Ok, here is the scoop.  I know a bunch of you out there are totally curious about the Holiday catalog coming out… and let me tell you, it is a good one this year, just ask my credit card company .  But while I wait for my preorder to arrive, I thought I would do one more post because I realized I took a lot of pictures of the new holiday products on the Convention Display boards but never actually posted most of them! So enjoy and imagine getting all your holiday crafting done BEFORE the craziness of the holidays has hit.  Wouldn’t that be awesome?!

Now – if you see something you love, you have a couple options:

1. Watch for your catalog to arrive in the next few weeks if you are one of my customers, and then get your wishlist started so you can shop Sept 1st when the catalog goes live
2. Host your own preview party!  I’ll have many of the items in the catalog and you can host a craft night for you and your friends at the end of this month or early next (online or in person) and I’ll plan projects for you to do or share using the newest fun stuff.  PLUS you’ll earn free credit to pick out some of the items to get for free!  How sweet is that?
3. BEST DEAL YET!  If you join my Fun n’ Crafty Stampers group anytime this month, you can get your favorites NOW!!  Pick out up to $125 in product from the Annual catalog OR ANYTHING in the Holiday Catalog to get for only $99, skip the shipping… and start playing next week.  Start shopping for your kit here.

Ok, with that, check out all the fun goodies:

There are super cute kits coming, from shaker cards to a set of gift tags!  I’ll be running classes on these for sure… so keep an eye out for those popping up on the schedule.

Plus lots of fun Halloween items:

Can I just say that I NEEDED this owl?  I don’t do Halloween items much but I knew it would be cute for treats, scrapbook pages, and even cards if I chose.  So, guess what was one of the first things on my preorder list?  Yup!  This guy!  Can’t wait for him to arrive.

And of course lots for fall:

And TONS of good stuff for Christmas and Winter time:

If you are someone who loves Project Life, there are some great new kits including the Hello December kit that is perfect for documenting your life and traditions through the month of December.  I made one last year and it was my favorite album yet and so I know I’ll be making another for this year!

And some items that are good for all seasons or even just tools for throughout the year:

You may not be able to tell, but that birch tree background is an embossing folder!!

There is a new punch that punches 2 different corners plus the straight slot!

And a pillow box thinlit too!

Plus almost all of these dies are available as part of a bundle where you can save 15% off the price of the die and coordinating stamp set.  Total score, right?!

And YES!  If you decide to pick up the starter kit, you can totally take advantage of those bundles and discount pricing so you can save even more!  Plus, once you’ve signed up by purchasing your starter kit, you’ll actually get 20% off all your future orders from the Holiday catalog too.  You know, just an FYI.

So what is your favorite?  See anything you can’t wait to make room for at home?
