As good a reason as any NOT to iron!

 

This page is part of my vacation scrappin' and what's great about these pages is how simple they are - mostly Stamps Inks Paper (SIP!).  This is from when McKenna touched the iron one morning while I was getting ready for my new job.  Not that I needed a reason not to want to iron...ugh!!  She cried and cried...then they started to talk about skin grafts...thankfully once she got some tylenol she was ok and grafting was not necessary, but my heart was so heavy all day.

Stamps:  Circle Circus

Inks:  Whisper White Craft

Paper:  Tea Party DSP, Lovely Lilac, Whisper White Textured

Stampin' Up!'s Career Plan...

So, you have heard me talk about the new promotion for demonstrators, and all the various revenue streams available, here is what Stampin' Up! offers - Find out more at the Opportunity Night on August 27th at 7pm - email stampwithtara@yahoo.com for details!

 

The Stampin’ Up! Career Plan is a generous offering of ways demonstrators can earn income. Learn more about the Stampin' Up! Career Plan below.

• As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, keep 20 percent of the personal net sales you earn through workshop and customer direct sales!
• Earn an extra 10 percent instant income on your first order of $150 or more when you place your order in the first 45 days of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. That means you’ll earn up to 30 percent!
• Earn additional income (which we call volume rebate) on your monthly net sales of $400 or more. Together, your instant income and volume rebate can reach up to 40 percent of your personal sales a month!
• Earn free stamps within the first six months you’re a demonstrator through our Stampin’ Start program—a program that helps you establish a thriving career.
• Keep your personal monthly sales at $300 or more, recruit other demonstrators, and you’ll be eligible to earn commission on your recruits’ sales! (We call this downline overrides.) You’ll earn even higher commission as you achieve higher titles and as your sales increase. The Compensation Plan Table on this page illustrates how much you can earn through the Stampin' Up! Career Plan.
• Earn cash bonuses, product bonuses, incentive trips, and other awards as you achieve success through our awards and recognition program.
