NEW Clearance Rack Items!

THE STAMPIN' UP! CLEARANCE RACK has been restocked with fabulous, discontinued ribbon, designer paper, punches, embellishments and more–at BIG discounts. These items are available at this special pricing just in time for the holidays featuring Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas product! Clearance merchandise may only be purchased through an on-line order (it is not available at Stamp Shoppe, Creative Tuesdays or via any other order type) and is only available while supplies last. CLICK HERE TO SHOP ONLINE (then click on "Clearance Rack" on the left).

Here's a peek at some of my favorite Clearance Rack items…

Black Flourish Jewels: I made a ton of Halloween Decorations last year, and these were on them! I just took them all out of the box and put them back up for this year, and was remembering these jewels fondly… they really jazzed up the projects and I missed them! Now they're available on the Clearance Rack for just $1.95!

Real Red 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon: This was by far my favorite color and most used of this ribbon type… it was PERFECT for Christmas (had the candy cane look!) and just a good, solid color in general. I miss it! It's now available in the Clearance Rack for just $3.99! Normally priced at $9.99, this is an AMAZING deal….. .40 a yard for a high quality ribbon!

Small Oval Punch: I was so surprised that this punch retired — it lines up beautifully with our existing medium oval punch, as the medium oval punch gives the small oval punch the perfect border. Originally $15.95, this punch is now just $6.39 on the Clearance Rack – a 60% savings!!

Retirement Wishes Scrapbook

May is National Scrapbooking Month, so it's only fitting that I actually have a Scrapbook Project to share with you! My Mother in Law asked me to make a blank Scrapbook for a lady that she works with who is retiring. She wanted a poem that she had picked out to be the front page, and then wanted the book filled with minimally decorated pages that had lots of room for people to write her letters as a keepsake. The woman who was being given the book is an avid birdwatcher, so the paper and big shot die was picked out to go along with that.

As always, I have a terrible time getting good scrapbook pictures!

I decorated the album with some ribbon…

The first Poem Page..

One of the layouts for people to sign…

Another layout for people to sign – there were 25 pages like these – I just alternated between Garden Green and Certainly Celery for the background, and changed the Designer Paper strips from page to page…

WHAT TO ORDER:

Certainly Celery Cardstock (105125), Garden Green Cardstock (102584), Tempting Turquoise Cardstock (102067), So Saffron Cardstock (105118), Very Vanilla Cardstock (101650), Flock Together Designer Series Paper (114018), Tempting Turquoise 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (109038), Masterpiece Ribbon Originals (116230), Orchard Ribbon Originals (116232), Big Shot Die Cut Machine (113439) and Birds and Branches Decorative Strip Die (114529)

I have a bazillion e-mails to catch up on, a Newsletter that is very much past due on being written, a Team Time tomorrow evening to prepare in full for, and a blog that needs some massive updating!!!

RETIRING STAMPIN' UP! COLORS ARE SELLING OUT!!!!!!!!!!

That's right! We have surpassed Stampin' Up!'s Expectations with how much we would want to stock up on Retiring Colors.

You may be asking yourself: didn't Stampin' Up! anticipate increased demand on retiring colors? The quick answer is yes, they did. The long answer is a bit more complicated. They base their forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information for previous color transitions, as well as current buying behaviors. Obviously, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone.

For re-inkers in retiring colors, as they run out, they will be placed on backorder status and those orders will be filled as quickly as they receive the product.

Card stock presents a bit larger problem, as the process of ordering and producing new paper from the paper mills is very involved, and they can't order significant quantities at this point in time without putting the production of the new colors in jeopardy. To help them be able to provide you with the card stock in the retiring colors for as long as possible, they will be substituting textured paper for some of the smooth colors–including card stock in 8 ½ x 11 as well as 12 x 12–where the smooth is no longer available. They realize that this is an extraordinary situation, and that this solution may not be ideal for everyone. However, they hope this will help you get the retiring colors you want for as long as possible.

SO – all of that being said, I would *highly* recommend you get your orders in NOW for retiring cardstock colors to ensure that you get the colors that you want while you still can! Some colors may retire before June 1st, and on June 1st all retiring colors will only be available while supplies last – which in most cases will be a VERY short amount of time, maybe even minutes.

To place your order for retiring colors today, contact me at alystamps@gmail.com or 585-360-2667 if you need help! Or, you can click "Shop Now" in the Upper Right Hand Corner and place your order directly online today!
