Start your own Stampin’ Up! Business for  $150.

One of the beauties of being a Stampin’Up! Demonstrator is that you can do as much or as little as you like.  This is an ideal business for a young mum at home, for someone like myself who is retired, or just someone who wants a decent discount on their stamping/scrapping supplies.

I became a demonstrator so that I could get a discount on my paper crafting.  Once I began to show my friends the terrific products, they purchased them.  I then realised that this is really quite a good business and lots and lots of fun to boot!!!!

So, in celebration of National Scrapbooking Month, join Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator for only $150 with our limited-time Scrapbooking Starter Kit. The Scrapbooking Starter Kit contains the following:

*Substitutable for any stamp set up to $77.95 value.

Please note: Each of the products listed above may be substituted for like items.

The Scrapbooking Starter Kit also contains all the business supplies contained in the standard Starter Kit:

• Getting Started DVD
• Getting Started Guide
• Guest Invitation Postcards
• Idea Book & Catalogues
• Project Sample Sheet
• Customer Order Forms
• and other brochures

So if you would like to join my team, The Bent INK-linations, call or email me now and we will make a time to discuss how you can become a Stampin’Up! Demonstrator.  It’s loads of fun and you get to meet the nicest people.

I love, love, love roses!

Oh my goodness!   I’ve completely fallen in love with the new SU catalogue and the amazing new products and stamp sets.

Couldn’t wait to try out this stamp set called Fifth Avenue Floral.  It has the most amazing floral outline images.  Perfect for watercolouring.  I teamed this image up with Close to Cocoa and Kiwi Kiss.  (sounds like a desert!!!) and then added the gorgeous new kiwi kiss and very vanilla double sided satin ribbon.  Yummoooooo!  I’ll be using much more of this.

Hope you like this  creation.  I cased the template from Splitcoast and added my own touches.  Stay tuned for lots more new stuff as the creative juices begin to flow…………………….and flow……………..and flow!

All you experienced scrappers will be laughing right now! 

Those that know me, also know that I don’t scrap.  Well I’ve bent to pressure from my children and began to scrap the dreadful photos that I managed to take when they were babes.  This is my first attempt.  It’s not wonderful, but hey!  It’s a start and I’m quite enjoying it.

The photos aren’t good.  However, these three piccs show my gorgeous son Joe (who is now 30!) when he turned 2 in hospital with a broken tibia.  He was in a gallow traction for 6 weeks.  He’s not normally a patient person, but he was very patient during this hospitalization period and didn’t ever complain once.  Not once.  I’m so very proud of him then and now.

I’ve used lots of different products but the SU  I’ve used is the Loads of Love stamp set.  I love how SU stamp sets combined so beautifully with scrapping.  I also used the jumbo eyelets for the car wheels/tyres.

I hope you enjoy my first attempt, must away and see what else I can scrap.  There’s only four kids and 35 years worth to do!!!!!
