Thank you to everyone who placed an online order with me this weekend! I appreciate you! I'm so happy you were able to get FREE SHIPPING! If you have not gotten your order in yet, not to worry you have until 10:50 pm (Pacific time) tonight (April 8th) to get FREE SHIPPING on your order.
Remember to stock up on the retiring colors because once they are gone they are gone. I haven't seen anything official yet but I have heard that some of the ink refills( Certainly Celery and Regal Rose) have already sold out. Here's a pretty little graphic to remind you of the colors that are retiring.
River Rock has never been one of my go to Neutrals. Since it is one of the retiring colors, I decided I needed to work with it and now am wondering why I never used it before?
I used a color combination of River Rock, Not Quite Navy and Tangerine Tango straight from the Color Coach. Love this color combination!
Stamps: By the Tide ((129120)
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Not Quite Navy, River Rock, Very Vanilla
Paper: River Rock, Not Quite Navy, Tangerine Tango, Very Vanilla
Punches: 1" circle, 3/4" circle
Big Shot: Happy Whale Clearlits Die, Honeycomb folder
Be sure to place your order here before 10:50 pm (PT) to get Free Shipping! If you need any assistance please call or email me.

I went to sleep thinking of Baja Breeze, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery...and woke up to a new refreshed color scheme! Don't we all love a new splash of color in our lives? Stampin' Up is doing just that with the Color Refresh starting today, April 4th!
Do some of the colors sound familiar? All but one (Smoky Slate-Neutrals) are either current In Colors or a returning In Color. There were also some rearranging within the color families.
What to do? If you love Bashful Blue, Baja Breeze, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery,Regal Rose, Riding Hood Red, Bravo Burgundy, Not Quite Navy, More Mustard, River Rock then be sure to order ink refills, card stock, ribbon, accessories before they are gone!
So, the question is do you order now or wait until April 6th-8th and take advantage of SU's FREE SHIPPING? Yes, free shipping April 6-8th! It is a tough decision. Whatever you decide please feel free contact me or place your order through my online store.

You wanna see something so cute and yet so functional? I am excited to show you the Sizzix Texture Boutique Embossing Machine, now that is a mouthful so between you and me we will call it "the Purse".
ADORABLE right?! This little cutie is available from Stampin' Up for a limited time only. Stampin' Up is offering a test run of these machines through its partnership with Sizzix. What does the"purse" do? The "purse" uses the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders aka the folders and embosses card stock, paper, metallic foil, and vellum with texture and designs . If you read my blog you know I use the folders a LOT! Here's a quick video that demonstrates how this machine works.
I love that it has a small footprint and won't take up much space on my crafting table and it is going to be great to have available for classes. Interested? This would make a great gift for your friends and a perfect stocking stuffer for yourself!
Stampin' Up! is offering the"purse" two ways:
Texture Boutique Bundle
Item 132700
$39.95 (a $45.85 value)
Includes
Texture Boutique Embossing Machine
Item 132657
$29.95
Includes
If you are interested in ordering do not delay because this is a test run and quantities are limited! You can order through my online store or contact me. Here is where you will find the Sizzix Texture Boutique Embossing Machine aka the "purse" and all the different folders.
Thank you and I will be back later with a sample or two!

I can hardly believe I have not shared a sample with the Blooming with Kindness stamp set! This set was deemed a must have for both the beautiful flower image and all those great saying! Before I go any further I need to remind you about the fantastic special for the month of July. When you place an order for $50 or more in the month of July you can purchase the Reason to Smile set for $5! Now it would have made more sense for me to share a sample from the Reason to Smile set today but that might be just a bit too logical for me. I will share more samples with you using the set in the days to come. Back to today's sample.
I know there are people who are not fans of the new In Color Summer Starfruit. I really like it paired with Midnight Muse so count me as more of a fan of the color. Can you see I used Summer Starfruit ink to stamp on the Soft Suede cardstock?
Stamps: Blooming wiht Kindness
Ink: Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit
Paper: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Midnight Muse, Midnight Muse In Color DSP
Big Shot: Tasteful Trim
Extras: Midnight Muse Stitched Satin Ribbon, Basic Pearls
Have a wonderful day and be sure to check out the Reason to Smile promotion, after all we can all use a Reason to Smile!

Yes, it is here! I have to tell you that this is both a happy and sad time for me. Sad to see some of the stamp sets leave the catalog but happy too because I know with all that empty space on my shelves there will be LOTS of room to fill it with new stamp sets from the upcoming catalog that will debut in June. I pulled out all my retiring stamps and will be focusing on using them over the next few weeks. Like any retirment list I question some of the sets that are on the list and also wonder why somethings aren't on the list. All I can say is I am glad I am not in charge of making up the list!
Here are the links to the lists and remember that the accesories list will be published on the 25th.
Retiring Stamp Set list Sortable Excel file
You can also click on the icon on the right hand side of the blog to access the "list"!
I will be back with my regularly planned post for the day, so please check back. Now go grab a cup of coffee and start making your list of all the sets you have been planning to buy and order them now.

Yes, I am back from Stampin' Up's Leadership meeting. It was a wonderful event and I had the best time. Stampin' Up! really knows how to show their demonstrators a good time. I met a lot of people and learned a lot from the presentations but also from talking with other demonstrators and you know me I like to talk. I missed most of the snow and ice that was happening back home in Washington. Hard to believe that Jim went cross country skiing around our neighborhood! It was a shock to see all the tree damage that occured during the storm.
I have got to share something with you.
I am pointing to the wrong name but look at the second name. That's me! I won a $100 Shopping Spree from Stampin' Up! Thanks Carolyn for the picture! I am pretty excited and am trying to decide exactly what I want to order. What would you order? So many possibilites!
I have a lot more to share with you so stay tuned. Oh yes, I picked a winner from the online orders placed while I was at Leadership and Laura S you are the winner of the January tutorials from Craft Project Central! I will send you an email with all the details.
Thanks for stopping by and checking in on me. Remember to sign up for my new mailing list just go to the upper left hand corner of the blog to sign up.
