Retirement Party! Pals May Blog Hop!

 

 

 

Hi Blogging Pals! Thanks for joining us for the May Pals Blog Hop and our annual Retirement Party! It's time to say goodbye to stamps and accessories that will not be available in the new  2013-2014 Stampin' Up! catalog. I'm sad to see cute stuff retire, but my dreams every night are full of the new cute stuff that will soon be available. So enjoy the farewell tour for our favorite retiring products - and remember you have until June 3rd to order from the retiring product lists.

You should have just left stop number 27 on the Pals Hop - Julie Trevett-Smith at The Stampin' Affair If so, you are in the right spot.  If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

I am obsessed with Halloween! I am going to miss all of the Halloween sets! But at the same time I am super excited to see the New Halloween! I think I have every Stampin' Up! Halloween set since 2007 and yes I still take them out every year and use them... BUT if you don't get them now Halloween is one of the hardest stamp sets to find later! 



 

I ripped the edges to expose designer series paper underneath. I love the bingo card stamp and its never been cuter then with Spooky Bingo bits all over it! It just brings a smile to my face.

I put a large pearl on top of the button. Adding the googlie eyes to the owl makes him so expressive!
