Got a WONDERFUL surprise this afternoon.  I was one of the demonstrators who qualified to receive an early copy of the 2010 – 2011 Idea Book and Catalog under a special program offered by Stampin’ Up! this spring.  I expected my catalog tomorrow afternoon based on the email I received, so you can imagine my response when I opened my front door this afternoon to head out the door and a large envelope fell into the house.  I nearly fell over myself!!

We’ve been given VERY clear and specific instructions about what we can and cannot share, and the basic message is that the catalog must be shared in person.  I can tell you that it’s beautiful, that there are many gorgeous new stamp sets and papers, and that the new Color Renovation has been carried out beautifully.  There are products and accessories for every color as well as “kits” of new products to fill in the gaps – for example, you can purchase markers in just the new colors to complete your set of Many Marvelous Markers.

As I have more time to go through this catalog I’ll try to include more insights.  It’s a wonderful catalog and we’ll all get a great deal of pleasure from this offering!
