While processing the impact of the Stampin' Up! Retiring List, I look through my catalogues and mark off the items that are going. This year there was one big surprise, and that was the retirement of a set that was not in the Annual or Occasions Catalogue. You see, normally sets that carry over from the Holiday Catalogue all appear in the next Annual Catalogue. This year however there was one notable exception, Wishing You Well. So before it's gone for good, I really wanted to remind you ... VIEW POST
DistINKtive Wreath Tag
Well all the snow we had last week is fast disappearing under the heavy rain we have today. It looks like it will be a green Christmas here in Nova Scotia. Are you ready for the big day yet?

Wishing You Well
One of the things I love about Stampin' Up! stamps is the detail they get in the images. That has never been more true than with their new DistINKtive stamps. These take the concept of detail to a whole new level with an almost photographic quality to the images. Wishing You Well is one such set and I must say that the catalogue doesn't really do it justice. I only received the set yesterday and decided that to use this week's CAS Colours & Sketches challenge for ... VIEW POST
