Sally Millians: Newstalgia Stamping: Happy "Stamp-a-versary" to me! Delicate Desert with VIDEO

Today marks the 5th anniversary of becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! I started this adventure solely to become a discount shopper, though I always felt guilty for getting such landslide of products in my "starter kit." I kept thinking, "there has to be a catch." And in all honestly, there IS a catch. The catch is....continued discounts and perks for items I would have purchased anyway! I was also preparing for my retirement and wanted to eventually hold workshops like my upline Kathy had done so successfully for many years. I now hold workshops occasionally, but not as much as I had hoped. COVID gave us all a new normal to navigate and learn by trial and error. I have made a valiant effort to do written and video tutorials, but WOW, they are difficult and come with HUGE learning curve for this antique mind to manage. Kids nowadays learn computers from day one of school; I never even learned how to type! If you saw me now typing on this computer, you would get a good laugh. I am self taught and I use the term "taught" loosely.

My most recent project comes from the beautiful Delicate Desert Suite. Did it speak to you in the new January 2023 mini catalog? It is on page 42 I believe. Check it out! It is so versatile and simple to use. Here are a few examples of cards I have made just this week.

If you read my bio, you will see that I love to use previously purchased (retired) products along with new products. The Stampin' Up! products are made at such a high quality that they do not deserve to sit on a shelf. When I consider purchasing a new stamp set or Designer's Series Paper (DSP) I always think about what I already have that I can use it with. If the answer is "nothing" then I weigh the option of buying something completely unique or deciding not to add it to my stash.

Here is a video I attempted that will show a little bit about using the suite!

I hope you will consider ordering from my on-line store if you need any of the products listed or any other Stampin' Up! items you may want. Remember, we have a new catalog coming out in May 2023 which will offer a whole new line of In Colors as well as the highly anticipated Color Refresh for the next 5 years. I can't wait to see the many new suites and stamp sets plus the countless examples the design team has created.
