My order is here! Actually it arrived on Thursday, but I have been so busy playing and preparing for my open houses that I haven’t stopped. Do you want to see what is inside?

The SIZZIX BIG SHOT!!!

That’s Right! Starting September 2nd you will be able to purchase this product from ME!  YEAH! This was announced at Convention. You should have heard 6,000 demonstrators screaming at the top of their lungs and jumping up and down! We have been waiting for something like this for a long time. I personally don’t buy anything that is not Stampin’ Up! I always thought the die-cuts and embossing folders were really cool, but if I can’t endorse it I don’t buy it. Now I can!!

There will also be a selection of Stampin’ Up! exclusive dies that will create amazing 3D projects and coordinate with some of our stamp sets! I hope you will be excited as I am. I purchased the starter kit (I will share specifics another day) and a few extra items to play with as well.

As soon as I opened the box, my girls were ready and willing to start playing with mommy’s new toy! My girls are 7 and 5, so I thought I would try showing them how to use it and see just how easy this thing is to use. Well, they had a great time and so did I! The Big Shot is so easy to use, I couldn’t believe it. I am also an Occupational Therapist and most of my former patients suffering from arthritis or Carpal Tunnel can’t use other Die-Cut machines, but the Big Shot is definitely something I would recommend for them!

I did pick up a few other goodies as well. A new scallop square punch, glassy glaze embossing powder, love notes, a new wheel for Halloween (wait until you see what I plan to do with that), and two hostess sets. One of the good things about getting a Big Shot and Dies from SU! is the FREE Hostess Products you get along with it!

I also ordered the supplies I need to finish my Sister-In-Law’s wedding invitations. I am making 140 pocketfold invitations. I am really excited and can’t wait to show them to you. After both open houses I will post some pictures of the invitation so you can tell me what you think.

I’ll be back to stamping soon. I can’t wait to really dig into all of my new products. Have you seen the new catalog yet? If not contact me at jenfoley@inkspiredcreations.com and I can send one to you. There is so much to see!

Happy Stamping!
