Hello Spring

Hello there stampers!

I hope you all had a good weekend!  Mine was good, I managed to spend a good chunk of time crafting both Saturday and Sunday.

Before I get to today's post, if you are waiting for the Butterfly thinlits to come back in stock, your wait is almost over.  Stampin' Up! is expecting to receive a shipment of them around April 8.  Hooray!

Sale-a-bration ends March 31!  Get your favorites now before they are gone!

My card this week is for Freshly Made Sketches.  This week's sketch challenge, FMS179 is by Amy.

MDS is being phased out:  Stampin' Up! will no longer offer MDS or it's professional print products.  Downloads, support, and print services will be available only until May 31, 2015.  If you have purchased MDS downloads, please download them now as they will not be available after May 31.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Back ordered items:  Have you heard about the west coast dock workers labor issues?  Even though an agreement has been reached, the back log of shipments to be delivered is considerable.  This issue has impacted Stampin' Up! as well.  For the time being, products that are out of stock and are shipped from over seas are not orderable.
