Retiring Stamp Sets - Going Out in Style

This list is finally out and now you can access it on Stampin' Up!'s website at www.stampinup.com. Just click on the link for "Specials & Promotions" and it will take you to a page where you can access the list by page number of the current Idea Book & Catalog, or as an alphabetical listing. It will then give you an Adobe Acrobat page that you can print out for your very own.

Check the list carefully, because once these stamp sets are retired, they will be gone forever. What does that mean to you? Well, if you have placed a certain stamp set(s) on your Wish List, you only have until June 30 to contact me to place your order!
