I know that you all have been flooded from everyones blogs with the Retiring List and I also know that many of you are saying YIKES – there is 10 pages of products! YEP, that’s right and YEP, this happens every year.
Make sure that you look down on this post because I will be offering a DSP Stack Share and if you want in….you need to act fast because I have no idea how long they will be available! 😀
I know that many of you are sad, confused, perhaps saying – “I just can’t take it all in there is so much” – well, I get it and after I type this for you to read today, I am going to sit down with my catalog and highlight all of the “walking the plank” items and then take a look at what I want to stock up on 😀
Like I said, I am sitting down myself to see what these 10 pages look like but I want to remind you…that when you see the BUNDLES list….remember, there are many that ARE carrying over to the NEW CATALOG but they will not be at the BUNDLED PRICE….so the moral of the story is…snatch the Bundles now to get the 10% off.
This is what I am the most sad about….seriously – this is my “lower lip down” product that I will be missing…as I use it so often…there are my go-to’s when I need the “certain color”...they are just a great classic! We are NOT having a color refresh so all of these colors are current in the NEW CATALOG.
Because of this – I WILL OFFER A PRODUCT SHARE ON THESE…..and sadly this will be the last time as they are not in the New Catalog. Whenever I offer this share, it is always popular…..so I would hop on it as this is a great way to get a taste without breaking the bank.
If you want to take part in this share, please email me and put in the subject line – DSP STACK PRODUCT SHARE so I can spot it. Please email me ASAP if you want in this share as all of these retired products are while supplies last. Once a share fills, I will email you a Pay Pal invoice.
The share will include 1/2 sheet of each color in the collections for $25.00 and then the shipping is a flat $6.95 (the cost of a Priority Mail legal envelope) = $31.95 The collections that I am doing are the following : You will get (90) half sheets of beautiful DSP paper and all of the colors will be carried over through the next catalog.
- Brights
- Regals
- Subtles
- Neutrals
- In Color 2016 – 2018 (Only this In Color)
You all know I love Jack Russell’s and this little guy is sprinting as fast as he can….and I know you all are doing the same thing with this retired list and then I invite you to see the next picture….JUST BREATHE…..
Very different messages but I hope that you can find the balance. Yes, the Stampin’ Up! website was ON OVER LOAD….be patient and know that we are all in the same boat. You all are going to love the NEW Catalog, it was a treat to be able to see it and I look forward to some “me time” to REALLY sit and take it in!
Enjoy the day….it is going to be a GREAT day and tomorrow….it’s a PALS BLOG HOP DAY…and we all know THAT will be a FUN DAY of sheer INSPIRATIONS! Hang in there…and have FUN shopping away!

It is that time of the year….the time where we act like we are in line to get the MUST HAVE toy at the Holidays when our kids were little peeps! Every year this is a bitter-sweet moment but the reality is – IT HAPPENS and there is not a darn thing to do about it! 😕
Honestly, I can say that the BIGGIE for me that is not carrying over are the DSP Stacks in the various Color Families…..(found on the bottom of page 174 in the Big Catalog) and here is a screen shot for you. You all know that I ADORE these and they will be sadly missed by me and I am sure a bunch more! 🙁
You can CLICK HERE (OR THE ABOVE IMAGE) to see the Retiring List but please know….when this goes up – things get wild and crazy…..so the EARLY BIRD is the one that DEFINITELY CATCHES THE WORM…(If I were you……I would print it off as it is easier to read and I like to go by the page numbers)
As you go through the list you can see where some items are discount up to 50% in areas. Remember, all of these items are while supplies last and Stampin’ Up! will go in and update as things sell out!
Some find it easier to have a visual…so below you can click on the headers and see! Have fun!
Every year the one thing that just ZOOMS….are the In Colors that are retiring….and don’t forget the re-inkers if you already have the stamp pads…..below are some of the links for things that are leaving us that you might want to do a QUICK CLICK and GRAB THEM!
Have fun….and GOOD LUCK – the cyber world is buzzing and the connection is slow….be patient!

Now is this LATE or what but as promised I am sharing with you some cards that I received at Richmond over the weekend. Have you ever had soooooo much fun that you came home pooped and just wanted to crawl into bed and snuggle! Well – that is me right now but I was determined to share some sunshine for you today!
