...August sneaky release, Cicely and Gracie!

Helen - yep, WMS is a Spellbinders preferred partner company and the lovely folks at Spellbinders were very kind and sent me a little batch of upcoming dies....guess they know how I like to make stamps to match!! lol!!

DOH! I am a nit, I sent out the newsletter last night with the wrong date in it!!!! It said that I was releasing the new sets on July 1st - that should have been August 1st!! I decided to post here rather than send out more emails, as i sure hate to be an email pest...apologies...

Good morning!! Lots going on here today so I'll get right to it!

Today we're sneaking out two new Halloween sets, Cicely at Halloween and Gracie at Halloween. I'm keen to see how folks like these as I have planned more of these vintage style girl stamps planned.

Also we begin our August SOAP event today, it's our Stamp Of Approval Parade and the ladies have been creating up a storm behind the scenes to bring you even more ideas that you can use with the stamps that we released in July and which you might even have in your hands right now!

we're taking another look at:
Cameo to Go
Cameo Creations
Ovals, Classic Frames
Big Day Essentials
Big Day Additions
Eat Cake
You're Lovely
and Flourishes – Scallops and Dots

and on the last day of Soap we'll be having another look at one of my very favourite sets,  Afternoon Tea.

So, off you pop and enjoy the inspiration, take your notebook and keep an eye on designs that you like, we'll be running a CASE competition after the SOAP event, and we'll be inviting you to case your fave DT card. Here are the DT links!






Now, if you have called by to see the new stamps, here they are! These will be available in the store at around 9:00am this morning my time. 

Important shipping info - please note that from the 4th August, ie this Thursday, I will be taking two weeks off to spend a little time with my wee folks and so there will be no shipping during this period

Orders placed up until the night of the 3rd of August will ship as normal, but orders placed after this time will not ship until after the 20th.

I will not be available to answer queries either. I will catch up with all orders and correspondence after the 20th August. My thanks in advance for your understanding.
