2017 OCCASIONS & SALE-A-BRATION CATALOGUES SNEAK PEEK #1 …

Attending On Stage Live, in Brisbane, was amazing …. it is really one of the sensational extra benefits of being a demonstrator.

Even more exciting than seeing the upcoming Occasions and Sale-a-brations Catalogues and being able to see and play with lots of the new products [drumroll] as an attending demonstrator, I was able to place a premium pre-order and it arrived just in time for a weekend of crafting bliss.

… and there was treasure inside this brown box … make sure you contact me if you would like your own copies of these catalogues! Make sure you see my earlier post about how you can make your Christmas wishlist appear under the tree!

My first project used the must have Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies. I have not used any of the coordinating products just existing windowsheet, DSP paper stacks, cardstock, inks and Balloon Bouquet Punch in matching colours … just one new product.

Very soon I will be posting details of my Occasions & Sale-a-bration 2017 Launch Event … you will be able to attend in person or by post … check in later for details.
