Going, Going.... Gonna be GONE!

Apologies up front, because this is such a long post. It's full of information that you need to know... but it's just not fun stuff. So please read through and don't get distracted... the best part is the Challenge at the end.

I don't know about you, but I'm really excited about the upcoming new Stampin Up Idea Book & Catalog (IB&C). Normally the IB&C comes out on July 1st each year. This year it will come out on June 1st. That's just a little more than a month away. I can't wait! Stampin Up always amazes me with the new items they come up.
Along with the new IB&C this year, there are lots of changes as well. On a previous post I gave you the list of the stamp sets that will retire on May31, 2012. There are also some accessories that will be retiring as well. Before I give you some information about the items retiring let me go ahead and give you some links.

These links are for the lists in PDF format. They are sorted by page number so you can follow the list along with your catalog.

• Retiring Stamps List 
• Retiring Definitely Decorative
• Retiring Accessories List

If you'd like to view pictures you can go to my site HERE. There you can find all the retiring products by category and see pictures of each item. You can also go ahead and purchase those items NOW. These retiring items are available through May 31st... BUT... they are available ONLY while supplies last. So don't wait. 

Also notice that some of the items in the Retiring Accessories List are discounted... some up to 70%! That's an awesome deal! Dont miss out! 

I know... I know... I said this was going to be long and boring. BUT... if you've have followed some of my previous posts you may remember that I set up a new blog called My Stampin Closet. In an effort to move all my posts about Stampin Up to that blog I'm shortening this post. I'm sort of doubling up right now. You'll find the same posts here and there for a while until I finish the switch. So for the rest of this post and LOTS of important details about the Retiring Accessories List... please head over there and finish the post there. DON'T forget to follow that blog. Soon ALL my SU posts and projects will be there. 

AND.... the challenge is posted there! That's the fun part... so don't miss this.

And I love the Digital Kit for this. Here's a hybrid card I made in My Digital Studio using the Summer Smooches kit.

Click on the card for a link to the original post. It was super fun and easy to make. I used the SS Digital Kit. The card is pretty much already made. I deleted the yellow strip on the program, printed it out and then I head embossed "thanks" on the strip and notched the end. I also added some rhinestones for bling and double matted the card.  IT WAS SO EASY! And the card looks great.

Wow! It's that time of year. Stampin Up's biggest promotional event. I was a Stampin Up Demonstrator for several years but stepped away for a while. This is my first SAB event for me since I've been back and I had forgotten just how exciting it is. Stampin Up is giving away so many FREE products. It's so awesome! I can't wait to share the Sale-A-Bration brochure with all my stampin, scrappin and paper craftin friends. There are three ways to earn FREE products and it's super simple....

Spend $50 on anything in the catalog or mini catalog and  you earn one FREE item from the SAB brochure. You get to choose from exclusive SAB stamp sets, embellishments and select current stamp sets from the catalog. You can even choose a digital download of all the SAB items. How cool is that?!?! You can earn these rewards on orders placed at a workshop or party... or you can simply go online and order. Click here to order online.

Love stamping with friends? Invite some friends over, I'll prepare all the projects, your friends can earn free products from the SAB brochure and  you get additional free products for hosting. It doesn't get much better than that.

Ok... well maybe it does get a little better. There's never been a better time than now to join Stampin Up. Not only will you get a free package of designer series paper or a digital download EVERY month in 2012... you can join for only $125. And that's the entire kit. What a great value!!
