May-August Stampin' Up! Catalog Paper Share

 Who is ready for the new Stampin' Up! catalog that will be hitting your mailbox very soon. And also who is ready for a Paper Share?!! There are some beautiful papers being offered in the May-August Catalog and I have a few that I can share with you that I was able to order in my pre-order. While I didn't get all of the papers, here is a small preview.

Waterside Retreat

Valley in Bloom

Moonlit Flora

Velvet Meadow

Scenic Coast

Here are the DETAILS:

Papers being offered:

• Paper Medley
• Artisan Sketched
• Waterside Retreat
• Beautiful Ordinary Life
• Valley in Bloom
• Bloom Boutique
• Velvet Meadow
• Scenic Coast
• Moonlit Flora

The whole idea of a Paper Share is that a group of 8 of us agree to share the cost of the papers and receive a share of them all.  The papers will come to you cut into 6" x 6" squares, you will receive 54 Shares. 

The cost is just $20 per person plus postage for me to mail it to you. Right now all I am doing is taking names, once I have 8 names then I will contact those of you who have signed up and have you send me your check. So let me know if you are in, this is a great deal!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Cindy

Saturday Spotlight Stamper - Linda Jachimstal

 My spotlight stamper this week is Linda Jachimstal, Linda sent me 38 Veteran Thank You cards to add to the Veteran Thank You Honor Flight Cards that I am sponsoring. Her cards are just lovely and show just how much she cares about our Veterans.

Here is the highlight of her cards:

They turned out just great and I am so honored that she made them and then sent them to me. The cards have been added to my collection of cards and we now have 502 cards! If you would like to get in on the fun, you have until June 1st deadline.

Veteran Thank You Cards Guidelines:

• Red/White Blue colors (Either in Cardstock, Design or Ink)
• White piece of paper on the inside (for messages that they will write), We don't write the messages.
• Does not have to be all Stampin' Up!
• Clean & simple is great!
• No Envelopes

Contact me for my address if you have to send the cards to me, if you are local we can make arrangements to meet up. Thanks so much~!

Take care, have a great week.

Cindy
