As I am addicted to paper, I think it is important to always have a good supply of DSP on hand. Sometimes it's that little sliver or square of DSP that makes the card. All current DSP is on the retiring list. Some of it is on sale. But truthfully, SU DSP is always a great buy - quality paper, double sided, strong, smooth colorful with a capital C, and occasionally with a glint of foil.
Stampin' Up! just really makes the best papers. Buy it and use it!
Do you know where to find the Retiring List? From my website www.upallnightstampin.blogspot.com, select Shop Now and then Retiring. But hurry, product is going fast.
Shopping is one of my least favorite activities, chores, actually. Clothes shopping is the worst. I need a personal shopper to help me with color and separates and sizes. Sometimes my daughters will help, thankfully. They are usually brutally honest, and they are a good influence coaxing me to spend money on myself.
But how frustrating to find skirts and no suitable tops. Or need a medium and all left are XS and XL. I just hate it!
I will, however, shop for the grandchildren's clothes. Money is no object then and the sweeter the outfit the better. Even boy's clothes are fun to shop for ~ plaids and sweaters, sun hats and swim suits. Love it!
Give me an antique shop or a bookstore and I am in heaven ~ or used books in the antique shop or antique mall. Seriously, are there two more alluring words than antique mall?! Perhaps tea room, but it's close.
I can say that I have absolutely no difficulty shopping in the Stampin' Up! catalog. Do you? Didn't think so!
You only have until May 31 to shop from the Annual and Occasions catalogs, along with the retiring list and the clearance rack. I would find it hard to believe that you have bought everything from your wish list. Do check your list against the retiring list first. If an item is retiring, jump on it! Please don't wait to see if it will be discounted.
IF you do indeed have all that you need, great, because there will be one pre-release from the new annual catalog coming in May!! I will have all the details soon.
In the meantime, check your supply of DSP. Don't have any? Choose a package and begin to use it. Your card bases are usually 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Cut a piece of DSP 4 X 5 1/4 room layer on the base. Then design and stamp on a piece of Whisper White cut to 3 3/4 x 5 ... layer it. Add some twine or ribbon or a few sequins... let that gorgeous DSP shine!
Now, if you need a personal shopper for Stampin' Up!, I have got you covered! Allow me to get you started with stamps, inks and PAPER! And now before everything is gone!
