As you know, I have been in the very priveleged position of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in both the US and the UK.  So, this year I get to experience the joy of new catalog launches twice!

We had the new US catalog launch in July and now the UK 2010-11 Stampin' Up! Catalog is almost here!

That means though that I also have to say goodbye to the 2009-10 catalog, twice, and some of the fantastic items in it.

To celebrate this last chance, we are showcasing some projects made with retiring/last chance products.  Hopefully you will have reached here from Debbis blog, but don't worry, I am only 2nd in the hop so follow on from here then pop back to Debbis!

I love the stamp set 'Bloomin' with Beauty' (112606: Page 45 IBC UK: £22.95), it can be coloured in to match any colour scheme.  We did this card at a workshop I did in Inverness not long before we moved to the States.

For the background I scrunched up some cling film (Saran Wrap to my US readers) and dipped into the Chocolate Chip ink...then dabbed it all over the card stock.

All of the following are used on this card....and all are retiring and are 'whilst stocks last'!!
