Happy Birthday America!
I hope you all celebrated July 4th with fun, family, friends and fireworks!  My family was a bit scattered this year, but we all seemed to have fun nonetheless.  My son & I spent the day walking all around Boston.  If you are ever in the Fan Pier area of Boston (along the Harborwalk), we highly recommend Mario Batali's restaurant Babbo.  It's a pizzeria that is truly delicious!  www.babbopizzeria.com.

I'm Still Taking Orders for the Designer Series Paper Shares (until July 17)
The new Designer Series Papers are beautiful!  You are going to love them and want them all.  To buy all 10 stacks would be $118, but I am offering a Paper Share so you can get a sampling of them at a quarter of the price.

Designer Series Paper Share
$34 (plus shipping if applicable)
This share will give you one sheet of every new pattern in the DSP packs.  64 sheets of 6" x 12" and 4 sheets 6" x 6" of the foil paper (you get 2 sheets each of the Christmas print).

Designer Series PLUS Paper Share
$46 (plus shipping if applicable)
This share will give you all of the above PLUS one 6" x 6" sheet (one of each design) of the 3 paper stacks (36) and 10 sheets of 6" x 12" new In Color Envelope paper.  

You can place your order directly with me, via email or at the Catalog Launch party. You may apply the BOGO sale to product shares.  

I will have actual papers for you to look at and touch at the Catalog Launch party.

Thank you All for your Encouragement!
Sometimes all it takes is a little push and confidence.  And it's always nice to have encouragement, support & cheerleaders behind that push.  Recently, I have been trying to put myself out there by applying for challenges.  And I have been rewarded three times!  I just wanted to say thank you and share my good news with you all:

1.  I will be an OnStage Display Board Stamper (again) this November in New Jersey.  Are you interested in coming to this awesome Stampin' Up! event?  All you have to do is join the Stampin' Up! family and then you can come with us.  I hope to have several of my team members join me.  Click here to see my submissions:  http://mailsomethingpretty.com/onstage-display-board-submissions/

2.  There is a great weekly design challenge called The Global Design Project (http://www.global-design-project.com.   This week my submission was chosen as a Special Mention.  Click here to see my design:  http://mailsomethingpretty.com/global-design-project-042/

3.  And lastly, I received a phone call a week ago from Stampin' Up! asking if they could use I statement I made (in a video I submitted to them) as one of the quotes on the back cover of the upcoming 2017 Occasions Catalog.  You can bet I said a huge YES (and thank you).  You will have to stay tuned until the Fall to get your own copy of the catalog and see what I said.

Be sure to check out my website at least once a week to see postings I make.  I encourage you to make comments, ask questions and copy what I do.  I try to give you all then information you need to make the same projects.  Be sure to bookmark me:  www.mailsomethingpretty.com.  And don't forget to like and comment on my Facebook page too!
