Love Hearts and News!

So many things to share today! First of all, Sale-A-Bration starts on Tuesday January 24th!! Check back here on Tuesday to see all the details and a scrapbook page I designed using free Sale-A-Bration product!

This past week Stampin' Up! held their annual Leadership down in San Antonio, Texas. One of these years I will get there! But this year Stampin' Up! shared news and pictures and more on their Facebook Page about this event it was almost like being there. And there were a lot of really exciting announcements made!

On February 1 Stampin' Up! will be releasing a FREE 30-day trial version of My Digital Studio Express! I love My Digital Studio and would love to share what you can do with it. I will share more details about this fabulous freebie when I hear more! While you wait why don't we get together and see what My Digital Studio is all about? Contact me to set up a date!

A new product! The Simply Scored Diagonal Plate will be available March 1! It will be perfect for scoring envelopes, boxes and more. Note this is not a video about the Diagonal Plate, but really funny to watch as Stampin' Up! employees do a happy dance to celebrate a new product: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3106806678813

And finally upcoming changes to our catalogues! The current catalogue will be ending on May 31, 2012 instead of the end of June. This year there will be no Summer Mini Catalogue. A new yearly catalogue will start June 1, 2012 and then in August there will be a Holiday Catalogue and a Spring Catalogue in January 2013. That means preorder comes early this year! Oh I can't wait to see the new In Colors and new stamps!

So back to my card. I demonstrated this card a workshop this past Monday. A nice simple card for Valentine's Day. The dotted heart is stamped onto the top note die, then I cut out the Cherry Cobbler heart and glued it in the center of the dotted heart. After stamping the greeting, you wrap a piece of 1-1/4" grosgrain ribbon around the card, then place a stamped and cut out wood grain heart on a Stampin' Dimensional on the ribbon and lastly arrange 3 rhinestones on the left side of the card.
