Occasions & Sale-a-Bration Mini 2010 sneak peek #1

Hi Stampers :

As promised  here is  your  1st sneak peek  from me  of  some  goodies coming  your  way on January 5, 2010

This  card  wasn't  the  very 1st thing I created  with my new goodies   But it was the  2nd  item I made .

 The 1st item/s I stamped  I will get to share  with you  alittle later  since I made all my Glitter Queens  quarterly  cards as soon as my goodies arrived .

 I want them to see their  cards 1st, so I know  you  will understand  that alittle surprise for my Glitter Queens  is  good right ?

  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE  this card I am sharing  with you  all today . I used pixie pink  and pink passion with Black card stock .

 All the butterflies  are  from  the  new Occasion mini called Beautiful Wings  embosslit .

Hey Notice the  new punch I used also :)

This punch is called Scallop trim border  and this can be  yours for FREE  out of  the new sale-a-bration mini... YAHOO!!

 You are all going to love the new punches .. Not  only  are  they  FABULOUS ( as usual )   but  SU! is  announcing a New Punch design in the  new Sale-a-bration mini & and new Occasions mini . The new design is  AWESOME  for space saving storage. :)

I stamped the greeting on my card with the stamp set  from the  Sale-a-Bration mini as well called  Whimsical words  ( LOVE IT!)

To finish my card I added  my favorite doodle dots with my  white gel pen #105021

Remember  if  you placed  an order with me over the last year or so  your brand new Mini catalogs will be arriving in  your mail box  very soon :)

Until later... Happy Stampin!

Dawns Sunday Share 12-13-09

Hi Stampers : Happy Sunday Friends:)

This past week I  had to do something  that was very sad   for me  to do .. I had  to call  and cancel my Hubby's  ticket  for  the Stampin'Up! incentive trip ( Cruise )  I had  earned  to go on  in April 2010.

 As hard  as it  was  to  call and  cancel the  already arranged  itinerary  for this cruise  I  even  called my SAM ( Service account manager )  and  had a  Boo Hoo on her shoulder  She is sooo  AWESOME!! 

I had  arranged  back in Aug  for my Hubby  to be  my  1st  guest  for the cruise  and  we  were taking Jessie  as my add on  guest ( SU! gives  incentive  trip earners 2 FREE all expensense paid tickets for Cruise & Flight )  We  pay  for the  extra guests if we have  any ... well

  Hubby was my  1st guest  which was  FREE  I had pre paid  for the cruise part of the trip  for our Jessie  to go  back in Aug  and well  the  flight  info  for her  was  waiting  for  confirmation.

 I talked to hubby  and he  said  he wasn't able  to go  since  he is allowed  in states  for  30 days  within a  contract year  this  would not  allow him  to attend  Jessie's Graduation  in May  so  he made a choice  to NOT  go on  the cruise  with  Jess and I. Plus  He will be over in Iraq  for yet another year  this was  His  choice.  

The  good news is  they  refunded a % of  the  cruise  amount  we paid  for Jessie  and  also  made Jessie my  1st guest  instead of my hubby .. Praise God !

 As much as I  want my hubby  to go  with Jess & I on  my 1st  incentive trip  with SU!   I totally  understand  Very SAD but  I  understand :( Just wish  we could all be in 2 places at one time .

Starting  Tomorrow~ (Monday)  I will begin  sharing on Mondays  for the rest of the month  some samples/ sneak peeks   from the  Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration.

 All items in the  new mini catalogs  will be available starting on January 5, 2010 

  I have to share  with you  the photos I  took of my  Bowzer yesterday .. Jessie put one of her  t shirts on him  and what a HOOT!  Ever since Jessie was little  she has always dressed Bowzer  up in her clothes. He is  such a  sweet  doggie  cause he lets her  ..  Click on photos  to enlarge  your viewing

For my Sunday Share  I have a couple videos  for you  today .The 1st one  is from John Waller " While I'm waiting " this  video  will have  clips  from the movie Fireproof  which is AWESOME!

The 2nd video is one that compares  Jesus to santa .. Hummmm....Interesting  comparison  wouldn't you say ?

 

 

Until later ... Happy Stampin !

Have a Fabulous Sunday  friends :)
