Stamp Time Somewhere

Turning Lemons into Lemonade

Are you a Stampin'Up! Demonstrator or a representative with another Direct Sales Company? Are you looking for inspiration and ideas to really work your business and to make money? I'd like to introduce you to Christine Northrup - The Lemon Aid Lady!

Christie Northrup teaches professionals in home party plan, direct sales, and network marketing how to TWIST Sour Sales Situations into Sweet Successes and Juicy Profits™. With nearly 30 years' sales and leadership experience, she has taught and inspired thousands of sales consultants as well as led nationally ranked, top-producing sales organizations. She is a certified "Train-the-Trainer."

Known worldwide as The Lemon Aid Lady™, Christie began her selling career at the young age of ten. But it was when she started working with a major direct-sales company - as a young mother - that her career blossomed. Beginning as a demonstrator, she worked her way to the top level of leadership. And while she and her family made several cross-country moves, she built huge customer bases in each city and held an average of six to eight parties a week while leading top, nationally-ranked teams.

Christie knows from experience that a successful party plan business is based on achieving more bookings, sales, and recruits. She shares the proven ideas she created and used throughout her career and in her family and personal life through books, audios, and presentations. She also consults direct sales and party plan companies on marketing and sales issues

 

Christine will be offering a great Class: PRESENTATIONS FOR PROFIT,
to be held on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 - over the phone! No travel or event registration fees...

I invite you to register for her class, as well as to browse her site for her newsletter, Free Reports and some of the BEST Direct Sales resources available. Her books and CDs are AMAZING! Definitely worth the investment. Her advice comes from someone who's DONE IT - not just talks it.

Why is it that?

When I finally get the oportunity to udate on the blog and then I can't find the camera cable? Then I finaly find it and the battery is dead...then I get on-line and my laptop freezes? Been having some bad blog luck lately.  As my 4 year old would say, "Ugh!"

I will keep trying

Still here - still stampin'

I'm still here, just a little busy. I have a stamping club meeting tonight and I promise I will take pictures. I actually have a few pics on my camera right now, but haven't uploaded and edited them yet. I have some really cute projects I've been working on for my friends baby shower this upcoming Saturday that I'll need to share too. Thanks for sticking around!

I have it!

In my very over protective little hands. The brand new Spring Summer 2009 Stampin'Up! Catalog. It is EXQUISITE! By FAR one of the best yet. A great selection of styles, awesome new accessories! Here are just a few of my musings....

(if you have your catalog, check these out. If you don't have it yet....be patient, you will soon)

Cover:
Great COlors! Very spring. I like how the scallops on the card mimic the scallops of the cover page. I like that the projects are recreatable! What is the technique they used to get such a neat watercolor wash look?

Fun and easy Table of contents

Pg4: What a Great color combo for that photo! I love how they connected the two buttons on the top of the scrapbook layout.
Pg8: Manhattan Collection - Can it get much better? The colors, the style, the samples? I can see a class on making the Butterfly Frame or even the accordian folder thing! I also love the way they colored in the flower from the Fifth Ave. Floral on that little card.
Pg10: Retro Fresh - Fresh, Fun color combo without being obnoxious. I love the bright color combo paired with the Choc. Chip. I think this will be a fun, popular style.
Pg 12: Sweet Bella - LOVE the look of the invite/announcement with the Top Note. Can you believe all the detail on those sweet little wrapped candies on the bottom of that tier? I mean - really look at how sweet they are.
The cake tier: What a fun idea to decorate it like this. You could totally change it out for the event/season. - Great colors too.
Pg 17: I want to take cutting lessons from these people! I really think that the popcorn is cute. DId you notice the sparkles on the butterfly wings?
Pg 18: I like the fans better than last catalogs cookie wrappers...hee hee. Cute little card too. That calendar would make a great hostess gift! Showcase a hostess set!
Pg 19: Like the treatment with the Drop Cap on the "K". Again - cutting lessons - please?
Pg 22:Fun samples. I like the little upside down lollipop holder. Great technique on the flowers on the card too.
Pg 23: Just FUN! love the little treat boxes.
Pg 26: It looks like they just did a single punch of the scallop border - I'm thinking this is like a buckle card? Going to have to play with this. Also - using only part of the scallop circle to mat...cute!
Pg 29:Fun way to add ribbon to the treat bag!
Pg 30: I like the way the words are stamped on the pot in that little card on the tight. Kind of cool....
Pg 31: I love the little "Firecracker Lifesavers" What a fun party favor/table decoration
Pg 32: It looks like the little "polka dots" on the "Thank you" card are actually punched! Way cute.
Pg 33: The butterfly! WaHoo! Did you notice the paper coiled around his body? - Also...it's a "Hidden 20" card! (sorry - it's a disney thing)
Pg 34-35: Love the color combo. Some great little details too.
Pg 37: Fun eyecatching layout...makes me really want to see the next few pages!
Pg 38: Is the one candle stamped on acetate? Cute!
Pg 40: I do not know if I have the patience to make all those little words
Pg 41: Great masculine cards with those sets
Pg 42: I like "jacob" sample. I could see making lots of these.
Pg 49: Look at the detail on the little blue "Birdie Told Me" card. Great detail!
- ok and i love the Animal Crackers set.
Pg 50: Finally! Some great samples for If the Halo fits! I never would have thought to use the wings that way - like the bag. Cute treatment with the twill tape.
Pg 51: I like how they used the little ring on the bag. very cute.
Pg 53: How freaking cute is the pink card? I love the dots on the dress card.
Pg 55: Love the layout of that bottom card!
Pg 57: A kind word - - I just want a little boy set like that!
Pg 58: LOVE Thoughts and Prayers! First order for sure.
Pg 59: Ok, so the cutting out of the tree - awesome!!! (the grass though really?)
Page 65: I want to do a barrette class! (Even though I'm the only girl in the house) These are soooooooooo adorable! Lots of products to use too!
Page 67: Did you see the button on the bow on the gift bag? CUTE!
Page 68: Ok, so I know that they used green in the nostrils to tie in the colors - but green nostrils? hee hee. Love the glittery pink eyes though (ha pink eye)
Pg 70" Fun little umbrellas - these people are too creative!
Pg 77: Cute house card!!!! Love the rub ons on the ribbon too
Pg 80: I have to make that box! Again, great cutting on the card. Great color combo on these pages
Pg 85: I love how they did the little pot with the words...
Pg 88: That single stamp looks great in the label
Pg 89: Did you see the little punches on the butterfly "hello" box
Pg 91: Cute Cute Cute Fun Fun Fun! Love the buton flower center
Pg 92: Never would have thought to cut the fron of that card into a cirlce!
Pg 97: I always forget that I can use my scraps to make these cute little strips
Pg 106: LOVE the color combos! The acetate front box is so cute!
Pg 109: They MADE that checkerboard! and the dice!
Pg 111: Look at the detail! They cut the little flowers out of that little background. I NEVER would have thought of that.
Pg 114-115: Did they actually use Glorious Green? Hee hee
Pg 117: Cute little curli-q coming out on that card
Pg 118: I love how they made the little words come out of the type-writer
Pg 120: Cute how they did the LOVE!
Pg 125: WOW! look at the border on the card! Hadn't thought of that before!

Pg 139: LOVE how they hung the little apples from that scallop piece!
Pg 141: Cute little upturned corner with the sweet little button
Pg 146: Fun way to spell out your message. I love the mix of fonts.
Pg 147: 2 beautiful cards!
Pg 149: What a phenomenal gift idea!!!
