Getting Ready for Payslee Lynn Parker

Starting a Paper Crafting Swap Group

After a visit from a friend and retired extension agent, I have the motivation to start a paper-crafting swap group. Is anyone interested? We would meet once a month and exchange projects based on a theme....color, stamp, technique, etc. I would like to start in September, so that allows enough time to recruit folks and get our first swap done. Please share this with other paper crafters you know. If we have six people, then we could host the swap twice during the year. It would be at least a 6 month commitment. Let me know of your interest and available times.

This would be in addition to my hostess clubs and classes, but there would be no fees.  The costs would be the supplies for the exchange projects and refreshments when you host. 

She Thought She Could...So She Did

I was hired as an event planner for a high school graduation party....Here are some of the shots, where Stampin' Up Products were used.

Note the banner that says graduate made with the pennant punch and some retired letter stamps.

The Designer Rosette Bigs XL die cuts on the wall. 

The pennant punch banner tops the Stampin' Up! Feels Good stamp cut in vinyl

Paper Pumpkin

Sweep away the mundane-your creativity carriage awaits!

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .

I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.

I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:

All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!

Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!

Get Started

It's so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!

The very first Paper Pumpkin will arrive on your doorstep starting in March-if you sign up before March 10.

Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you and your customer a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.  
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!) 
• There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
• Starting in early March, we'll offer a Try-It kit if you'd like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month.

Here's How You Order

Sign up for your monthly Paper Pumpkin by visitingwww.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it.

Starting in early March, you can try Paper Pumpkin for one month by visiting my online store.

A Free Gift in Your Very First Kit

The Welcome Kit is the very first Paper Pumpkin you will receive in your first month of membership. The Welcome Kit includes a free gift-a clear acrylic block!

Questions? We've Got Answers

Why are we offering Paper Pumpkin?

Paper Pumpkin is the perfect introduction to Stampin' Up! We designed it for crafters that want to create a project each month, but aren't quite ready to build a stamp collection (yet).

How does shipping work with Paper Pumpkin?

Your Paper Pumpkin will be automatically shipped to you each month (so fun!). Because we are auto shipping these, the pricing structure is slightly different from our other Stampin' Up! products.

Stampin' Up! Hostess Club - date change

Just a reminder that the hostess club for November will be held 11-14-2012, 11:00 am - 2:00 pm. Cost of the workshop is a $30 order. 

Gotta love this new SU personal trimmer!

Features of the All-New Stampin’ Trimmer

• An extra-wide 6-1/4″ cutting base and an extended 14-1/2″ ruler
  • The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4″ (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements.
  • The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
  • The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts.
  • When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
  • The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16″ and grid lines that mark each quarter inch.
  • All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won’t wear off.
  • The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin’ Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
• A full 12″ cutting and scoring track
  • The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don’t have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you’re not using them.
  • The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12″ (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles.
  • The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport.
  • The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
• Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
  • The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
  • Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring.
  • The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you’re cutting.
  • The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
• Storage compartment under base
  • The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards.
  • Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you’ve stored.
• Product details: item 126889; $29.95

October Stampin' Up! Promotion

I am a blog-reading fool.  Yesterday, I was about 1000 posts behind in reading all the blogs I follow.  I actually like blogs better than Pinterest.  What I like and want to remember on blog posts, I post on my personal bulletin boards on Pinterest.  I follow very few people on Pinterest.

All that to say, I decided to post these pics on my blog rather than Pinterest.  I am always looking for ways to organize and this just stood out with me.  The ideas are posted on "I am an Organizing Junkie"

Wonderfall

I would love to have you join me for Stampin' Up Fun.
