Okay, here is a bit of Sale-a-bration information. This year, when you spend $50 in product during Sale-a-bration, you can choose from stamp sets, designer series paper, a punch, or even selected sets from the Idea Book and Catalog for your FREE item. How cool is that? So, if you have the FREE Sale-a-bration sets all already or don't like the mini catalog options, they are giving you several more options. Awesome!
