Goodbye Holiday mini...and dormant stamps

Well, we've known this day was coming, the day we say goodbye to the current holiday mini catalog. Monday January 4th is the last day you can order anything from it's luscious pages. Sad, I know, but if you hurry, you can still get you hands on some goodies and maybe if you start now, you'll be finished with all your holiday projects without totally losing it.

In other news, there are some stamps that have been on the "dormant" list since the last catalog came out that are also retiring on Monday. Scroll down to the bottom to take a look. I have a couple of these stamp sets and I thought, as a nice farewell, I'd post a couple projects.

This card uses the adorable and oh-so-versatile Garden Greetings set. I'm sad to see it go. It had so many fun uses and the words that are included are dynamite. So long....

And this next card is an invitation I made for my Mom in October for a Halloween party. Cool right? This set, Grand Soiree, totally lends itself to the creepy. I'll miss it. I was totally going to throw a Halloween party someday and use this too. Farewell...

So, with that, here it is. Alvetersain, adieu...

The following stamp sets will be discontinued on January 4, 2010.
