Missing in action...but hope to be back soon

Missing in action...but hope to be back soon

• Tuesday 12 April 2016

I've been missing in action for a couple of weeks - it's been crazy.  Our house went up for sale last week so we've been working to get it ready for that.  It's now sold - just took 1 week, so I guess the hard work paid off in the end.  The down side is that my craft room got packed up and I haven't had a chance to do much.

I spent last weekend at a lovely crafting retreat hosted by my friends Liane and Rose.  What a lovely weekend to spend being creative and catching up with friends and meeting new friends.  I was pretty productive - got all of my recent trip pictures into a Project Life album, got my swap cards ready for April, finished a Paper Pumpkin kit and then spent some time playing with Zentangle!

I wanted to share some of the amazing Fancy Fold cards I received from some friends as part of a swap I'm in.  I posted my card previously. Check it out here.

First the card from Colleen Vassos.  I love this fold and of course love the butterflies!

Next the amazing card from Diane Evans.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  The black and crumb cake are stunning together!

Finally this amazing card from Ginny Duncan.  I love this fold and of course love the Botanical Builder Framelits.

Here are this week's specials.  Remember, there will be weekly specials only until the 18th. So this is the second to last one.

We're coming close to the end of the Occasions Catalogue and also the Annual Catalogue.  The list of items that will be retiring will be out soon.  If you've had some items on your wish list for a while, don't delay in ordering them.  If they are announced as retiring, they will likely sell out quickly.  Don't forget we get 5 new In Colours with the new catalogue, but that also means that 5 retire - Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey and Tangelo Twist.  The ink pads, cardstock, ink refills and markers as well as coordinating embellishments and ribbons will all retire.  In past years once the retired list is announced, all of these sell out VERY quickly!  

Happy stamping!
