The Retirement List is Here!

It won't be long till our new annual catalogue is here, 2nd July.  To make room for some lovely new products sadly some things are retiring. The links to the retirement lists are below, if there is anything you really want, it is best to get it NOW, once it's gone it's gone, just send me an email. I will try and update as things are sold out.
The Retiring STAMP SET LIST (items with a red dot have 40% off and orange dot 25% off)
The Retiring ACCESSORIES LIST some up to 50%off.

Technical Hitch!

Just to let you all know that, due to unforeseen circumstances Stampin' Up! have had to take down the On-Line Store to make some adjustments.  They are unsure how long this will take but I will let you know when it's back on line.

You can now order Stampin' Up On-Line 24/7!!!

I have some very exciting news, from today you can order Stampin' Up products at any time from my On-Line Store and they will be delivered straight to your door!! I have my own Stampin' Up Home Page and Store Front which I will be able to up-date with all my events/classes etc.
Here is my Stampin' Up Home Page:

There is a SHOP NOW link on the top and bottom part of the page. The first time you shop you will have to set up an account but once that's done you will be registered with me.

I have also put a link directly to my store on the top of the right hand panel so you don't have to keep looking for this post!

This and That Embelishments

Some more things I have made for my This and That journal. I used the Pursuit of Happiness and hearts a flutter stamp sets to make some labels and tags:

I also made an envelope using the Epic Day DSP to store them all in:

This and That - post it note key chain

I haven't quite decided what to put in my This and That Journal so have been making things to go with it instead.  I made this little post it note holder on a key chain that attaches to the spine.

 They are really easy to make, I had a little post it note block 1 1/2" x 2", this makes three.

• Take a piece of card 1 1/2" x 5 1/4"  
• Score on long side at 2 1/16",2 3/16", 4 1/4" & 4 3/8"
• Decorate the front panel 2 1/16" x 1 1/2" DSP
• Stick the pot it notes in to the holder, (third of the pack)
• Fold the cover over
• Punch a hole using largest hole of crop a dile
• Thread jump ring of key chain through the hole
• I used a velcro dot as closure

Here it is attached to my journal:

My This and That - Craft Therapy Journal #1

Stampin' Up's This and That journal is absolutely gorgeous! Mine arrived yesterday and after stroking it for a while I decorated the front and back cover. I decided to cover the whole cover in the Epic Day DSP and used the Morning Post Alphabet stamp set. After much deliberation I decided to cover the front and back with transparent adhesive book covering, this is because I know mine would get dirty very quickly as I am a messy crafter. It does give the cover a little shine, (I prefer it matt) but it will keep it clean.

The back

 Inside front cover, I made a little pocket.

I have lots to say about this and That so watch out for my posts!

This and That is Here!

Sorry, I didn't realise I hadn't told you about Stampin' Up's new This and That Journal Epic Day, how remiss! This will be in the new catalogue that arrives in July but Stampin' Up have made it available for us all (not just demonstrators) to purchase during May. It has chipboard covers with some hexagon embossing on the front, inside are 30 pages with lovely designs on, pages are a bit thicker than the usual DSP. There are pockets on two pages and two envelopes included. I think at £9.95 it is amazing value, what's more during May we can purchase the journal and four coordinating products as a bundle for £29.95, a saving of 15%. Here is the bundle:

 Hust contact me now if you would like to purchase it. I will show you mine in my next post.
