Oh what a night!! Last night was the Stampin Up Catalog Premiere Event - for the first time EVER Stampin Up broadcasted a Live from Long Beach, CA to almost 40 locations throughout the United States. 1 being my hometime of Marlboro, Massachusetts!! Since I usually have to travel hours to the closest event when SU comes around, you can imagine my excitement. We were so excited Mom and I painted our car windows, or in my case, my truck windows...because nothing says "Red Carpet" like a pick up truck with window paint. Or was that "Red Neck"??? I'm sure it's "Red Something" hahaha. It actually came out cool, my kids helped. My demonstrator group and friends all met at Olive Garden for a super fun dinner first. Hoping someone got a better picture than this one because there was so many of us, we didn't all fit in the picture.The second is me and my friend Selene Kempton at dinner. 2 of my gals were asked to do registration for the event and had to miss dinner, so we photobombed Marie Aviza and Teresa Howe while they were working the desk. They also go to hand out prizes and the new catalog at the end of the night. The event was AMAZING!! We got to see lots of techniques, new products and got a new stamp set along with the new Catalog!! Shelli Gardner (CEO and Co-Founder of Stampin Up) took the stage and she looked fabulous, she gave an update from her accident she says she feels great. MEET THE NEW STAMPIN UP CATALOG!!! Most of what was shown, we aren't allowed to share yet. Especially images, only the cover of the new catty. Here it is in all of it's glory!! Here is some news I shared live from the event on my Facebook Page in case you missed i:

• Blendabillities: The first 6 sets of the Stampin Up Blendabilities alcohol markers will be available to demonstrators may 1, and to customers June 1!
• New Fast Fuse adhesive. Think 'sticky strip' in an applicator like Snail adhesive. (both Snail and Sticky Strip adhesives are still available)

We are so so so excited to let you know we’ve partnered with the amazing Becky Higgins to bring you the real deal—authentic Project Life products, now in exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors and designs. If you’ve somehow missed the Project Life craze and are wondering what it’s all about, we’ll fill you in: it’s a super simple, totally affordable way to get your photos into albums: you just slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and add designed cards. It’s a back-to-basics approach to documenting your life. In a nutshell, it’s all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them.

You’ll be able to order a selection of Project Life products starting May 1! And with the launch of our new annual catalog on June 2, you’ll be able to buy from our complete line of Project Life products.

Can’t wait that long? Stampin’ Up! demonstrators will be able to order the limited selection starting April 21. So if you’re a demonstrator make sure to check the demonstrator website that day; if you’re not a demonstrator, sign up and you can order the products early too! Click here for details on joining >
