Hi Stampin' Friends! My goodies came in today so I'll have a sneak peak for you tomorrow! Gorgeous stamps and DSP! I wish you could see them in person – they are absolutely gorgeous!

Hi Stampin' Friends I love, love the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper and decided to use it for today's card. I'll miss it but I am sure that Stampin' Up! will have some equally gorgeous new DSP for us to drool over! Even though the coordinated color, Marina Mist, was listed in the catalog, I…
Hi Stampin' Friends So how many of your stamp sets are retiring? I didn't do too bad – only 33 of mine are retiring. I was so glad to see that Lovely as a Tree is staying and I think it will be available in clear mount in the next catalog! I'm sorry to see…