It was a wonderful time filled with laughter, inspiration and oh yes – one little thing – THE NEW CATALOG!!!! Yippee!!!! 😀 Last night I wish that you would have seen the 4 of us in our hotel room just CHATTING UP A STORM and I stopped and said – Isn’t this wonderful that we are adults and acting like kids getting new toys!
Many thanks for the comments yesterday and YEP…we have a WINNER!!!! Woot-Woot to Carol…..OK Carol…STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING….and do that DANCE…..shake it and then when you catch your breathe – EMAIL ME and let me know your address!
I have to say….these were so fun and rewarding to make! I think that it is great to be able to use the Big Shot in many different ways! I will try to do a card for you with some felt….it is a fun and different twist to a card! Texture….we all love texture 😀
NOW TO THE 1st PARADE FOR YOU! I just LOVE the talent and insight out there and I am happy to say that ALL of these stamps shown are staying around – YIPPPEEEEE!!!
(p.s. – you WILL see me CASE this one and I will blog all about it one day as it is so practical and FUN!)
Awe….so darn tootin’ cute!
YES – soooooo glad that this is carrying over….no bundle though – so take advantage before June 1st!
This stamp set IS on my next order….so happy that it will be around – such a SWEET card!
What can I say but WOW….this IS my kind of card….fun and fresh!
The colors are amazing – and then there is wink of stella on top….FAB-O!
I wish that you all could feel this – the flowers and coloring are on Vellum….. 🙂
Simple…Fun…DONE!
There you go….and I am off to bed before it is dark…..but tomorrow is a day off for me BUT….I have to POP IN and share with you….
THE RETIRED LIST
This is the time of the year that reality happens and we are 🙁 but then we are also 😀 because we can snatch up the things that we have been “eyeing up”. It is what it is and just because somethings are being retired…that doesn’t mean that they are not special!
One thing I know is…this “little thing” that we do IS SPECIAL…and I am so glad that I am on this journey!

Good Morning and things are in FULL SWING here in Richmond. Here is a quick post showing you the goodie bag that I made using the Paper Pumpkin kit from March (the bunny bag) that I blogged about yesterday!
Read to the bottom and you could win one of the sweet bags!!!!
Did you realize that you can cut many, MANY things from the Big Shot can be cut with other material than just paper? Well, it can and it’s easy. Today I am using felt….and I have some great pictures for you just to see the details and you can see that the edges are clean and crisp – just like it does when it is paper.
The framelits I used are the Flower Fair Framlits…and I used good old green glue to adhere! You can purchase felt from many sources but the felt that I used for these sweet bags I purchased from Taylored Expressions – I love the colors that they have and because this is a wool felt~ it cuts like butter and the edges are perfect!
You know me by now….I ADORE Bakers Twine and use it often. Because I love to save time…you can see that I added the button with the green glue and then tied a bow (2 strands cause’ it looks FUN this way) and then adhered it right on top of the button….EASY – DONE!
I love shots like this….it is so rewarding and just plain FUN to see a bunch lined up in a row…I was so happy to be able to change up the “Bunny Bags” and make into something totally different.
You know that I also love to use up products that might not be current because – WHY NOT? If you liked it before and purchased it…..YOU LIKED IT THEN….and guess what – you will like it AGAIN!!!
The ribbon I used for this sweet little purse was a past product…and the buttons – I have a big Mason Jar filled with them and each and every day that I see it – I smile as there is nothing like seeing a bunch of colors together!
Now to the BUCKET OF YUMMIES….there are 14 of us so I made some yummies for us to munch on throughout the day! It is
to be here with so many amazing men and women and I have to say…..I received the Catalog last night….AND YOU ARE GOING TO SMILE – it is FUN.
I was saying it is like how you felt that when you were a child and the new Sears Catalog….but this is EVEN BETTER to have this magical feeling as adults! SO FUN!
Here is a picture that we just snapped at convention before I hit the send button to you! From left some of my team members……Ramsey, me, Jeanie and Deb. (Bridget is at another table but we will get more pictures)
Last night we were talking (again like kids in their jammies talking into the wee hours) – it is so fun to be a PAL……I am proud to be a part of Mary Fish’s group and what is so fun and unique…..no matter what city a PAL is attending a convention…..WE ALL RALLY together and we are a BIG family…..having a great time….the 14 of us!
