Project of the Week: Tropical Party Scrapbook Page
September is almost here…which means there's only a few days left to order from the Summer Mini Catalogue. A lot of the products in this mini catalogue are gone after August 31st, so take a look and make sure there's not something on your wish list that you'd be missing out on.
This scrapbook page features two great products from the Summer Mini catalog: Island Oasis Designer Series Paper (117173) and Island Floral Bigz Die (118871), along with lots of Big Shot elements!

Happy Canada Day & Happy Stampin Up! New Year
Happy Canada Day! 
July 1st is an exciting day for Canadian stampers – the Canada Day holiday & the first day of the new Idea Book & Catalogue which means a brand NEW YEAR in Stampin' Up! world! Of course, this is a holiday just to read your catalogue, lol!
If you're looking to receive a new catalogue and don't have a demonstrator yet, email me and I'd be happy to hook you up!
The catalogue will go live online TODAY around 2pm, so check out my store this afternoon: www.stampingjo.com/store for all the wonderful NEW products!
You can also view the PDF version here
I was SO happy to see the Canada Day stamp set (W119889/C120042) in the Summer Mini when it came out. It's a great set for cards or invitations and scrapbooking like the page above. The fireworks are super versatile, and the single firecracker can quickly become a candle. I really like when you can look at a stamp set and see multiple ways to make it work for you.
To honour the new catalogue and our great nation, I paired up some new colours – Cherry Cobbler with Crumb Cake and a splash of Marina Mist! I am loving these new colours, they are so fresh and fun and really are helping to keep me inspired. Two other new products are featured here – the new 2 3/8 Scallop Circle Punch (118874) and Marina Mist 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon (119527). So many new goodies, and these are just the ones I could pre-order as a Stampin' Up demonstrator – just wait until I get my first shipment.
Speaking of being a demonstrator, there's a brand new starter kit in the catalogue – only $215 and lots of stamps, ink, paper and more! I'd love to have you join my team of INKredible Canadian Divas – which are hobby and business demonstrators – who all love to stamp.
The kit is a great deal regardless if you want to save or make money! AND best of all….with the new HST means that there is NO TAX OR SHIPPING ON THE KIT!!! At least there's one benefit to the new HST.

The cutest little board books ever!
The samples for today are using one of our On Board Books that will no longer be available starting in May. I absolutely LOVE these little board book…and I can't believe it took me until near the end of the Occasions Mini to figure that out. I made this book for a class we offered at our weekend retreat last month AND I also bought the books to make with 21 girls in our kids club at Church. They are super for kids and for adults!
AND when you partner these On Board Books with our Simply Scrappin' Kits, you'll find it so easy to create your project!
If you LOVE these too, make sure you order yours this month as they are not in the Summer Mini!
SPOILER ALERT: I have a Big Sale coming on Friday to celebrate my anniversary month!!
