Remember these products will only be available while stocks last or until 30th September.

.

I will be checking tonights order carefully and if you have ordered an item which has been reduced further, I will issue a refund with your delivery.

.

With even more 25% and 50% bargains, it really is worth another look. Some that were 25% are now 50%.

Tomorrow I am attending an SU Training evening so look forward to finding out more hot off the press information for you all.

Bye for now.

SO EXICITED ...to meet ........ Tim Holtz

Well what can I say .....

.

For those of you who know Tim Holtz' fantastic work will realise what a privilege it is to be able to meet with him in person for a Workshop in Milton Keynes when he visits the UK next February.

.

Tickets went on sale at 8pm Monday evening through http://blog.paperartsy.co.uk/2010/09/artsycrafts-class-with-who.html and Angie and I have both had our tickets confirmed so we have two very happy little crafting bunnies !!

.

If you are interested, take a look but I would expect that both days will probably sell out very quickly.

.

Although I do have lots of his products prior to joining Stampin' Up!, I find that lots of his styles can be used with my Stampin' Up! ink pads and refill inks so looking forward to sharing some of these with you all next Spring.

SUNDAY BLOG HOP - Retirement list

Hi crafters

.

Today I have joined in a quick blog hop with some fellow SU Demos to showcase some of the stamps and colours that are retiring from the Stampin' Up! catalogue at the end of September. Many of the items have a discount of 25% or 50% and there are some real bargains to be had.

.

You may have just joined me from http://www.stampingaway.co.uk/ so welcome to you and hope you enjoy your hop around our blog sites.

.

Here I have used Taken With Teal and Brocade Blue. You may have seen an earlier post where I used these colours with Night of Navy with my shaving cream technique. Here I have used Bloomin' with Beauty to make a bookmark.

.

.

Here is a close up of the clouds made from sticking together a few scallop circles and oval scallops and sponging - I hope you can see better on the close up.

.

.

This is the back of the bookmark, using a template on ILWS which I believe originated from Caz. I will shortly be updating to the 2011 calendar.

.

.

Now, if you are viewing this on Sunday morning, Angie and I will be attending the Stamp With Us weekend. The idea for covering this notebook came from our last Stamp With Us weekend back in March 2010. Here I have used the Bride DSP with Brocade Blue ink using a brayer. The shiny pattern embossed into the surface resists the ink and looks great in any colour. It is such a shame that the Bride, Groom and Bridesmaid DSP are retiring as they have been so popular. At the bottom I have wrapped a piece of Brocade Blue ribbon and used a greeting from Circle of Friendship which is also retiring.

STAMPIN' UP ! RETIREMENT LIST

.

So here it is ... the list of items retiring from the current catalogue and mini catalogue to make way for the new BIGGER catalogue launching on 1st October.

.

There are 7 pages of items for you to browse, many of which have 25% and 50% discounts. Unfortunately I cannot manage to get it uploaded here. Anyone wishing for me to post or email to you, please contact me.

.

As a Demo, we get a chance to see the catalogue online and yes, I can confirm it is bigger at 118 pages and loads more stash to collect. There are many more punches and we also have clear mounted stamps which are cheaper and take up less storeage. There is mixed feeling on these but I will be able to show you some of each come 1st October so you can make up your own minds.

.

Please give me a call on 07806 616704 or email sroberts07@btinternet.com to place an order or book a party and reep the benefits.

.

Happy shopping.

BACK FROM HOLS

Hi crafters

David and I are back from our hols in Exmore and Cornwall with the Goldwing Trike. Needless to say those of you following the weather will realise it wasn't the best weather for camping.

We had wonderful sunshine in Minehead and moved to Wadebridge in Cornwall on Tuesday. We went to Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant on Wednesday and luckily had arranged to get a taxi both ways. Here is my David with his Singapore Chilli Crab - a stir fried whole crab with garlic, ginger, chilli and coriander - the menu said "Very much those who love eating with their hands and getting gloriously messy". The waitress advised him she would bring him 'tools' to help him.

Mine was the Indonesian Seafood Curry with Monkfish, Squid and Tiger Prawns and was wonderful !!.

.

On Thursday I took the trike on my own down to St Austell to see my fellow SU Demo Abi and spent a few hours crafting. Take a look at her blog http://cornwallcraftystamper.blogspot.com/ to see the photo she took of me and what the people of Devon and Cornwall call tourists !!

.

The rest of the week at the British Goldwing Treffen the weather improved and even interspersed with some really hot sunshine and excellent weather for our journey back without a single shower.
