Stampin' Up! Stocking Punch NOT carrying over, Carryover List Avaialble Now, Clearance Blitz and Project Photos

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE to all my Stamping Friends, I hope you have been enjoying a wonderful holiday season, celebrating with your family and friends.  That’s what we’ve been doing here so I have lots of things to share with you on this last day of 2011.
BIG NEWS – THE STAMPIN' UP! STOCKING PUNCH will NOT CARRY OVER to the next catalog. 

That’s right, Stampin’ Up! has decided not to carry over the Stocking Builder Punch (item 124095) from the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog into the next Idea Book & Catalog. Instead they will offer other great designs in its place--not to mention a trendy, new design planned for next holiday season. It is only available until January 4th and ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST so if you want it, please get it now.

Once the current inventory of this punch has been depleted, it will no longer be available for purchase. We hope many Stampin' Up! stockings will adorn cards and brighten holiday projects this season and look forward to seeing what you create with the next seasonal design.

THE CARRYOVER LIST IS AVAILABLE – Some of the fantastic products featured in the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog are still available. You can see the products here. 

CLEARANCE BLITZ – New items have been just added to the Clearance Rack. You can only purchase these items on-line but you can do this very easily at www.roseelleneastman.stampinup.net and clicking the ‘shop now’ button. You can order regular items as well as Clearance  Blitz items on the same order.

I will be placing an order this evening so if you’d like to get a few things and don’t have access to a computer to place the order, or don’t want to use a credit card online, you can contact me and I can arrange the order.

Now that we’ve gone over the REALLY IMPORTANT stuff, let’s catch up on a few projects from December.  Here are some photos of some treat bags I made for the girls teachers. Some were for a church based preschool and some were for public school teachers.

Do you think they look like pencils?

And here is a little snippet of how we spent the tail end of December 2012.

Thank YOU for making my 2011 so great. I hope you have a wonderful New Year Celebration, however you celebrate, and I wish you a fantastic 2012 full of happiness and joy.
