Arrrrggggghhhhh!!!!

Hello stampers!

 If you were placing an order on Tuesday, my hope is that you didn't have as many problems as me!  It literally took me 11 hours to complete my order, so I feel your pain and frustration!!!  And of course, during that time, 2 of the items I had on my list sold out!  I told myself I really didn't need those things anyhow, but darn it!  Hang in there,  Stampin' Up! worked all day to restore the ordering website.  I checked it sporadically throughout last evening and it's working much better now!


At any rate, I've added a ton of information on the retiring stamps and accessories under the Retiring Products tab.  And there is also a ton of information available about MDS under the MDS tab.  Check them out!

 And be sure to check out the Clearance Rack Wednesday morning.  It has been updated with new items!

 After all that "business" I have a card for you today.  We had another family birthday recently, this time it was my brother-in-law,  And here is the card I made for him:

Supply List:

Extra Large Oval Punch #119859

****************

Butterfly Thinlits update!!!  Have you been waiting - and waiting - and waiting to order the Butterfly Thinlits?  They are back in stock!  And you will rewarded for your patience.  See below for the rewards available:

  2. Buy any of the Butterflies Thinlits Bundles at the already-discounted price and choose one of three FREE Sale-A-Bration items (only available while supplies last)!

Time to Celebrate!

Greetings stampers!

 It sure is chilly here in these parts!  Brrr!!!  We even had to turn our furnace back on last night!  And I put my house plants outside on Sunday because we had our carpets cleaned on Monday.  I sure hope I don't have to bring them back in this week!

 The retiring products list will be released by the time this blog is delivered to you on Tuesday.  I know there will be several products I'll be sad to see retire!  I will update the blog with the retiring products as soon as I can on Tuesday.  Order early for the best chance to get the products you want!

 My niece celebrated her birthday last week.  I am sharing the card I made for her here today.

With Sympathy

Hello stampers!

 I hope you had a nice weekend!  Saturday was gorgeous here, Sunday was rainy and cooler weather has moved in.

Since it wasn't really "outdoors" weather here on Sunday, I spent some time making a card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge, FMS182.  This week's sketch is from Rita:

An Open Heart

Hello stampers!

 Can you believe it?  There is another update on the Butterfly Thinlits:

We have received notice from our supplier that the container with the Butterflies Thinlits Dies was finally unloaded from the ship; however, there is a shortage of trucks, which has delayed the container being picked up. We have secured a truck to pick up the container, and, as of now, it is scheduled to be delivered to Stampin' Up! on Friday. We will post an update as soon as they are available.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we continue to await their arrival!

But, if you are waiting to order these, the specials will still be available as soon as the Thinlits are in stock!

 For today's card, I recently saw the background technique for this card online and had to give it a try.   Take an acrylic block, color it with a the Stampin' Write markers of your choice, spritz with water and "stamp" on cardstock.  So easy, and every background is uniquely yours!
