Pals Blog Hop: Out with the Old...

2015mayhop_badge

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for May where we are preparing for the retirement of some Stampin' Up! products.  Though it may be goodbye to some very loved supplies, it will make room for the much anticipated new catalog products.  We hope you enjoy the Pals' creative projects.


You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Peggy Noe at prettypapercards, number 16 on the Pals Hop.  If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

I made this card using some of my favorite retiring things: Top Note Bigz Die, Boho Blossom Punch, Dotted Ribbon Punch, and the Fancy Fan Folder.  The Top Note Die was one of my very first Stampin' Up! purchases and I have been loving ever since.  Don't miss all of the great cards that are on this month's blog hop made with some of these wonderful retiring items. 


The next stop is Kerry Willard Bray at Peonies and Paper Chains, number 18 on the Pals Blog Hop!  Thanks for visiting; I hope to see you on next month’s Pals Hop!

Sprinkles of Life! PPA 250



Today I played along with the Pals Paper Arts Challenge 250 using Coastal Cabana, Hello Honey and Baked Brown Sugar card stock.  I also got to play with some of the new goodies from the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator pre-order.  This is the stamp set titled Sprinkles of Life with the coordinating Tree Builder Punch.  I also used the large polka dot embossing folder for the background along with some of the retiring 2013-2015 In Color sequins to give it some sprinkles!

April Showers Bring May Flowers!


Lost Lagoon and Old Olive make a nice color combination with this floral paper and these sparkly flowers.  The dragonfly brad is a perfect accent for this springy card.
