Today’s the day that I get to see the new 2015-2016 Annual Catalogue. I should add that it’s not just for my exclusive viewing, all Stampin’ Up! demonstrators will be able to see it online on the demonstrator website. What’s more, I’ll also be able to see the products that I can order as of 5 May as part of our sneak peek.

Did you know that if you join Stampin’ Up! on or after 5 May you can include items from the sneak peek in your starter kit? Tempting, I know.

I will be posting sneak peek ideas once I get my mitts on some of the new products but in the meantime, I have some more ideas using Retiring products.

I am really sad that I didn’t pick up and use my Beach House Washi Tape before I found out that it was retiring. But, now that I have, I am determined to use it all. That may be a little ambitious (there’s 4.6m on each of the three rolls), but I will give it a go.

Here’s the card that I’ve made using the Label Something stamp set and the washi tape.

I also used part of a doily that I had left lying around and folded it slightly because it would otherwise have been a little too big for what I wanted. And, for once, I’ve not been tempted to add any bling to the card.

I’m off now to finish the big clear out of my old craft room, so I can turn it back into a bedroom. It’s the only way I can stop myself from checking the demo web-site every 5 minutes to see if anything has been posted.
