Not So Seriously ~ seriously

Seriously, Not So Seriously is retiring in one day, May 31, 2012 ~ gone!  And, it has brought so much fun to Stampin' Up!'s 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.  This would be a great day to place one last order and include this fun lady and the muttley crew!  #123087 (c) or #123085 (w) on page 55 in the catty ~

This set is great for birthdays, male and female, and for letting someone know that you really miss them!  It would also make a great scrapbook page!

Season of Friendship

This lovely set is retiring.  We used it yesterday for my Stamp-A-Stack Class ~ everyone made 16 cards!  This one is an easel card.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  Say a prayer for all of those families who have supported and are supporting our country.  God Bless all of them.  See you next week!

Tote-ally Tess ~ totally gone

Nature's Nest

I think that this set is Eloise's favorite stamp set ~ Eloise is Alan's Mom and she loves turtles.  And, she really loves this turtle!

Nature's Nest, set of 5, #113826 on page 122 in Stampin' Up!'s Idea Book and Catalog ~ for 8 more days!

 Samples from Stampin' Connection except the first one.  Lots of you will remember making the turtle card in a recent Stamp-a-Stack class in the Cat/Art Studio ~ 16 cards, busy Saturday morning!  Let me know if you are interested in this beautiful set, these lined images stamp so well and it is so easy to make interesting cards and projects with the nest, the shell, the dragonfly, the turtle and the feather. 

Another favorite...

Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog, page 113 ~ for 9 more days.

This card is created by stamping the image in Versamark and using Pastels to add the color.  Pastels include applicators in the box.  The applicators are like little q-tips but with sponges on the end.  Stampin' Pastels, #120962, (40 colors for $24.95) are also retiring at the end of the month!

CATalogs in the Cat/Art Studio

New CATalogs are so exciting.  I know you are looking forward to having your very own 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! CATalog!

So, how do you get yours?

• Many of you are on my FREE CATALOG LIST because you belong to a stamp club.  You can pick your catalog up at your club meeting.
• Some of you are already on my NEW CATALOG LIST meaning that you have requested a catalog to be mailed to you when I receive them.  If you are on this list you catalog will be FREE as a gift from me.  You pay the shipping cost.  If you are not on the list, but would like to be, just email me HERE! 
• Attend my GOODBYE/SNEAK PEAK EVENT ON Sunday afternoon, May 20, to say goodbye to our current catalog and all the stamp sets that are retiring.  If my catalogs have arrived, you will receive a new catalog as you leave the party!
• So, if you still don't have your very own brand new catalog ~ my NEW CATALOG OPEN HOUSE is scheduled for June 29 and 30th ~ more information coming soon!

In, the meantime, all the CATalogs are being well taken care of by our watch cat, Jupiter!  See you soon!  Happy Saturday!  Susan Elise
