Product of the Month: Stampin' Scrub & Stampin'Mist
I admit it, I can be lazy.  Lately I have been bringing all my inked stamps to the sink to rinse them clean (water based ink just rinses right off) instead of using my scrub.  However, I forgot that it's important to also condition my stamps (makes them last a whole lot longer and doesn't dry out the rubber).  Stampin' Up! makes this easy for us with their Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner.  Really it's quite easy to use.  Spray one side of the scrub with the cleaner and rub your stamp on it and then rub your stamp on the dry side.  That's it (and really that's pretty quick & easy).  My scrub is now sitting on my worktable.

Stampin' Scrub #126200 $17,
Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner #102394 $4.50 (they sell a large refill bottle too).
Open House This Saturday!
There is still room for you at my Open House this Saturday, however you must RSVP ASAP (the early bird spots have all been filled).  I will have stations set up throughout my house for you to make four cards.  This is a free event.  Consider asking a friend to come with you so you can both discover the joy in stamping. Come anytime between 10 - 1pm.

Who says organization has to be boring? This fun printed tin gives you plenty of room to store the cards that you make in this kit, plus room for more. Kit includes enough card bases and accents for 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs.

I'll have my kit on display at my Open House if you want to see it in person.
"No Contact"
Last week someone placed an online order with me purchasing a 3 month pre-paid subscription for Paper Pumpkin (it's on sale until the end of March for $55). This person checked a box "no contact" which means I get alerted of the order, but not the person's information. Because of this lack of information, I can't contact you, mail you a thank you card or send you a Paper Pumpkin ink storage box because I don't know who you are!
 
If you place an online order, please do NOT check the "no contact" box because I like to mail out cards to my customers.  
 
If this was you (the order was placed on Feb. 17), please reach out to me and let me know it was you.  We can change your preference on the online order system so this doesn't happen again and then I can mail you some thank you cards.
Sale-A-Bration ends on March 31!
You have one month left to enjoy all the perks, benefits and sales of Sale-A-Bration.  Each order that totals $50 or more earns a free, exclusive Sale-A-Bration item (from the Sale-A-Bration catalog) and there is no limit to how many you can earn!  Each hostess who has a party that totals $250 or more, earns an additional $25 in hostess rewards (that's at least $50 of free products) and each person who purchases a Starter Kit will only pay $99 for $155 in products (and pay no shipping costs).  
 
There still is time - but don't delay in earning the benefits of Sale-A-Bration - the last day is March 31.
