is all over the place and not quite ready to stamp. Thanks for your patience.
From the 1st July to the 15th August, you get $25 off the already fabulously priced starter kit. Instead of paying $560 worth of Stampin' Up! stamping products and business supplies, you will only pay $299.
