One of my customers asked me the other day...
"Year After Year - Already?" Meaning..."I can't believe that it's on the retired list already!" Yep - that's correct.
Admittedly, I didn't care for the stamp set when it first came out. But I did borrow some images from my downline, Dave. I found that I enjoyed playing around with the set. The images are quite easy to use and offer a great variety for use throughout the year - hence the name!
"Year After Year" can be found on page 60 of the Stampin' Up! Spring Summer Collection. Only available until August 10, 2008. So order yours now!

This card is my favorite from the set. It was one my swap cards from last year's convention. Speaking of swap cards - I've got to getting going on my swap cards for this year's convention at the end of the month...yikes!
Watch for more "Year after Year" samples.

I love this card. I actually cased it from a past Stampin' Up! Idea Book & catalog. I changed the colors and the stamp set, but kept the layout the same. I love that about the Idea Book & Catalog. Copying is encouraged!
It uses the soon to be retired Polka Dots & Petals stamp set. The punched flowers are from the retired Spring Flower Bouquet Punch. Colors: Old Olive, Regal Rose, So Saffron.

One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is FREE stamp sets.
There are MANY ways for SU Demonstrators to earn FREE stamps...getting hostess benefits on your own personal orders, accomplishing various goals throughout the year, earning GREAT REWARDS (a program to earn free Stampin' Up! merchandise) and much more.
Then there are the times when a FREE stamp set just shows up at your door - surprise, surprise...it's a gift from Shelli Garnder, CEO & Co-founder of Stampin' Up! Just a little thank you! Ain't that cool?
Well - "Polka Dots & Paisley" was just one of those stamps sets - A gift from Shelli! I put mine to good use and made tons of samples with my free stamp set.
Below are a couple of samples using "Polka Dots & Paisley" found on page 86 in the Stampin' Up! 2008 Spring Summer Collection.
