Lets face it, 2020 stunk!  I had 1 minor surgery, a couple of procedures and my knee replaced!  I had 21 family members that came down with COVID and thank God they all recovered.  And quarantining. How fun is that!

All that to say, I didn’t keep to my proposal of posting once a week.  Along with the above, I got stuck thinking that everything I posted had to be a video.  So DUH!

I have a new goal for 2021 that will probably actually be achievable!  I’m going to post one video a month starting in February and post at least one card idea with instructions.  The card idea is here.  Hope you enjoy it.

Moving on, – Have you seen the new Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration catalogs?  So many cute things and with something free for every $50 you spend, what’s not to like.  If you have friends that want to order, why not do it as a catalog party.  With an order of $150 or more, you get stamps, free stamps and cash to buy more stuff.  How fun is that!

Promotion for February:  Order $100 from me (either email me with details or order directly from jandufour.stampinup.net).  I will send you a packet of 6 x 6 retired DSP and a card that you can pass on, copy or kept.  Make sure you mark your order allowing me to see you, otherwise I won’t have your address.  Or you can email me with that info.  Your choice. It looks like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stampin’ Up! has some promotions going on too.

If you were a Stampin’ Up! fan back in 2017, you may remember the Hey Chick stamp set.  Of course it was retired.  Now it’s coming back as of 2 February.  And it has coordinating dies.  It also goes along with the new  Hey birthday Chick which also has dies.  They are cute, separate and together.

That’s all for now.  Take care, and thanks for not giving up on me!
