Tamarra's Stamping Spot

Hand Drawn Bundle and a Special

Ok, I am sure if you have the new catty you have seen the cute new Hostess Bundle. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. Probably because of the cupcake...LOL but still had to have it. SO, I got it during pre orders time (one of the many bonuses to being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Which by the way for those of you who haven't heard already the Demonstrator kit is on sale during Sell-A-Bration for 15% off the regular Price. Yep, that's right it is only $169 to become a Demonstrator right now. Need more information? Drop me an email and I will get you some information about it. Just a little plug.              

Ok so on to the Card. As usual all the items used are from Stampin' Up! unless other wise noted. 

Stamp Set: It's A Loop Thing and Sincere Salutations

Card Stock: Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Whisper White and Hand Drawn DSP

Sizzix and Stampin' Up!

Ok I know you all think "I have fallen off my rocker" so to speak. Or at least you do if you haven't heard about the new partnership between the 2. As you know if you attend any of my classes it is very rare that I use anything at class that isn't Stampin' Up!. Well, now I on my Wish List is the new Big Shot Die Cut Machine that is offered from Stampin' Up! we also have exclusive Dies for it. Oh I thought I was in trouble the first day when I flipped through the ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL Idea Book & Catalog and then on the 2nd day they announced the partner ship with Sizzix and I knew I was in for more trouble then I care to even admit. My Wish List is HUGE now. So do you want a sneak peek? It will be available later in early Fall if I remember correctly. So add it to your wish lists and I will keep you posted on its release date.

So are you as excited as I am about it??? I love the Pennant. And just think of how many things you can make with it!!! Christmas, Birthdays, Party's.... anything really. And then look at the cute little baskets on the table top. And the little flowers down in front!!!And then there is all the other dies that are coming out soon too. Oh I can hardly wait. Whoo hoo SU!!! Ok stay tuned for more information about upcoming specials that start on Monday!!!

REMINDER: Sunday is the last day to place your orders, and pay for them, on anything on the retiring list so get your orders in ASAP!   ~~~ Pajama Club ladies this means if you haven't ordered the items on your list that will be retiring you need to get your orders in early.~~~

Thanks for stopping by! ~Tamarra

Ok so the retiring accessories list has come out and along with it they are offereing some of them at a discount. How totally cool is that? Not only do you get to stock up on some of your favorite accessories before the retire? You also get to get some of them at a discount!!!!!! I know there are some that I am going to have to get before they are gone and I am sure some of you will too! The Quantities of these are limited so get your orders in as soon as possible to assure that you get yours. I will try to update the list each night while I am home, but as you know I will be off to convention next week so it will have to wait while I am gone. So now onto the lists.....

Ok I have played around with this for about 30+ and can't figure out how to get it to link the flier here. And since Peter is in Austria for the week I will just give you the link to go check them out at the Stampin Up! website.
