Retired!!!

Good morning to all!

I have been busy going over the retired lists that Stampin' Up! has posted the last little while. And although it is a little overwhelming.....I am so looking forward to the new catalogue come June 1st this year. Here are a few pictures of the things I have to put aside so I can make room for new goodies.

 Of course we knew the In Colors from 2010-2012 were going to retire but now we will have some new ones to play with!!!!

 This is the stamp sets that are retiring that I have !!!! Can't you just imagine what new and fun things are in the future.

 I now have some room to put new ones and I think some of these may find their way to other homes!!!

 Now if you are interested in the new catalogue, and don't have a demonstrator, I would love to send one to you. Just place an order with my online store of $50.00 (before S & H ) and I will put you on my mailing list. As soon as my books arrive I will mail one out to you. Canadian orders please.

Don't forget the Occasion Mini goes "dark" April 30th so if you have to have something from there don't wait too long. Also check out the Clearance Rack...(just scroll down and on the left)... for a ton of drastically reduced products!!! I know I have been there.

 And now a little tease for you loyal followers, starting in May, I will be starting my "Blog Candy" give aways. Once a month I will post a question for you and one lucky respondant will receive some new goodies. I will post a picture of the "Candy" and the question some time during the month so check in.

That's it for today, I have a card share next time. I got the basic idea from one of my girlfriend Sandi's Thank You cards. Bye for now.

Cheers from Shelagh in Shawnigan.

With Sympathy

Good morning to all.

I know we all have had times in our lives that require that special caring card for a dear friend or family member. This week a dear friend of mine lost her husband and I wanted to express my thoughts and the best way I can is by creating something for her. We sometimes get caught up in all the occasions and birthdays etc and it is very hard to make that one card. I hope this one helps a little.

The stamp set Petite Pairs was just perfect for this card, saying what sometimes is hard for all of us. Here's the inside for you to see.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and are able to spend some time with a special friend or a family member.

 Come back soon.

Designer Cuts

Good morning my friends.

 I have been playing with the Designer Cuts cards from the Occasions Mini. I know...the time to order from this catalogue is waning so here is a little tease that I hope you grab. I am so happy with how these turned out and I know you will "have to have" these pretty babies.

 
 I know, aren't they pretty!! And I have to say they went together quite fast. I think it would make a fabulous gift for someone and what I did is put the colors together....imagine with a ribbon wrapped around them to present to that special hostess.

 So what do you think? Don't wait to long to order these babies. If you have subscribed to my newsletter I will be posting the recipe I used to create these cards. I have a couple of sets in waiting for that special person or that special event.

Have a wonderful day and remember if you need a demopnstrator I am only a "click" away. Thanks for stopping by.
