Stampin' Up! catalog scavenger hunt

I am hosting a scavenger hunt with questions about the new Spring/Summer Collection 2008 catalog. This will help us to learn the layout of the catalog and see all the great new products. If you don't have a copy of the catalog, you may order one from me or your local demonstrator or view the catalog on-line at http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/Default.asp

There are no rules for this contest. Simply answer the questions and e-mail me at stampinmichelleh@aol.com with your answers by January 20 (Sunday) at 11 PM. You do not need to be a SU! demonstrator or a customer of mine to participate. Two prizes will be awarded: one prize to the first person who answers all the questions correctly and the second prize will be awarded by a drawing of the names of those who answer the questions correctly. The prizes to be awarded will be samples of some of our new catalog products in an altered container.

Post a comment or e-mail me if you have any questions. Have fun and good luck!
