Have a great Canada Day!

Ok - one of the most awaited days has come - the last chance lists are here!!  That's right, and if this retiring list is any indication, the next catalogue is going to be FULL TO THE BRIM of amazing new products!  WOW! And the new catalogue is 16 pages bigger!!!

Haven't been around that long?  The last chance lists are all the product in our annual catalogue that will be retired forever - it's your last chance to buy them NOW - in fact, many of the items have already sold out as of this afternoon, so if there is something you want to make sure you get, you need to get in there and shop now! (and there are a bunch of sales too!) Now, pay attention for a sec, because this year is a bit different than in past years:

The REALLY fantastic thing is that this time, all the stampsets, accessories and Decor Elements are listed and their status current on my online store, and you can browse the lists there.. and some of the retiring items are 25-50% off! only while supplies last!

If you like a good deal... get in there now and place your order (and get it shipped directly to you!!) While you are there, check out the clearance rack as well (only available on online orders) and get some other GREAT deals!  Remember... those on the East Coast have been up for 3 hours more than us and I'm sure they have all been ordering like crazy!!  once an item is gone, it is GONE! Don't delay!!

Make sure you check back to my online store often - as you can see, many of the items have sold out already (a * indicates this).  The best way for you to get your hands on these retiring items is to place an order through my online store here (click on 'show now') - that way you can check out quickly and grab those items before they are gone FOREVER!

I will be placing orders every time I get to $100 to save on shipping, so if you only want a small item, you can email it to me, but you should know that it might be gone before I get to $100 to order.. (so much better to place an online order so it will ship directly to you - it's all about speed right now - you gotta get in there fast and snap up those bargains!)


Sooo, without further ado, here we go!  Click on the Last Chance image below to see all the lists in action!!

Old Olive Polka Dot 6x6 Designer Album

This item is currently unavailable to order from the Summer Mini. It was listed as a "while supplies last" item in the catalog but Stampin' Up! has ordered in more stock as this item sold out in less than 3 weeks! You can order this album again on July 12 when Stampin' Up! has received their order.

If this was an item you were wanting to order, I would not wait...I'm sure it will once again be a quick seller as it is still "while supplies last".

Occasions Mini creations......

These cards are ones I have created using items out of the Occasions Mini Catalogue! This catalogue is only around until the end of April.... which is not too far away!

The above three cards all used the same supplies.... just in a different way!  The top two are both 4x6 cards and the bottom is a 3x3 mini card all are using the Thoroughly Modern DSP, the Fox & Friends Stamp Set (form the Occasions Mini), Whisper White 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon, Soft Suede cardstock, Melon Mambo cardstock, Bermuda Bay cardstock, and Soft Suede Classic Ink. The small heart was punched out using the smallest heart from the Heart to Heart punch.  This was a great card and you can use it for any occasion!

 These two cards above use the gorgeous Butterfly Embosslit, using the Big Shot and this great Embosslit, you can create five different sized butterflies... all embossed in different patterns. (the top butterfly card uses one of each of the different butterflies)  These cards also use the Circle Circus stamp set to create the custom background - It's like making your own DSP... that will definitely match your card! It also used most of the current In Colors ink colors and cardstock (Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry) as well as Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose cardstock and ink,  Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose 5/8 inch grosgrain ribbon.

The above cards were so much fun to create!

go have a great day and stamp something!
