IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE!

Today is launch day - hooray! As promised, this Mini Catalogue is anything but mini on wonderful products! You can view the entire catalogue by clicking the picture on the sidebar at left.

The Spring Mini offers a fresh selection of your favourite items available until the end of November. This mini catalogue really does have something for everyone! You'll love the array of styles represented in the stamp sets and the fantastic new accessories.

A few of the highlights for me are...

TART & TANGY ENSEMBLE
Stampin' Up! always comes out with new coordinating products, and I love their newest ensemble. The Summer Picnic Designer Series paper is seriously cute. The bright, summery colours combined with the cute fruit images make me just want to eat it! Add the Tart & Tangy stamp set and Rub-Ons, and I am ready for summer!

ONE OF A KIND SET & PUNCH
Stampin' Up! has done it again! This time the three-flower punch coordinates with a stamp set in the Boho West Style Watch product line - One of a Kind. I adore this set, and now I can have flower accents in seconds using the punch!

ON BOARD TRIMMINGS
Start a new tradition - handmade ornaments and decor! With our On Board Trimmings, Holiday Harmony Designer Series Paper and coordinating Accents & Elements, you'll be ready to deck the halls and your gifts in true Christmas style.


If you would like to book a workshop with me so I can show you some great products and techniques, just email me. My contact details are in my profile at left.
