CTMH no longer gives us an official Retired List. However, they have given us guidelines so we can plan accordingly. As I'm stuck at home on medical leave, I spent yesterday afternoon checking the new Autumn/Winter Idea Book against the Spring/Summer 2012 and Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Books. Yes, I planned it that way :)
After going through all the books and the guidelines given to us by Close To My Heart, I've come up with a list of products that I believe will be retiring as of July 31, 2012. Some of these will be while supplies last as they are not manufactured in house. You should be able to click on the little print to PDF button at the bottom of this post if you would like to print this list off.
Disclaimer: I will NOT guarantee that this is 100% accurate, but I do believe it to be pretty darn close as I did double check. Someone did find an error and I have corrected it. I'm also basing this on almost 9 years as a CTMH Consultant.
I have made it easy for you by providing you with direct links to all the products. The links are meant to open in a new window each time so you won't lose your spot. You are welcome to purchase directly from my website. If you do, you can take advantage of my Mystery Hostess gathering by joining it to place your order and get a chance to win the Hostess Rewards. You can get more information on that here. Be sure you take advantage of the Perfect Pairs special going on right now as well! And let's not forget the Stamp of the Month!
Retiring Colors
Close To My Heart announced yesterday that we will be going to a 40 + 2 Color Palette, with select seasonal colors only available in the new My Reflections Paper Packets. The following colors are NOT listed in the Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book. We're also getting SIX NEW COLORS! I'll give you more on that in the next post :)
Of course, with the color change, this also means that the Combo Packs will be retiring, as well as the Shade Packs. This will also mean the stamp pads and re-inkers will be gone as well. If you need these, you had better hurry! They do have a tendency to sell out FAST!
My best guess (after being a consultant for almost 9 years) is these will be available through July 31, 2012, while supplies last.

Retiring Stamps
We have been told that our My Acrylix Stamp Sets are available for a period of one year - the current Idea Book and the one previous. Based on that, I have gone through the new AW 2012 book, SS 2012 book and AW 2011 book and believe these ones are going to be retired as they are NOT in the new AW 2012 book or the SS 2012 book. As our My Acrylix Stamp Sets are manufactured right on Close To My Heart Headquarters in Utah, these should be available through July 31, 2012.

Retiring Accessories
We’ve been told that accessories are only guaranteed for the life of the current Idea Book. I have gone through and compared the Spring/Summer book to the new Autumn/Winter book to give you a good idea of what is retiring. The products listed below are NOT listed in the new Autumn/Winter Idea Book, so it is a good guess that they will be retired as of July 31, 2012. As we’ve already found out with some of them, I would also venture to guess they are going to be while supplies last.
