Take a look at the NEW catalog HERE, the retiring list of stamps and accessories, and the Spring Mini Catalog HERE.

Join me next Saturday, June 8 from 2pm-4pm for my New Idea Book and Catalog Open House.  You can make a great card, get your own copy of the new Idea Book and Catalog, and shop my Retired Product Yard Sale.  And if you can't wait to get your hands on the book then, take a look at fellow demonstrator Jessica Taylor's catalog tour.  She spent a lot of time making a wonderful sampling of the catalog.

2013-14 Idea Book and Catalog Tour

Out with the old, to make room for the NEW!~

A new Idea Book and Catalog is coming June 3, so Stampin' Up!  has to make room for the new stuff.  That means retiring lists are out.  Check out what items are not going to be available after June 3.  This first list is the STAMPS - they will be available until that date.  The second list is for retiring accessories which are only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST:

I have created a Hostess code for your orders and I am giving the hostess benefits away!  When you get to my Stampin' Up! website, HERE, you will enter in this code:  ABQJNE62.  That will link your order to the mystery hostess order and once I close the order, I will give one of you that orders the hostess FREE products!  

So, what are you waiting for?

Reminiscing my Childhood

Stampin' Up!  has a new bundle until the end of April.  It is called Sent With Love.  When I saw the stamp set, it reminded me immediately of the Air Mail letters we used to send from Canada.  I knew I had to have it.  I hope to make a fun card with it soon and will share it with you all!  Enjoy the images and the bundle can be yours for only $25.50.  

Sent With Love stamp set $17.95

Sent With Love DSP $10.95

You can also purchase them as a digital kit for your digital paper crafting.

25 wonderful years! Time to Celebrate

It is Stampin' Up!'s birthday, but YOU get to celebrate.  There are so many hot specials going on I wonder why Arizona is so COLD this week.  The first one is new single stamps!  the one below is a sample.

There are two sets.  See Assortment 3 and Assortment 4.

The next exciting thing is a set for the MAN stamper!  How cool is that?  It is called....

There's a fun video to watch too ...

I'll save the other two items for tomorrow... STAY TUNED!

Upcoming Events for January

Come join me for some fun classes this month!  

January Promotion

There is this sweet little holiday coming up... VALENTINE's!  Stampin' Up!  has an equally sweet little offering.  Unfortunately, none of my club members will see any samples as it will be GONE before we meet, but you can still order it!  As a matter of fact, if I get 10 people who want to order both of the sets, I will give one of the lucky orders the hostess benefits!

This sweet stamp is in a bundle - get it with a package of 1"x 8" cellophane bags all for $5.95.  

This set is also available as a bundle - when you buy this set for $9.95 you will get the Sealed with Love set FREE!

Cricut project - OVERDUE!

Another overdue partial project - I have a co-worker who asked me LAST year (that should read 2011!!!!) to make her baby a name frame.  Well....  I completely forgot and she mentioned it to me again before our Christmas break last month.  I promised her I would get it for her.  SOOOO......  (drumroll please.........)

There isn't any stamping on it, but I LOVE it and had to share it with you!

Blue Ribbon Day

I guess since I actually stamped today you could call it a BLUE RIBBON day,  These were pieces parts from other projects.  I had a goal to put some of the partially done cards together into actual cards.  How many of you have half done projects?  GET 'EM DONE!  That is one of my goals this year - to keep up with projects and get partially done ones finished and don't have any more partials.!  (Sounds like a Boy Scout Merit Badge fiasco!)

The set was Blue Ribbon.  The colors on the top card were Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo.  The second set were Regal Rose and Perfect Plum and Pumpkin Pie and Lucky Limeade. 

Finishing up the Crafts -

Here are a few last photos of craft fair items then I will move on to cards.  :-)  These are from our first one of the season.

Merry Christmas to all!
