Most Epic Hide & Seek by Project Life by Stampin Up

  10641298_10152588233842512_6504060096464236686_n Project Life by Stampin Up See these boxes? We've handed them out to Stampin’ Up! demonstrators across ALL 50 STATES and EIGHT CANADIAN PROVINCES! At 2:00 pm (MT) the boxes will be hiding out there, somewhere, waiting for you to find them! From Becky Higgins: Feeling like today should be an awesome Thursday? We sure do! Most of you know that we’ve been doing something pretty fun with our customers for a while now. On social media it’s called #BHhideandseek. Once in a while (sometimes twice a week), we arrange to have a Project Life Core Kit placed in a random place, in a random location. Then I announce the specific location on social media and someone goes and claims the prize! It’s seriously so fun, and just one small way we love to engage with our customers and also give back. We love you guys. You know that. Today we’re announcing an adventure of epic proportions! We’ve been working behind the scenes with our friends at Stampin’ Up! for months to bring you a Hide + Seek event like nothing we’ve done before! As part of my experience at the Stampin’ Up! Annual Convention in July, I spent time signing rows and rows of Project Life® by Stampin’ Up!® kits that were also signed by Shelli Gardner – Founder and CEO of Stampin’ Up! These kits were then sent home with an excited bunch of demonstrators from the U.S. and Canada that were randomly selected to be a part of this super fun event! Each of these demonstrators was given the task of selecting a location near their hometown to hide the kit, they were given a day and time for the “drop” to be made, and here we are with a list of all the locations – by state and province – of where these kits are hiding out right now (4:00 PM Eastern / 1:00 PM Pacific)!! Will you be the lucky one to reach the destination in time and score a free kit? If you do find one of these 58 kits, we’d love to see you share a photo on Facebook and/or Instagram! Make sure to tag @beckyhigginsllc, @stampinup, and use the hashtag #PLxSUHideandSeek. GOOD LUCK!
