~{Happy Father's Day}~

~{I Just can't Believe you're going}~

Is how I feel about the Just Believe stampset that is retiring at the end of the month. I used some retiring colours too to create the background.

~{farewell my friends}~

I put all the retiring stamps and colours in a basket. They're useful to have on hand so I'll use them. If there are any sets there you would like please order soon as when they're gone... they're gone!

I love Pinterest!

So much inspiration, pin it, come back to it later...and bam!

Saw {this} card on there, and as I have the Best of Flowers stamps set, had to give it a go!

I teamed up with the retiring Kindness Matters set (boohoo...so sad to see that one go), and the retiring Pool Party Bakers Twine.

The main bulk of the stamping was done in one go, I cut the cardstock into pieces after it was stamped.  Great for doing multiple cards.

Then I'll begin...

I have so much Stampin' Up! news to update you with!

Firstly, the online store is being worked on by the lovely people at Stampin' Up!, so please bear with, and if you would like to place an order, please contact me directly.

Secondly, it's an exciting time of year for us demo's.  We've just had our first glimpse of the new catalogue that will come out next month!  So that means the retired list is now out, and there are some bargains to be had!

So, without further ado, click {here} for the retiring stamps list, and {here} for the retiring accesories list.  Products are only available while stocks last, I'll be putting an order in on the 14th June, please contact me if you would like anything.

It's so bitter-sweet, I love seeing new products but am always sad to say goodbye to my favourite retiring ones.

Then thirdly, Stampin' Up! have been celebrating 25 years of business, and as part of the celebrations they have created exclusive stamp sets that will only be released each month, 3 of the images are favourites from the past 25 years and 1 is a brand new design.  To kick things off June's set is called "Best of Flowers".  And I have to confess I think it is lovely! I got it early when I went to a Stampin' Up! training day.  It is available in clear-mount only, and is priced at £13.95 and is available till the 31st March 2014.

And if that isn't enough!  Stampin' UP! have just announced that they have released five single stamps available for the clear mount blocks.  They can be purchased individually, and will come in clear-mount only, they are priced at either £6.50 or £6.95 and you will need block E.  To save your pennies they'll come in a clear celo bag rather than a case.  They'll be available to 31st August. 

Phew' I hope that's enough news to keep you going.
