Countdown to new catalogue

It is nearly 1st September, which means the new catalogue is almost here!  I love this time of the year.  I love all the inspiring new samples, the new colour combinations and project ideas, the new in- colours, the new DSP, and of course, the new stamps.....does that make me a Stampin' Up! tragic?  If it is, I don't care!

I've spent the weekend cutting up 400 squares of DSP for one of my Make & Takes for the New Catalogue Launch on 9th September.  Funny how if you really like a card you designed, you start to dislike it by the time you have prepped 100 of them!  Almost finished preparing that card, one more design to go.  Then more samples, prizes, raffles, etc.  It is a lot of work, but also a lot of fun.  I can't wait to show you all the gorgeous projects I've made!

In the meantime, here is the (sniff!) ever-growing list of retired products that are sold out forever.

The current SOLD OUT List as far as I can tell:

Peach Parfait Classic Stampin' Ink Refill

Don't be alarmed by the retirement of the ink pads and trimmer, by the way.  They are being reconfigured, and will be better than ever in the new product line.  I've tried the new foam ink pads, and I have to say, they totally ROCK!  Much better coverage, you need a lighter touch (no more digging the stamp into the ink pad, or concave ink pads that don't ink up solid image stamps properly).  I'm a convert!

In other news, I was supposed to be running my evening stamp class on Friday 31st August, but unfortunately, I just won't be able to fit that in, with all the pre- Launch preparation to do.  I'm sorry!  I will be scheduling new classes in September, so keep your eyes out for them.

Happy Stamping!

In other news - I am organising my monthly class (so stay tuned),  I have a party booked, and I volunteered to make cards with my daughter's Year 2 class each Wednesday afternoon.  I'm also gearing up for the Big Launch Day on the 9th September.

Busy, busy, busy!

Oh I have also discovered the most fabulous ribbon organising/storage system in the Universe!  I'll be devoting an entire blog post to it shortly.  It is called the Ribbon Roll Control and the website is HERE.  The are in the USA, but are so reasonably priced, with great shipping prices and super-fast service.  The people at Ribbon Roll Control are just delightful to deal with and are happy to ship internationally. Love.  I'm not on their payroll!  But I believe in sharing when I find a good thing.

I also received my new catalogue pre order and new catalogues today!  Squeeee!  I'm not allowed to show you yet, but you'll love it!

Happy Stamping!
