       April 2012

Spring is all about the joy of new beginnings and growth.

This spring, one of our newest Stampin’ Up Tools has been growing like crazy!  My customers cannot stop talking about theSimply Scored scoring tool and the newest addition of the Diagonal Plate is making it even more popular!  We have been using the Simply Scored in my classes for a couple of months now, but now with the Diagonal Plate the girls are loving being able to make their own envelopes, boxes and more!

I have lots of stuff to tell you about this month- so let’s get started!

1.  April means a new Stampin’ Up! Promotion- Summer Smooches!  This promo has some great new products that are only available April 1-30th, so get them while they are here!  I have posted  a color flyer on my blog under catalogs tab for your  review.   Here is an overview:
