May Specials!

Well, first, let me apologize for being completly absent. With the new baby, and the move, have been much busier than I thought I would. Amazing just how much of your time such a little person can demand!

But, I hope to get back into stamping and, more importantly, scrapbooking baby photos come May! And what better way to get back into the swing of things with a fabulous May offer from Stampin'Up!

Buy 3 packs of designer series paper, get a fourth free! This amazing offer from SU includes all the papers in the main catalogue, the retired ones at the back of the current catalogue, AND the ones in the new mini!!!

Now I really have no excuse to not get back into scrapbooking with this special!

And, as May is my birthday month, I am offering a special of my own - %10 off Stampin'Up scrapbooking albums or refills AND free shipping on orders of £60 or more!

Now you dont have any reason to not start scrapbooking either! Contact me on stamps @ continuingtime.com to place your order!

Cheers,
Kairn
