Carol’s Stampin’ News Happy New Year Stampers!!!


2011 is Here!! What happened to 2010??? It went by so fast and before you know it, Easter will be here. Before Easter, Valentine’s Day…My 18th Anniversary!!!

Did you get all your Christmas cards in the mail before Christmas??? If not, I know you are not alone…This year, I got most of my cards in the mail before Christmas and a few were mailed out the day after. SO this year I am going to try and get ahead by making a few Christmas cards each month. Pat Matsko mentioned this great idea, so I am going to see how I do this year. I will keep you up to date….

With the beginning of a New Year, My Stampers 10 Club starts up again this month. The club consists of various stampers who choose 1 or 2 spots in the club. When I reach 10 members, I start another club. So far I have 15 spots reserved and 5 spots available. Each spot in the club requires just a $15 minimum purchase each month for 10 months. Each month a different person will be the Hostess and receive the Hostess benefits for the total of the club orders. Also included in Club membership – The Catalog and in July, the New Catalog. These catalogs are full of fantastic ideas. Each month on the 3rd Friday evening and 3rd Sunday afternoon I hold the club meeting at my house. We usually make 2 cards or a card and a project each month. January’s club meeting will be held on Jan 21st and Jan 23rd (changed from the 16th since I will be returning from Leadership Convention in Nashville).

If you are interested in signing up for Club, please email me ASAP to reserve your spot. Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Beginning Jan 25th and running thru March 31st, is Stampin’ Up’s! Sale a bration. During Sale a bration, Stampin’ Up! Has a line of products, stamps, papers, embellishments, Digital Downloads, and Décor Elements as well as some stamp sets from the regular catalog….FOR FREE! YEP.
