DSP blog hop

Stampin' Up! have a fabulous DSP (designer series paper) special this month which is especially perfect as May 1 (today) is National Scrapbooking Day!

Throughout May, purchase three packs of DSP* and get a fourth one FREE!

Or join as a demonstrator and get FREE DSP every month for the rest of 2012 including yet to be released packs!

With such an amazing paper special, I have joined with some lovely ladies as part of the Art with Heart Stampin Up Team and we have put together a scrapbooking blog hop to showcase the DSP packs.

My layout today is of course showcasing one of my kiddos. Note to self, must do some my layouts of myself/hubby/us...

Have you ever wanted to join a team of stampers and scrapbookers who communicate and share online and in person at stamping events? I am a member of a team that is spread far and wide all over Australia and we love having new people join our team. Beginning today, it is only $169 to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and you can now choose anything you like to go in your kit! Feel free to contact me anytime and I am more than happy to answer any questions you have.

Are you my next mystery hostess?

Stampin’ Up! are holding a book-a-thon at the moment challenging us to hold 6,000 workshops in the week of November 1 - 8.  With the book-a-thon in mind, I have scheduled a mystery hostess workshop. Join me at my home in Skye (contact me for the address) for free make and take projects, good conversation and refreshments on November 6^th from 1pm.   

If you never heard of a mystery hostess workshop before, it’s a great way for customers to earn FREE product. Hostess benefits are awarded in the form of a draw, hence the name, Mystery Hostess.

How it works:
For each $50* spent (excluding P & H), you will receive a ticket into the draw, spend $100 and get 2 tickets etc. To receive bonus tickets, bring a friend who is not on my mailing list (earn 1 bonus ticket) or book a workshop to be held in December – February (earn 3 bonus tickets).

About the Hostess Benefits:
We have a new hostess program, and you can use your hostess dollars to purchase exclusive hostess items and/or any item from the catalogue. For example, if orders reach $600, I will draw 3 tickets (prices will be 2 x $50 and 1 x ½ price item.)

RSVP by October 31^st

Will you be my next mystery hostess?
