New Catalog Kick Off

This weekend I officially introduced the new catalog to some of my hostesses and customers from the past year.

My husband took the kids out for the afternoon both Saturday and Sunday, so that I could have the run of the house. Although, I could have used him to man the grill on Saturday! (I made lunch for my 1st Annual Hostess Cookout) He does most of the grilling in the house, so needless to say my burgers were a little overcooked..LOL!

Besides overcooked Burgers, everything went very well, and I am very tired! : ) Everyone received FREE catalogs and a couple other gifts from me. I wanted everyone to have samples of the new In-Colors, so I made little sample packs tied together with ribbon and added a tag made with a 20th Anniversary Embosslit in the Big Shot. The basket in the back was also a “Big Shot” project. I used the Baskets and Blooms Die that I just had to have, and created little baskets with Stampin’ Up! Maine Blueberry Paper. Each little basket contained a little stamp and was given to everyone who placed an order that day.

My entire house was filled with swaps from convention. This was the display on my dinning room hutch. I had so much fun lining up all the swaps around the room. I wish I could decorate with my swaps all the time.  Maybe when the kids get a little older!

Of course there were Make-N-Takes! Sunday all of my wonderful customers made an In-Color Calendar Bookmark, to use with their new catalog.

On Saturday, my hostesses made the mini- scrapbook that I made at Convention. You can view the scrapbook in the post below (Convention Make-N-Takes). I willl be posting more about Convention real soon. I don’t have all my pictures yet. My wonderful friend Gwynne offered to take everyone’s pictures and put them on a CD for each person who went to Convention in our group. I realized after I came home that I didn’t have any pictures from Day 2 and 3! After I see her next week I will have a lot more pictures to show you. I promise!

Everyone loved the new catalog. It seems like each one gets better and better! If you would like you very own copy of this catalog, contact me at jenfoley@inkspiredcreations.com

Happy Stamping!
