that is now being retired and will force your hand. I have had my eye on Cold Play for over a year and I can't believe they are retiring it. Now I have to decide if I want it bad enough to get it or do I think I can continue to live without it. But I have resisted before and then seriously regretted it later. So what's on your "retiring" list must haves?
well.... I already own 53 of the retirees, so if you count the "I won't trade them away" sets:
- Aida Cloth, Linen, Fine Lace, Word by Word (these are my "go-to" backgrounds)
- Genuine Artice, Its a Date (good for scrapbooking)
- Letterpress and Headline (they are a good size for a lot of non-card projects)
- In My Thoughts (I use this set a TON)
- the ENTIRE monogram alphabet (but I guess they will probably retire the lowercase ones in June so I guess I'd better start collecting them now)
I might get Booglie Eyes since its so stinkin' cute, but I really don't use Halloween stamps that much...
Can someone please help, I've tried the SU website and cannot get the retirement list to come up. I'm dying here waiting to know what's leaving. Thanks, Linda
I am "losing" 12 (I never really lose them because I continue using retired sets all the time - I bought them for a reason right? LOL). Considering getting Frosty, Word by Word and I Did It before they are gone, haven't decided yet. Wish I could see the new catalog before ordering, don't we all? ;)
I lost 17 sets from this retired list. So of them I will be keeping though as I really like them...Frosty, Cold Play the Headline Alphabet. Good news is there really isn't any I have to have before they go.
I wanna see, anyone have any ideas why nothing will open for me to see the list? Thanks again, LInda I know I'm like a kid wanting a new toy.
I just tried it and it worked. Is it something on your computer settings? (Parental controls or something?)
If you pm me your email address, I can send it to you.
I think the only sets on here that I am really dying for that aren't already on my gift list are the Halloween sets. Halloween is my favorite time of year and carved & candlelit could be useful for general Fall decorations, so there is a very strong argument for getting them.
I just got into stamping this summer though so a small (probably overly optimistic) part of me hopes that I will be so excited by the new catalog (not to mention the other companies out there whose stamps I already love), that if I do not get the Halloween sets I like off this list I will not be kicking myself for the next 5 years.
If I don't get the 2 or 3 Halloween sets I adore, I'm looking at a solid 5 years of self inflicted kicks, aren't I :(
Tell me it will be ok!!!!!!

Reason: clarification
I'm kinda suprised that Looks like Spring is on there, I guess that means the Spring Bouquet Flower Punch will retire also. I also like the Fine Lace Backround . I will need to get the IN My Thoughts for sure. That seems like a very good verse set. I hope they have a comparable set in the new catty.
Linrob- Did you get the site to come up yet ? When you are on the site, under the picture in small print it says retired list I think click on that and it should come up. Otherwise maybe you have to update your adobe file. HTH.
Solemn Stillness, Bareback, Big celebrations, Circus Train.
Anyone else wondering how the hay "So Much" is still here??????? Maybe it has to do with all of MarkiesMom's beautiful cards~! ( : Still don't like it tho...but love her cards!
I will be getting Bundle of Joy, as I have wanted it forever but never bought it. I am also thinking about I Did It but I am not really sure. I am always hesitant to get retiring sets b/c I am also thinking I will like the new stuff better but that doesn't always happen and then I do kick myself b/c I can't get that cute set anymore.
I only have two sets that are retiring, much better than last time around. Last time all my sets but three retired.
Only one set on my wish list that I have to get - thank goodness! I have Headline Alphabet and love it; the matching numbers have been on my list for awhile. I just emailed my demo to order them for me.

Do get Cold Play, you won't regret it, I posted some old samples on my blog with it this morning and if you scroll down you will see a chipboard ornament that I made last week with it.

That is the Regional set for the year (you get it free when attending a Regional. I am not 100% positive, but I think that set will still be the free one when the Regionals start up again next year - business year as opposed to catalog year.
I didn't care for it at first, but I am liking it more and more.
The only thing that I saw that I really want is the Aida Cloth. I had never paid attention to a couple of the christmas sets like, Simple Snowman and Glorious Garlands, but I dont know that I HAVE to have them. I will be ordering Aida Cloth though. I was shocked to see a couple of them go, like Bundle of Joy and Linen, but all good things must come to an end, so that we can get better!!! I only lost 15, but I am like some of the others, I wont get rid of them, unless I start not to like them.
There aren't as many as I thought, but Home is where the haught is, Thankful Season, Sassy Stems, Season by Seanson. Question, when I get my sassy stems and color in my vase, can I then put the crystal effects on the vase and it will look like water? Do I just put a thin layer?
Thanks

I'm sentimental for Frosty cause it's the first set I bought. I'm also going to miss Solemn Stillness.
However, for those on the list I don't have, I'm considering:
Holiday Tag Team
It's Snow Time
Flaky Friends
Monkey Business
Serene Sunflower
I'm surprised about Headline Alpha and Letterpress. I have letterpress. Admiditely, I don't use it much, but I'm surprised it's on the list. I think the Monograms are going cause now you can just get a chipboard letter instead of having a big stamp, KWIM?
I'm not surprised about Frosty or Solemn Stillness, though. I have and like both, but even I think it's time for a change.
Not a bad list... is it just me, or does it seem kinda short? Anyway I just need to get the number sets for all of my alphas - Headline, Letterpress, and Typeset. I've been putting those off, but can put-off no longer. :mrgreen: I've debated on Aida Cloth for a long time now... I guess I need to officially make up my mind! LOL
Whew... luckily I had a short list of "must-haves" and none of them were on the retiring list. I'm new and my first set, Frosty, is going! I did get Greetings Galore, too, and it's staying, which I'm relieved about as I have seen lots of folks wishing that it would go!
I'm considering signing up as a demo so will not be buying any of the retiring ones, although I love Sassy Stems and had thought about that set seriously for a while.
My list is not that long, Aida Cloth and Fine lace for sure. Debating about Linen since I already have Canvas. Seems a bit much to have three "cloth like " BG. Any opinions on that?
Debating between Headline and Letterpress Alpha's. Have liked Headline for a long time but the Gallery submissions for Letterpress make it so appealing!
It never fails that while looking at everyone else's list of "must have's" sets I had not really thought about before suddenly seem tempting.
Okay, what is on your list...
