Join Bonnie Thurber, from Stampin' Up! Head Office, while she creates fun projects with new punches from Stampin' Up!
I just love the new punch style and I know you will too once you get your hands on them. The new design has a larger cutting surface and a sleeker body. The larger punch handle makes it possible to punch large and intricate images with ease. The slim design saves storage space. The punch can be stored flat or standing on either side or the bottom end.

One Kickin’ Party
This past weekend was my Sale-A-Bration (SAB) Kick-Off and we had a kickin' time!!! I really had so much fun!
We had 6 amazing and talented demonstrators who were part of our "Demonstrator Theatre". They each wow'd us with their amazing talent. Each booth hightlighted a set of products: Build a Bear, Cllng Stamps, Decor Elements, Chipboard, new punches & a make and take booth. Each attendee went from booth to booth to see the demonstrations. I heard so much great feedback on the demo theatre booths and really want to thank my amazing helpers! You ladies truly love what you do and it shows!
We had amazing samples shared on the share tables and in demo theatre! Alot of pictures were taken and tons of ideas shared!
We played a fun game of STAMPtionery. We had 2 teams, plus some very helpful easels! The ladies were given stamp set names and had to draw it while their teammate guessed. I allowed audience help and because I love to give out prizes BOTH teams won something!
AND more prizes…I gave away over $300 worth of prizes during the day. Our big draw was THE BIG SHOT and as you can see from the photos…this was a BIG deal! Congrats Michelle!
Lastly, the make and takes…we made 6 projects using the Sweet Pea Designer Series paper and Felt Pieces.
We have over 200 pictures of this event…if you're part of my team, you'll find the rest in our team gallery soon!
We've already started to plan for the next big event! You really need to join us! It's going to be a not-to-be-missed WEEKEND RETREAT in Westport, ON. Join us on the weekend of March 26th…find out more details at www.stampingirls.com

I love my new smart phone wallpaper!
It really doesn't take me much to make me happy!!! Stampin' Up! has been so wonderful at sharing wallpapers for us demonstrators to add to our cell phones…BUT for some reason none of them worked for my phone. They were either too bright or too busy…so, I decided to make my own using MY DIGITAL STUDIO. I can't describe just how much I love this program! You can do so much with it!
Here's what I created:
Quick Instructions:
-I started with an 8.5×11 page in my digital studio and added one of the papers from the new Sweet Pea Digital Kit. (I love this kit…it's by far my favourite so far!!!)
-I added the Stampin' Up! logo and the text at the top.
-I clicked on "share project" and exported it as a high resolution jpg.
-I opened the page in a paint program to darken the design as I found it too bright on my phone.
-I connected my phone to my computer and copied the picture from my computer to my picture folder on my phone.
-I then selected the photo and added it as a wallpaper.
Jo's Simple Tips:
-with my phone, I knew approx. where I wanted the design to be so that it didn't interfere with what was already on my screen.
-It took me about 3 times making small changes to the location of the design to make the layout fit with my phone.
-I didn't have to resize the jpeg as my phone made it the right size.
Here's what my new wallpaper looks like on my phone…don't you just love it?
