HUGE clearance sale!! Clear stamps discontinued...

Goooooooood Morning all!!!!

got some news to share with you today....

If you pop over to the shop, you can pick yourself up some serious bargains on clear stamps!!

After ALOT of serious thinking I've decided to have a big clear out of all the old clear stamp ranges...

Digital is certainly becoming alot more popular at the moment, and I just feel it simplifies things alot, if I try to become [almost] ALL DIGITAL...

I'm keeping the new sentiment set, as I feel sentiments work better in stamps, and will probably expand the sentiment line to work with future digi stamp releases, but all the old From the heart Elves and Pixies, and Sharing Sherbet stamps will be discontinued.

So go and grab youself a bargain!!

Character stamps are just £1.39

And accessory stamps and sets are just £1.09

I will also be removing all the old decoupage over the next couple of days...

Its weird letting these go, as these were what I started the shop with, but they really arent ME anymore!

THE GOOD NEWS IS..... I will be redrawing some of the Clear stamp images to release gradually as digi stamps... and I have plans to convert some of the old decoupage characters into digis too.... WHOOOOHOOOOO!!!

so you haven't seen the last of them... infact you may even see more of them ;)

watch this space!!

A couple of reminders before you run away to grab your bargains....

A Special Edition Digi for a special cause... please help raise funds for the YAA..

Keep up to date with fundraising here...

PLEASE READ EMMAS BLOG HERE BEFORE READING THIS POST

Help raise funds for a special cause ...

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

YAA Registered Charity No. 1084305.

My Friend and Design Team member Emma tragically lost her Dad 'Ronnie' in September 2009 after an accident at work.

I've copied this information from Emmas blog...

"My Dad died following an accident at work on the 15th September 2009 when a piece of equipment fell on him causing a massive head injury.

He was one of the most amazing people you could ever meet, to us he was a husband, dad, grandad and great grandad. Our hero and our rock....he was there for us no matter what.

In Dad's memory my family and I are fundraising for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance who transferred him to the Hull Royal Infirmary.

The YAA do the most amazing job and its down to their service that many people lives are saved. Dad was at the hospital within 90 minutes of the accident happening...this time includes the care he recieved from work collegues and the ambulance service."

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance are an independant Charity and depend on donations to keep their life saving service running...

To help Emma and her family raise funds for the charity, I have designed a special edition Digital image in memory of 'Ronnie'

Emma shared a memory with me of her Dad relaxing in front of the TV after a hard day at work, remote in one hand, cup of tea in the other, and usually a pack of biscuits and a bag of sweets...

Click here to buy this image

The Digi Costs £1.50, and the ENTIRE amount will be donated to the YAA...

You can also make a donation using the link on the right... by visiting Emmas Blog or directly at the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Website

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN...

As a thank you for helping raise funds, Emma is running a competition on her blog, and you have the chance to win an AMAZING prize donated by Simon Says Stamp...

A SET OF COPICS!!

Plus

FABULOUS additional prizes!!

You can find the details of how to enter on Emmas Blog...

Thankyou in advance for your support...
