Pals May Hop & Annual Retirement Party

2013mayhop_badge

Thank you 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  2013-14 Stampin’ Up! annual catalog.
Although it’s always sad to see wonderful products retire, it is
exciting to think about all of the new products 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.  Retiring accessories are only available while supplies last.

You should have just left stop number 22 on the Pals Hop – Penny Nichols at Sierra Stampin!  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.

Note:  Sketches are my favorite way to get a card started and this sketch is perfect for using scraps of designer series paper.  I found the sketch used for this card in Take 10 Magazine, Spring 2013 (p. 46).

The next stop is Rae Harper at Wild West Paper Arts, stop number 24 on
the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting ? and I hope to see you next month!

A SPECIAL THANK YOU!
