Introducing Framelits for the Big Shot ...

Stampin' Up! recently introduced two Framelits Dies to their ever-growing line of accessories for the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine ... Hearts Collection and Labels Collection (see page 6 of 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog).

"Hostess Club" starting soon ...

Would you like to get together once a month with other stampers for a fun evening of stamping and assorted papercrafts AND build your collection of Stampin' Up! product a little at a time?  If your answer is "yes," then my new "Hostess Club" is for you!

By joining this "Hostess Club," you agree to spend $25 (plus shipping & tax) with me each month over a period of 6 months.  Once during that 6 month period you will be the "Hostess," providing the evening's refreshments and receiving ALL hostess benefits.  Host your own workshop during your host month and those sales could be added to the club order for even MORE benefits for YOU!

This "Hostess Club" will meet in my home on the 4th Thursday of each month at 7p.  Each member will get to "make & take" as many as three items, depending on project complexity (jumbo paperclip bookmark card pictured is one of this month's projects).  I'll supply all the materials, you just bring your favorite adhesive.

The first "Hostess Club" meeting is on January 26th.  Space is limited to six so your quick response to me at padrybala@fuse.net is recommended, by January 15th at the latest, please.  If more than six are interested, or if you need to meet on a night other than the 4th Thursday, I'll add your name to the list for a possible second club.  Come join the fun!