Until later……there will be lots to share and trust me, I will have some FUN SWAP cards for you! I am having the time of my life and my “JOY TANK” is filled to the brim. I love meeting and see old friends and gaining new ones. I wish that each and every one of you were here!
Leave me a comment on how you like my little bag….and I made an extra one – FOR ONE OF YOU!
You see….this is another reason to take advantage of Aprils Paper Pumpkin – just do it for one month – as it is AMAZING!!!!
******UPDATE******* – I just saw a SNEEK PEEK of the Below Paper Pumpkin and if you know me well enough…….and YOU need IT….and if there are refills – I will be a ca-zillion – AMAZING!!!!! HANDS DOWN – the most unique and just FUN kit…..but remember, you have to order it by the 10th – don’t wait….just DO IT (as Nike says) 🙂 now before you forget!********

Good Friday to you all! Well….I try. I tried to plan my blog posts for the week and one thing that happened that was NOT in the plan was….Stampin’ Up! sold out of the refill kits for the March Kit. 🙁
What can we all say but OH WELL….life happens and it is not the end of the world …BUT – I need to share with you some of my bunnies that I made for the young, the old, the mailman, the dog/horse sitter…..just about anyone that touches my heart because I think that they are SUPER cute!
We will make Lemonade out of this post for many reasons….first, I made you smile with these adorable bunnies that each have (4) miniature Reese Eggs in them (YUM)
I think the little tail is just so darn sweet but I need to remind you where they came from…..they are a part of the Paper Pumpkin Kit that Stampin’ Up! offers each and every month.
There are several ways that you can take part in the fun. That is what is great about it as you make it what YOU want it to be….in a nutshell, you can sign up for just 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or even a year! It is YOUR choice 🙂
They make a great gift to give to a family member or perhaps someone you know that likes to make things. EVERYTHING is included in the little box and it is mailed RIGHT TO YOU!
When you are a subscriber….you have the opportunity to purchase addition refill kits if they are available….you can see that this one was super popular (for obvious reasons) and it ZOOM – SOLD OUT fast!
Now before I get CLICKED OFF…..please hear me out. I get it, I know that some months the kits do not tickle your fancy but I can’t even imagine how hard it is to try to figure out what would be fun and HOT and what would be not the stellar. Trust me, they try their best.
If I were you…and even IF YOU WERE A PAST PPP….(Paper Pumpkin Person – I love that name) I would sign up for next month. I ask you – what do you have to lose for just $20.00.
Next month kit is super special because Sara Douglas had a major impact into the design of the kit. Watch this short video and you will see the passion and sheer fun she has with Stampin’ Up! (I am sure her Mama is PROUD)
So….as you can see – this is going to be a fun and special one of a kind kit…..but here is the catch – you need to sign up BEFORE April 10th to get this special kit. Sara is just adorable and is really trying to make her own “Stamp” being the CEO of Stampin’ Up!…..I guess you can definitely say….IT’S A SARA THING!
Before we go….some housekeeping for you. 😀
I am leaving to see the NEW catalog, see friends and meet NEW friends….be inspired…..see and learn techniques and just have the time of my life this weekend in Richmond.
- Tomorrows post will be later for you because I am going to share with you what I did for the PALS that attended convention…and I would hate for them to see it on line before they see it in their “paws”
- Sunday’s post will be inspiration from Richmond (please note, I am NOT allowed to share with you the new stuff……just yet) but trust me, there will be plenty of inspiration for you on Sunday!
- Monday is my DAY OFF 😀 ….but who knows….my creativity might take a soar and I might surprise you…..
Have a super day and I hope that if you are in Richmond ….I would LOVE to meet you! This is the FUN of this journey……meeting and connecting.
If I were you…I would hit that 1 month subscription below (you can see that I am only showing the 1 month) I really think that this next kit will be special…..one NOT to miss – you have nothing to loose as there is no commitment. (Hint – hint……I think the BOX AND COLOR might be a hint)
BOY – do we LOVE those CUBES of ink…..HINT-HINT…..and rumor has it – the NEW In Colors are FUN! (I received 3 yesterday and will be taking them with me for my team to play with – WOW – I LOVE them!)
Have a GREAT day….thanks for being YOU in popping in and until tomorrow…..more inspiration!
