On Friday I held my annual Occasions Catalogue Launch Party, which included hands-on exploration of the new 2017 Occasions Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration products, participating in games, winning prizes and more! Here's a look at the product display from the day...

A party is not a party unless it has gifts! So during the Launch Party I gave away these spot prizes, which included the Party Animal Designer Series Paper and Party Animal Embellishments with a generous length of Emerald Envy 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon wrapped around it. You can see all these fun products on page 5 of the Occasions Catalogue.

Everyone who attended the Occasions Catalogue Launch Party also had multiple chances to put their name into a prize draw, which was drawn at the end of the event. The winners received the gorgeous Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper and Special Reason stamp set, with two lengths of the Succulent Garden 3/8" Ribbon (Sweet Sugarplum and Whisper White). These were gratefully received...

There were two projects for everyone to create and enjoy having hands-on experience with some new products. This first project is a fun birthday tag that folds like a small notecard. This was made using the Party Animal Product Suite...
