Greetings!
I just love spring, don't you? The weather starts getting warmer, the days longer, the flowers and trees start blooming and turning green and it makes me happy! If you are excited about spring, you are probably getting excited for Easter, too. Thinking about the Easter Bunny hopping into town puts me in the mood to pull out my Soft Subtle and Bold Bright colors and make adorable bunny and beautiful flower cards and treats for my family and friends. Easter is coming and you are in luck! Stampin' Up! just announced a pre-release of adorable new Easter and spring-themed stamp sets from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog 2009.
Eight Great Greetings is just that - great greetings for all the special occasions from Easter through summer, and for the first time you can purchase this stamp set in English, French, or Spanish! The fun Easter stamp sets and a terrific Stampin' Around wheel are perfect for cards, scrapbook pages, treats, and decorations to bring extra color and joy to spring and your Easter celebration.
These newly released stamp sets are going to be very popular, so contact me today to be among the first to get these great spring and Easter sets and all the supplies you need to share the warmth of spring with beautiful heartfelt cards and gifts!
Happy Stamping!

| | Q & A Spring Decorating
Q: Do you have any creative ideas on how to decorate for Spring & Easter?
A: Yes! Spring is here and it's a great time to hide away the snowmen and snowflakes and let flowers and color bloom all around you! Use one of the new stamp sets like Wagon Full of Fun (113262) or An Egg-cellent Easter (113196) and the coordinating Stampin' Around Wheel Egg Hunt (113833) with one of the following Designer Series papers - Tea Party (113992), Washington Apple (112461) or Rainbow Sherbet (112471) for a colorful addition to your party table. For a sophisticated style, try the Parisian Breeze (113993), Bella Bleu (113974) or Bella Birds (113981) Designer Series Papers.
Tablescapes
Add some excitement to your Easter brunch by creating place tags, centerpieces, votives, and napkin rings using a beautiful patterned paper, card stock, accessories, and stamps.
Garlands
Add decoration to other areas of your home with stamped images to coordinate. Create a garland across a hutch, window, or doorway by suspending stamped images from beautiful ribbon. The egg from Wagon Full of Fun would be perfect!
Treat Baskets
Create small treat baskets filled with wrapped candies or other small goodies and display them in a large basket by the door, then present one to each of your guests when they head home for a sweet ending to a special day.
Floral Centerpiece
Also, try adding stamped and die-cut accents to a floral centerpiece. Use the Big Shot to die cut flower or butterfly shapes (114507) then attach them to floral stems or bamboo skewers along with accents from Flower Fusion (112006) or the Pretties Kit (109114). A few accents will transform a bouquet from pretty to stunning!
Let me show you and your friends some projects at your next gathering or "spring"-board the above ideas into more great ideas of your own. You'll have a home filled with heartfelt treats and decorations to bring warmth and beauty to your Easter and spring.
