Stampin’ Up! just announced that they were able to come to a special agreement with the producers of the Stampin’ Around wheels – and ALL retiring wheels will be available until June 30th! Yay, SU!! Yes, even the ones that were listed as "supply exhausted". Woohoo! Please note that there may be some backorders, but you will still receive the wheel in question. So feel free to go over the retired wheels list at your leisure….but not too leisurely, as after June 30th, they’re gone forever!

May heralds the arrival of Stampin’ Up!’s Retired list… in the meantime…
There’s another great special! Palette O’Prints! For every $50 order (pre tax/shipping) you are eligible to purchase this 6×6 sampler pad of new designer paper – and let me tell you – it’s FANTASTIC. Multiples of these double sided papers in multiple colours – enough to use some & still be able to hoard!
Until tomorrow,
Linda

It’s April – and this is no joke – there are some great specials! The first 2 are offered by Stampin’ Up! Share What You Love When you purchase your starter kit in April, you’ll also get two of the new hostess sets from the new catalogue! One of these sets is a new "bundle" that includes 2 jumbo wheels PLUS a stamp set – so…2 wheels, 2 stamp sets PLUS all the other fantastic items in the starter kit! The other special is Say It With Stamps – six sentiment sets (say that six times quickly!) for 20% off regular price! Also, a heads up on the retirement list – 2 of these sets are retiring, to be gone forever at the end of June, so grab them while you can!
I am personally offering an April special to celebrate my 5 years with Stampin’ Up! During April, I will double your free hostess merchandise benefits. For example, If your workshop or class sales (before shipping & tax) total $450, you normally earn $50 in free merchandise of your choice. For April, I will make that a total of $100 in free merchandise! This is one way for me to say thank you. The other way I am saying "thanks" will be an ongoing one – I am launching my customer rewards program. Each order you place will get you one point for each dollar (not including tax/shipping costs). Five hundred points gets you $20 free merchandise. Contact me for details….I’m starting the tracking now!!

I was recently given the opportunity to try out a couple of products, in exchange for a review on my blog. Much as I love SU products, it’s always good to see what else is out there. (besides, it was a free sample! LOL). The two products were UHU glue roller & Creqtive Scrapbooker pen – liquid glue. My first instinct was to try the roller, because that’s usually my adhesive type of choice – dry & neat! Pros: It was dry & neat! I found that the adhesive held well & applied well. Con: The format I received is a disposable vs refillable. Maybe it’s from living in BC for those 8 or so years, but I can’t say that I’d purchase this item, solely for that reason, especially when there are refillable alternatives on the market. That being said, there is a refillable glue roller, so that would be the route to go, imo! The card that I made with this adhesive is under the March 1st post – the long notes card.
The other adhesive was a scrapbooker’s liquid glue. I must say that I am not a liquid glue kind of girl. (see comment under above adhesive – liquid glue is not dry, and, at least not for me, neat). That being said, it did apply easily, with a neat little chisel tip. However, messy girl strikes again and I ended up with glue on my finger tips which tended to transfer to other items or leave my finger tips stuck together… It does hold the paper well, but did not do well with the beads. I used it on the lion card that I posted back at the beginning of March. I’m now finding little beads all over the place. To be fair, though, the tube says nothing about anything other than paper, and it did do extremely well with this. It does dry a little stiff, however, so I’m not sure about “crackability” at some point. Wait, I will try in the name of testing. OK No cracking! So, if you’re constructing something out of paper/cardstock and want to be sure there’s good body to it, try the liquid glue if you’re up to it!
