Hi

I am getting ready to leave the cold and snow of Minnesota behind and head for warmer weather in Tucson, Arizona.  My husband and I will be there for our 31^st wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day.  I am really looking forward to some time off from my full-time job.  Being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is my part-time job but it is so fun that it doesn’t feel like a job. 

So, before I leave, I wanted to send you the February Creative Idea calendar.  I create a new calendar for my newsletter subscribers every month as a PERK for signing up.  The calendar is my gift to you and it is not published anywhere else.  I hope you find it helpful and it provides inspiration on those days when you just don’t know where to start paper crafting.  Each day the calendar will give you a technique or a fun fold or a tool to try. I attached a PDF version of the calendar in case you want to download it and print it off. 

I also wanted to tell you about a new Kit that came out on February 1^st called the Wreath of Blooms.  All you need is a hot glue gun to make this great wreath.  Make one and give it as a gift or buy two Kits and invite a friend over to make one along with you!  That’s what I plan on doing! The kit is only $13 and you can order it by clicking this link. 

The kit includes: 

• One 8" (20.3 cm) diameter chipboard wreath.
• Precut paper pieces that can be rolled and shaped into three-dimensional blossoms.
• Multicolored brads to keep everything together.
• Thick twine to hang your wreath.
• Enough adhesive* to complete the project.
• Coordinating colors: Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Night of Navy, Pear Pizzazz, Petal Pink, So Saffron, white.

Lastly, I wanted to remind you that Sale-a-bration is continuing through the end of the month. So, make sure to take advantage of the FREE stuff you can get with every $50 or $100 order.  Stampin’ Up! added some additional products from the annual catalog that you can get for FREE with a qualifying order (below).  But be sure to use the item number below and not the item numbers from the catalog if it is going to be your Freebie. I like that Essential Tag Punch and Enjoy the Journey DSP. Here is the link to my online store. 

During Sale-a-bration, Stampin’ Up! has a tremendous opportunity if you would like to join our community of demonstrators as a hobbyist or a business owner.  The benefits are many including 20-25% discount on all your stamping tools and supplies as well as earning 20-25% on any products your sell to others.  You can pre-order new products and get a sneak peak at the new catalogs before anyone else. Even if you don’t want to run a business, there is no obligation to sell and you can stop at anytime.  Here are the 3 different options to join and they are the best starter kit options every offered.
