Stampin' Up! 2016 Retiring Lists: Annual & Occasions Catalogs

I want to make sure I have this ready to go for you...you will want to check out these lists ASAP and go order what you want before it is GONE for good! If you have not yet ordered 2014-2016 In Color supplies that you want, ORDER THEM NOW! These are notorious for selling out immediately, and reinkers are usually the first to go, followed closely by ink pads, and card stock. I cannot stress this enough: ORDER THEM NOW. Also, I have seen the new catalog, and if there's a punch you really want to have GET IT NOW. I'm not saying we won't have *any* punches, just that I was surprised what didn't carry over. Same for dies, if you've been on the fence and one is on the Retiring List, GET IT NOW.

So, I'm going to post the original retiring lists here, and I may or may not update them as often as you'd like. This means, if you see something on a Retiring List, but you can't find it in my ONLINE STORE when you search for it...it's SOLD OUT...even if my list isn't updated to reflect that yet. In other words, my ONLINE STORE will reflect the status of any given item, live.

Belated Easter Card and Weekly Deals Ending April 18th

Wow, being in pain totally SUCKS. Big duh, I know...but this is a special kind of suckiness. I've mentioned it a couple times before, here and there, but I've been dealing with Trigeminal Neuralgia for almost 20 years now. The first time was almost 8 years straight, and since then it's been a flare up once in a while, that I thought I'd figured out how to get under control fairly quickly. The last couple/few times, it has been challenging, and I've had to try new things. It came back in March, and once again it took a new arsenal. I'm always amazed at how poorly my brain functions on severe pain, it's kinda frightening how stupid I can get so quickly. I'm finally out of pain on a daily basis, and even though the condition itself is not degenerative, three to four weeks of pain and couch-lock really wear the body out. There's a lot of rest to catch up on, and I'm still working back up to having a full day's worth of energy. Blah, blah, blah, enough of that...here's an Easter card I managed to make and send to my son. (my daughter got a "pink" version of this card, but without the glittery ribbon)

In the picture, you can see the edge of the Easter Lamb stamp, with the index sticker for the greeting. This is available ONLY as a single wood-mount stamp, but I cut the greeting away and mounted it on the other skinny end of the wood block, and mounted the lamb by itself on the large surface of the same block. I like being able to use the lamb alone, because it's perfect for baby cards, or even just a "happy spring" card, or a fun "thank ewe" or "I love ewe" card. Super adorable and versatile, especially if you grab the Alphabet Rotary Stamp along with it. I'll list all the Stampin' Supplies I used at the end of this post, so just scroll down for those details.

Before I go, let's talk about Stampin' Up!'s Weekly Deals ending. April 18th is going to be the last day of the Weekly Deals promotion, and will be replaced by a better, more exciting, albeit less frequent, promotion called Special Offers. There will be MORE products and discount tiers to choose from! In the meantime, check out what's available in Weekly Deals this week. Guys, the Gift Bag Punch Board is $5 OFF!!!
