The Retired List and Cute Babies

I've been absent for a little while but it has been so gorgeous outside I have been playing with m sweet boys in the sunshine instead of crafting! The weather has turned colder and rainer this week and I have been back in the craft room a little bit. That and some great promotions going on.

DO you know the Retired List was released yesterday? And wow, is it ever big! There is a ton of things on there, some up to 50% off. I always get anxious when I see the retired list because sometimes some of my favourite products are leaving (I don't do well with change). But I have to remind myself (and you if you're anything like me) that it just means there are bigger, better and newer things coming along with the Annual Catalogue release on June 2nd!

Last week I whipped these baby cards up real quick, I made a boy one and a blue one. They're so cute and you can never have enough baby cards around (especially because right now I feel like my friends are having a major baby boom and I love it)! I recently acquired this set and I love it!

Ingredients
Stamps: Little Sunshine
Ink: Blushing Bride, Pool Party
Paper: Whisper White, Pool Party, Blushing Bride
Accessories: Heart Punch, Rhinestones, Bakers Twine, Word Bubble Framelits, Sweet Dreams Designer Buttons

Project Life by Stampin' Up!

 

 

 

Get ready for a scrapbooking revolution with Project Life! It helps busy people (so basically all of us) document life using photos and journaling in a quick, simple, and fabulous way. Stampin' Up! has partnered with Becky Higgins, creator of Project Life, to offer a complete line of elite products. 

"Becky explains, "It's called Project LIFE because it's about YOUR LIFE. Whatever your life is. Whatever your stage of life. Whatever your family circumstances. Whatever your lifestyle. Project Life is designed to help anyone and everyone get their pictures into a book."  In a nutshell, it's all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them." Let's Do It!!

 

 

 

 

You will be able to order a selection of Project Life products starting May 1. And with the launch of Stampin' Up!'s new annual catalogue on June 2, you'll be able to buy from the complete line of Project Life products!

• Coordination, coordination, coordination. You know Stampin' Up! does it best, and the Project Life line is no exception. 
• Our products center on things that matter most-weddings, babies, kids, and the everyday moments of getting together with your favorite people-all things that need to be remembered.
• Our card collections come without rounded corners so you can decide if you want to keep them that way (and match the corners of your photos as they come) or use our Project Life Corner Punch to round them out. 
• Our card collections come packaged in an exclusive storage system that holds all your Project Life supplies on your desk: cards, journaling pens, photos, accessory packs, stamp sets, and more.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE EXCITING DETAILS!

 

 

 

Eeek! I am squealing with excitement! I cannot wait to share this all with you! I have been lacking in the scrapbooking department lately, and I think this could be the answer to my (and your) time management problems! Cute, stylish, fun and easy!

 

If you would like to become a member of my team and purchase your project life products early (like NOW) purchase the starter kit for just $125! Ask me for details.

Photopolymer Stamps

Stampin' Up! has searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And they've found it. Stampin' Up! is excited to announce that they now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to the stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. Stampin' Up!'s top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of their firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options. 

What makes them so great?

• They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 
• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 
• Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to the clear blocks.
• They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. 
• I could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.

Want more Tips? Take a Class!
Stampin' Up!'s online class-Seeing the Possibilities (item 134532)-provides all the basics you need to make the most of the newest photopolymer stamp offerings: Show & Tell 1 and 2 Stamp Sets. Take this class to discover how quickly and easily you can line up the stamped images for precision placement, achieve just the right ink coverage, combine images together exactly where you want them.well you get the idea. The possibilities are endless!


Important Notes!

• Photopolymer stamps are being offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, Stampin' Up! hops to release more photopolymer sets over the coming months.
• All photopolymer stamp sets will be packaged in a cello bag with insert, but don't forget they store perfectly in the clear cases (which you can order
