Hello stampers.  I just wanted to give everyone the latest updated list of retiring accessories.  This list is current as of today, but it changes as things sell out.  

 Retiring Accessories Current List as of June 11, 2011

Please note:  An "x" in the second-to-the-last column means that item is no longer available.

Click on SHOP NOW at this link:  www.donnas.stampinup.net to place an order anytime.  Get your favorite accessories before they sell out!  You can always e-mail me to place an order, too.

Finally, here's a sample of a favor I designed for my church's High Tea being held tomorrow.  Myself and others at the church made 60 of these the other day!  This favor features the Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper, which is being retired.  Get this gorgeous paper before it's all gone.

 

Here's another one, which features the hostess-only 6x6 paper pack, and also the new Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch and Swirls & Curls Verses hostess set, both from the Summer Mini Catalog.

 

Have a great weekend everyone.

Winner winner, chicken dinner!

OK, it's actually a gift certificate.  I just like saying "Winner winner, chicken dinner," lol.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who voted in the Pepsi Refresh Everything contest.  "Unofficially" (until the audit of the votes is finished on June 23rd) we got the $5,000 Pepsi grant! 

The winner of the drawing was Charlotte B.   Congrats, Char!

Also, thanks to your votes, I will be giving the orchestra teacher a check for $37.00 (one for each vote) to use toward purchasing instruments for low-income students to use in class. 

Again, thank you to everyone who helped us succeed in winning the grant.  We really appreciate you taking the time to vote.

I encourage you to continue to visit the www.refresheverything.com website again.  There's a whole new round of voting going on.   Whether it's an animal rescue project, putting computers in classrooms, helping another music program obtain needed instruments, or sending packages to our troops, I'm sure there are projects in the running that you'll find worthy of your vote.

Birthday Candles Card

I've seen various versions of a "big candle" card on other demos' blogs, and I've wanted to make one for a long time.  This morning I finally sat down and made one.  Hope you like it!

 
Cardstocks used:  Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black

The candles and flames are made from the Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper.  It is beautiful paper!  It's being retired and will only be available while supplies last, so order yours before they run out.    The Pumpkin Pie 5/8" grosgrain ribbon is also being retired. 

Other supplies:  Build-a-Blossom punch (flame). (This punch was in the Occasions Mini catalog, but it's a carryover, so you can still order it - item #121808), Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding (still available, item #122330), Large Tag punch, Bitty Buttons, Linen Thread.
