Handstamped by Joyce Hall

I recently visited Milwaukee where I attended an event sponsored by Stampin’ Up! The event was to reveal the Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure that will be available January 5, 2016.

I was called up to the stage to celebrate my 20^th anniversary (I signed up as a demonstrator on September 5, 1995.) as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator:

I am pictured on the left here with Janice Weightman, another 20-year demonstrator.

We previewed the spring catalog at the Stampin’ Up! event and made some samples with new stamp sets featured in the catalog:

It was suggested that these could easily be turned into cards by adhering them to coordinating cardstock. Here are some finished cards I made with these samples:

Do you like the Botanical Gardens card better with a Pear Pizzazz or So Saffron background? Tell me in the comments.
