I had an awesome time in Salt Lake City. I thought I had posted at least once while I was there from my phone – but apparently it didn’t work. Wifi in the hotel was not good at all and I was really busy most of the time – going from one thing to another. The new catalog is coming – it’s a great one with a TON of new things – which of course means the retired list is coming and its going to be a big one. Retiring items are while supplies last – so be sure to order early rather than waiting until it is sold out. There are a few shockers on the list. I’ll be sharing later this week with my display samples and other photos from the OnStage Live event. I had the privilege of being selected to stamp samples for the display boards – I had a brand new stamp set – you aren’t going to believe how versatile it is – and some other new products. My samples are all made featuring the carry-over In-Colors.
Here is the list in a pdf format – Retiring List
.
And go here to shop in my online store – SHOP HERE. Categories are on the left – look under Retiring List to see what is going.
If you shop today you can take advantage of the last day of Weekly Deals – tomorrow they will be gone. And there are a bunch of great items on there.
Here is a quick peek at the new catalog cover:
And here are some photos from our first day of the event –
Those were the photos I tried to post and it didn’t work. I’ll have more later.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Im heading out Wednesday to Salt Lake City for the OnStage Live event. It’s the new “convention”. Just not called that anymore and the format has changed. There will be new surprises for us and a peek at the new catalog!! I’m blogging from my phone so we shall see how well that works. I won’t be able to share much until I get back but I’ll try to post photos of some of the fun we are having.
For now I leave you with a peek at my messy table. I’m hoping the fairies clean it up while I’m away.
Thanks for checking in.

You are the apple of my eye! The phrase apple of my eye refers to something or someone that one cherishes above all others. And I cherish all of you. Thank you for supporting me in my Stampin’ Up! business. January through March are always busy because of our Sale-A-Bration promotion. I was working to reach some goals during that time and then in the last few days realized I was not that far from achieving another goal – one I never really thought I could reach so I never paid much attention to it. It’s a performance goal based on sales for the quarter. With 2 days left in the quarter I was still $500 away. I tried to casually post on FB, and then send out reminder emails and I was doing the countdown here on my blog. I didn’t want anyone to miss out on getting their free sets during Sale-A-Bration. Well as it turned out I had enough orders to reach that performance bonus for the quarter!! Thank you so much! It also ended up being my highest sales month ever – that’s over the last 10years. So I cherish all of you that ordered and cheered me on and supported me in any way. 2016 is off to a great start so far!!
So enough chit chat – here is my card for you today.
This is a fun set with all the fruit – you can make apples, peaches, pears, cherries, lemons, limes and I’m sure there are more. I used the apple on this card and on the coordinating envelope. I wanted the apple to have some variation in colors so I did a version of the old Rock-n-Roll technique. It doesn’t seem to work quite the same with the Photopolymer stamps and the new ink pads so I had to play a little. I inked the apple and stamped it off and then added more ink by rolling the edges and not letting all of it touch the pad again. Each one was different but it was fun playing with the variations.
Here is the supply list:

Mar 30, 2016 | 2-Step Stampin', Sale-A-Bration 2016 |
It ends on March 31st – that’s tomorrow! So there is just a little more than one day left to get your free sale-a-bration items or get an awesome deal on the Starter Kit.
Here is an idea using the What I Love stamp set – a beautiful two-step (or 3 step) photopolymer set.
Stamp the flower with the outline first in your darkest color. Then use the solid pieces in lighter colors. Each one adds a little more depth to the flower. Try different combinations of colors – 3 different shades. Or use one or two colors and stamp off to get lighter versions of the same color. What that means is if you ink you stamp and then stamp the image – that would be the darkest – full strength. If you stamped it again without reinking it would be lighter – the second generation. And you could do it a third time. So when switching images you use your scrap paper to stamp off to get to the generation that you want.
Thanks for stopping by!
I can’t believe Sale-A-Bration is almost over! And in two weeks I’ll be headed to Salt Lake City for the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live event (convention with a new name). I have so much to do!
