Stampin' Up! Demonstrator: 3rd anniversary! Let's Celebrate With a Contest

To celebrate my 3rd Anniversary as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I'm going to have a contest.   During the month of August (August 1st thru and including August 31st, 2011)  anyone who places an order thru me or thru my Stampin' Up! website will receive a minimum of one chance to win $50 worth of Stampin' Up! products of their choice.   There will be one winner drawn on September 1st.   The winner will be able to choose merchandise worth up to $50 from the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog and/or the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I will also pay the tax and shipping on the order for the winner.

Here's how you will earn chances to win per each order placed:   ($ is before tax & shipping)
$ 1.00 - $49.99 = 1 chance
$50.00 - $99.99 = 2 chances

If order is over $399.99, 1 chance per each additional $50.00 in purchases.

I am a US Demonstrator and can only accept orders from those in the US.   Contest is limited to people who purchase from me or thru my Stampin' Up! website August 1, 2011 thru August 31, 2011.   Winner will be notified by e-mail on September 1, 2011.


Sunday marked my 3rd Anniversary as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by.   I started out as a hobby demonstrator (just signing up for the demonstrator discount).  Then as time went on, began adding customers then teaching classes and building my team.  I'm always looking for individuals who would like to join my team.   Contact me for further information.

This contest/promotion is NOT sponsored in any way by Stampin' Up!.  It is a personal promotion that I am paying for myself as a Thank You to all of my customers who place an order this month and also to celebrate my 3rd year anniversary as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

My Digital Studio Downloads - August 16, 2011 - 2nd post today

The latest My Digital Studio downloads have just been posted.   

I finished the digital scrapbook for my nephew last week and actually got it into the mail on the weekend.  I can't wait for him to be able to see it.   It is filled with family photos, memories, and even a long letter I wrote him that was filled with memories of his mom (my sister) who passed away last year.   I used My Digital Studio to create the album.   Hal scanned so many photos for me and then I tweaked the photos in Paint Shop Pro before adding to the digital album.

Sneak Peek Holiday Mini #2 - DSP and Ribbon

Sneak Peek Items in this card:
Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty Designer Series Paper, item #124004
3/8" Quilted Satin Ribbon - Cherry Cobbler, item #124105
These items will be available for purchase as of September 1st.

The DSP has poinsettias, pinceones, and holly berries.  This piece looks like tiny roses.  Two sheets even have glitter accents to them.   The Holly Berry Bouquet Paper uses:  Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron, and Very Vanilla for its colors.  I see so many uses for this DSP.

Did you notice the amazing quilted satin ribbon???  It comes in Cherry Cobbler (Item #124105) and Early Espresso (item #124104).  It is gorgeous.  The photo doesn't do it justice.
