Ready, Set, Sale-a-bration!

Hi there

Sale-a-bration is the once a year event when Stampin' Up! gives you the opportunity to choose FREE stamp sets. It starts TODAY, Monday 25 January and continues until 31 March 2010. For every $100 you spend (excluding postage) on Stampin' Up! products, you can choose one of 4 free stamp sets. There is no limit to how many stamp sets you can earn. You can click on this link to check out the stamps sets.

The card I have for you today uses an image from the 'Happy Moments' Sale-a-bration stamp set. This set has 4 images and 3 sentiments that cover a lot of life's happy moments. Three of the images lend themselves to colouring with Stampin' Write markers or Watercolour Wonder Crayons, which I have used. The sentiment is from the 'Vintage Labels' Sale-a-bration which is also a really flexible set. I have used the Mojo Monday sketch from Week #122 and turned it on its side. Here it is.

A Helping Hand for Haiti

You can help raise funds for the people of Haiti while enjoying your hobby. In the past, when terrorists attacked the Twin Towers, when a tsunami struck Indonesia, when a hurricane destroyed New Orleans, and when wildfires ravaged Australia, Stampin' Up! demonstrators stepped forward and showed their commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. This time is no different.

From now until 28 February, 2010, you can partner with Stampin' Up! to make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this devastating earthquake.

Stampin' Up! will set aside $2 from the sale of every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set and donate that money to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

This is a stamp set with wide application for cardmaking and scrapbooking. Here is a reminder of what it looks like:

Product Name	Item #	Price
