Regional Conference at Stampin' Up's Home Office

I returned from the Stampin' Up Regional Conference in Riverton, Utah very late on Sunday night.  I've been very tired but happy to have experienced such a wonderful day of great WOW presentations, doing make 'n takes with new products and seeing the brand new 2013-2014 Stampin' Up Annual Catalog. 

I can't wait to share with you all the new products that are in store for you this year.  There are wonderful new embellishments, ribbons, punches, framelits not to mention Stamps!!!  I have to wait though.  I signed an agreement to wait until June 1st to show you the actual products. 

I can however, post projects made with the new products.  I'll post them as soon as I can so that you can be inspired.  This promises to be a great year of opportunity to be inspired and inspire others with projects made with all the new products. 

Watch for new posts featuring projects made with the new products until the new Annual Catalog becomes effective on June 1st!

Until next time, happy stampin' and scrappin'!
