in 2016, Canada, Card Class, Cards, Class, club, demonstratrice Ontario, démonstratrice Québec, hostess benefits, hostess gift, Kim Assaly, Occasion catalogue, Occasion mini, sale, Sale-A-Bration, special, Stampin' Up!, stampinup, Valentine's Day, workshop on 01/04/16

I hope your holidays were exciting and that you were surrounded by friends and family… We had an amazing time. The holidays went by like a blink of an eye. We all got a little too spoiled.  If you are one of my followers on instagram (simply_kim3k) you would have read that I’m creating a vision board for what I want to experience in 2016.  In the past, I’ve visualized to obtain different goals.  It’s always worked. So 2016 will be a year to refocus on goals, dreams and wishes… I can’t wait to share in the next couple of months if I was successful.  2015 was wonderful!!! Lots better than the last couple of years. I’m wishing that 2016 will be even better.  Here’s to another year of unpredictable moments that will soon turn into beautiful memories.  Here is to growing older, wiser and stronger than ever before.  Grateful to be alive. Beyond thankful to have all of you.  Life is what you make of it! I am proud of who I am, what I’ve accomplished and who I have part of my life.  Even if you are a reason, season, lifetime, I have met some phenomenal, amazing and breathtaking people that I will cherish forever.  Many have come and gone but there are a selected few that chose to stay longer.  Thank you for making my life so beautiful and special.  Here is to another amazing year! Happy New Year and Happy stamping!!!

January 5th is an exciting date… The new Occasions catalogue is finally Live!! and it’s Sale-a-bration time  !!!

What is Sale-a-bration?

There are 3 ways to earn FREE products:

1:  Shop!

Here’s the deal: for every $60 you spend (before tax and shipping), you get a FREE Sale-A-Bration product. That means it’s the perfect time to purchase those products you’ve had your eye on while earning more products for free.

Note: Pages 4-15 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure show products available throughout the entire Sale-A-Bration sales period (January 5-March 31 2016); Pages 16-19 show limited-time products available only until February 15.* Watch for another batch of limited-time products coming February 16!
*Based on inventory, availability may be temporarily extended.

2:  Host!

Need another excuse to get together with friends? Just host a qualifying party with at least $330 in sales during Sale-A-Bration and you’ll earn $35 more in Stampin’ Rewards! You can even apply your Stampin’ Rewards toward a Starter Kit and become a demonstrator yourself!

So no better time to place your order, book a party or join my team of demonstrators.  Email me now!

I’ve started playing with my new goodies from the occasions catalogue.  Here’s my 5 minute card.

I love the “love blossoms embellishment kit” #140551.  Especially those bow paper clips… The embellishment kit includes pink satin ribbon, pearl trim, sequins, wood veneer pieces, glitter dots and foil heart doilies…  Pretty much everything I love, my style of crafting products…

Here’s a close up of those cute pre-tied bows!

Lots of amazing, glittery embellishments.

If you wish to get a copy of the catalogue, email me or view it online on my online store.

SHOP HERE for the products to create a version of this project.  See the list of products below.
