Karen Stamps a Lot

This Opportunity could be for YOU

I will be having an Opportunity Night on Tuesday, October 18 beginning at 6:30. It will be at my regular class location and last about an hour - Community Bank North located on the NW corner of Hwy 24 and Rochester Road...in front of the Dillons, across from Sonic. You can come by yourself or bring a friend or spouse. I will have a short presentation and then address any questions or concerns I will explain my role if you join under me and all of the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and why now is a great time to consider having your own business.

I am not going to try to talk you into anything - I am really not a arm-twister. I will offer information and the opportunity. The rest is up to you! So put it on your calendar and let's talk! PLUS, after I planned to have this presentation I found out that this month there is a recruiting special. Get a Stampin' Up! Big Shot for free when you sign up to become a demonstrator in October.

 

a cool BIG SHOT offer

I woke up this morning and forgot the it was October 1 and that there might be a new SPECIAL from Stampin Up. I happened to checkmy emails and saw this announcement. How COOL is that? I can hardly make a card anymore without using my Big Shot. I got one right after it was introduced in 2008 and it was one of the best investments I have made in my business and now, if you become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, you can get one for FREE. Already have one? You can choose up to $100 in other Stampin' Up! products - you could choose some exclusive dies, embossing folders, coordinating stamp sets...whatever you want!Don't wait...get in on this great offer now. The sooner you become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator the sooner you will start to make a profit.
I will be announcing an Opportunity Night in the next few days. Come to it and I will answer all of your questions and work through the numbers and show you why now is the perfect time to jump on in. Anytime is a good, but getting a Big Shot or other Stampin Up products in addition to the rest of the starter kit makes now the time to look at this business opportunity and see if it is a fit for you. Contact me if you want to visit or receive information about the Opportunity Night when I have a date set.

 

$99 starter kit offer is coming to a close...

This special offer will be expiring Sunday July 31. Are you going to take advantage of this great deal? Stampin' Up! just released a new catalog and it is an exciting time to be a demonstrator...we get to see lots of new products and ideas, our customers get excited about getting to see what is new, too. It can be kind of a fresh start, so part of my "New Years resolution" is to make goals for myself and formulate a sort of mission statement of why I am doing this and where I want to steer my business.

Stampin' Up! has really made some great changes in the rewards that demonstrators can earn for their sales and recruiting. Now, I have never been much on recruiting...I don't know why really, I love Stampin' Up! - the products, the company, the people I have interacted with - all great. Lately, I have become a lot more focused on becoming PROFITABLE and I am getting more comfortable with the idea of having an business downline that I can assist if they have similar goals. I have had a few customers sign up under me and for the most part, they have wanted to just be able to purchase products and get the discount. That is great. That is what I started out to do, too, over 9 years ago. Now, I know that this is a business I can have control over...having fun, sharing what we love and loving what we do and getting paid for it, too!

Plus as a bonus, you will receive a special Christmas Keepsake Box Kit. Clic on the picture to see what you will receive.

it's not too early....

One of the great things about being a demonstrator, we get to see (and order) some of the new items from upcoming mini catalogs. I know it is only July, but September 1, the Holiday Mini will be out and while you may think that Christmas is the "holiday" being referred to, this mini will also have fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving ideas and products in it. NOW, Spetember will be when you want to get going on some special, fun Holiday projects!

Since my kids are older, I am not as into Halloween as I once was...we never really went for the really scarey stuff, but I have always thought that it was fun to come up with creative costumes and treats. We live out in the country, so we never had kids coming to our door, but my mom did, so we always went there. She still lives in the same house I grew up in and several of the same neighbors are still around, so it was a time for me to be able to say "Hi!" and catch up a little bit on their kids, etc...

I really want to jumpstart my Stampin Up schedule once we are back from our scuba trip and things get back into a regular routine. Summer always seems to throuw things off for everyone - must be all of extra daylight! I would love to have a workshop together and do some fun fall projects for you and your friends. Don't know what is involved in having a workshop? Here is some information and answers to some of the questions you may have about it.

My card for the MOJO Monday 200

Here is my card from last weeks color challenge that I got from Splitcoaststampers - Rich Razzelberry, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo. I combined it with the Mojo 200 sketch from yesterday. I used the Summer Mini Hostess set, Love & Care plus a new set Field Flowers...I actually used the sentiment thinking that it was from the Love & Care set - doesn't matter, I still really like it. 
  It was a little hard for me to use three bright colors on a flower card. I will edit this post with the supplies I used later. It is after midnight and I have to finish up cutting some corn for the freezer. YUM!

Anyway, have a good week! 

***I just looked at other entries and they are really great! There is one very similar to mine, I swear I did not go off of it...great minds think alike!

My reason for doing this...

I am taking a "business class" that includes evaluating what I want to do with my Stampin Up!business and why. I have been thinking about my goals and trying to be specific. It got me thinking about why I started doing this to begin with - I have to say that it was two-fold. First, I wanted to get into scrapbooking and had to start somewhere. I saw so much potential with stamps and ink, especially for backgrounds. I really like to look at a scrapbook page in a magazine then figure out how I could duplicate it with stamps, paper and ink..

Second, I like showing other people how to do the same thing. I have been doing it more with cards than scrapbook pages because it just seems easier to appeal to everyones taste. Scrapbooking is so personalized and pictures are in every color and TO ME it is a challenge to come up with something everyone can use or like. Everyone can use cards, so that is what I do.

So what is my goal? Well, I am going to come up with several, but the first one is to DO MORE SCRAPBOOKING! I have tons of photos that are sorted basically by family members and now have a grandson that has to be featured!I have everything I need and just need to make the time.

I am going to set aside a few hours a week and complete at least 2 pages each and every week. Heck, that would be over 100 pages in a year! I will share my first two pages on the 16th! How is that for comittment.

That's it for now, I will close with a fun photo of my little guy...Close to a year ago, hard to believe

Here is the little guy now (well, in May). He is such a happy boy!

 What is a goal that you'd like to set?...something you have the best intentions of doing, but just never get around to it.

Peace...
