It's All Their Fault.

You can see that I haven't posted every day this week, and not only that, I haven't posted a new project using the Think Happy set, as I promised on Monday. In fact, this is the only week I haven't posted every day.

And do you know why? 

Because I love my stampin' family. That's why.

As demonstrators, we get sneak peeks at new products and publications. My recruits and I have been able to drool and order from the new holiday catalog for weeks now. I got all my goodies, and I wanted to see what others had ordered and share project ideas. I decided to host a Premiere Night in my craft room for everyone, including my Stampin’ Up! mom, Jessica. I wanted it to be special and fancy.  

We would have champagne and everything. Lah DEE Dahhh!

Well, that took over my life this week. That and getting the kiddos ready for school next week, getting myself back to school (I had some syllabus work and interviews to perform). So, I didn’t get it done.

And I’m sorry. 

But here they are, my fabulous stamping family:

Look at those happy faces. They're not sorry for you at all! 

If you want to have this kind of joy (and champagne) you can, too! Just click HERE!

However, the perks for you are that I get to share the projects we made using the NEW, UNRELEASED products from the new catalog!

Let's start with Halloween:

Cute, right? But check out the house. It's a set that has decorations for all kinds of occasions! I show off the bats, ghost and pumpkin on this one, but there are also decorations for Christmas, Thanksgiving, a new home, etc. It's super cute and versatile. LOVE this one.

Ok, on to fall . . .

I love the sentiment here, but I also love the wreath stamp and coordinating framelit right behind it. Don't worry, there will be lots more projects using this stamp coming soon.

Yes, this is a box, but not just ANY box; this is a box you will be able to make with (wait for it . . .)
your very own BOX PUNCH BOARD! WHOO HOO!

And of course there are fabulous stamps for fall. Oh, and did you see that cute wooden accessory? Super fun.

 Finally, Christmas!

Remember that wreath in the first project? We used it again here. Wreaths can be all kinds of colors, right? 

And those shimmery parts? Those cute adornments that will appear in the new catalog, too.

So, I know I slacked this week, and I'm sorry, but I hope these projects help to make up for it. I promise to be back up and running Monday morning. 

And don't forget to hug your family (even and especially your stampin' family). I am so glad I was able to spend time with them last night. I would be far less joyful without them.

Thanks, friends,

Alison
