Can you believe it????? It is almost here!!!!!!! My FAVORITE Stampin’ Up! time of year will start tomorrow and run through March 31!!!!!!

“What is she talking about?” I hear you ask. Why it is Sale-a-bration, of course!

What is Sale-a-bration? Sale-a-bration is the time to earn FREE things for every $50 of Stampin’ Up! merchandise you purchase!!! I just LOVE getting things for FREE!!!! This year Stampin’ Up! has outdone themselves in the Sale-a-bration choices. During Sale-a-bration I always stock up on Card Stock. This year I will be adding ribbon and brads also because I am using a lot more than I used to. I also stock up on adhesives: Snail refills, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and of course, Sticky Strip and Mini Glue Dots. I might as well get some FREE things for supplies I will be buying anyway.

Here is a card I made with the Digital Sale-a-bration CD and My Digital Studio.

The MDS paper is Everyday Enchantment. The MDS stamps are Elementary Elegance. The MDS ribbon and brads are from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbons and Brads. All of these are like the ones in “Real Life” except the stamps are a LOT larger. I reduced their size a LOT!

There are THREE additional ways you can get even MORE FREE things during Sale-a-bration.

1. Invite your friends over for a Stampin’ Up! Make and Take Party. I will provide 1-2 items for each of you to make that night. If you and your friends place orders totaling $150 or more you will get an exclusive, beautiful, reusable shopping bag plus the normal $25 Hostess Dollars to spend on any products in the catalog including the exclusive Hostess items. If you and your friends place orders totaling $400 or more, you will get an exclusive Sale-a-bration Bundle of 3 coordinating items, plus the regular Hostess Rewards of $65 Hostess Dollars AND 1 item at 50% off! How would you like to get a Big Shot or XL Bigz die for 50% off!!!!! If you live in the Sierra Vista, Arizona area and want to receive these great benefits, please contact me about having your own Make and Take Party!
2. Have you been thinking of joining Stampin’ Up? Now is a great time to join. The Starter Kit is only $125 (regular $175)! You can choose the Standard or Digital Starter Kit which both have some items you can customize to your choices (or as was my case, so I didn’t duplicate anything I already had). You can still enhance your kits with the optional add-ons if you would like to. Everything is included to help you get your business off to a great start! I will be there to help you! (For more information, see the “Join My Team” page on my blog. If you do join Stampin’ Up! during Sale-a-bration, you will get either a package of Designer Series Paper OR a digital download for FREE every month you place an order in 2012!!
3. After you have joined Stampin’ Up! you will be so excited you will want to share it with others. For your First Recruit you will receive a Sneak Peek Bundle of new products! For your 2nd – 9th Recruits you will get to choose any catalog product up to $39.95. (Just think of all the Big Shot dies and the more expensive stamp sets you can get for FREE!!!)
