Coming and Going!

Nope, not talking about my life! However there is a bit of that going on.  I've been cleaning out my stamp room more as we get closer to the big move date.  While I still have things up and running and a few events going this week, it looks a little bleak in my little paradise.  At least that's what a few friends tell me.  <sniff>

What I mean by that title is that the Retired List is out and the new stuff is coming.  I received my preorder early last week and I have been stamping like a crazy woman.  Tonight I want to share a few things that are leaving as well as a few sneak peeks. 

I started this card by using the Scallop Die Cut for the Big Shot to make the base of the card.  I used a new In Color called Pear Pizzaz.  It's so pretty.  Very soft.  Then I used the Clear Circle Die Cut and cut a piece of Early Espresso and Blushing Bride.  I love this color combination.  It's fun and reminds me of Spring.  Using Early Espresso ink (NEW Favorite of mine!) I wheeled the Posy Party Builder Wheel across the Early Espresso cardstock. (Posy Party (builder) 118615 $4.50) I rolled the Blushing Bride cardstock circle with the Polka Dot embossing folder. *I love this folder. * I cut the embossed Blushing Bride in half and then  adhered that to the Early Espresso cardstock. I wrapped Very Vanilla ribbon around the card and then adhered onto the cardstock base using dimensionals.  The focal point of the card I used a new Rectangle Scallop Clearlit and rolled this using Kraft cardstock.  The top layer has the Bitty Button collection and I used the Bitty Button Punch Pack to get the punches under the buttons.  Add a little linen thread or embroidery floss and it's super cute and fun.  I added the pearls from the Pretties kit.  This is retiring.  A little painful.  YIKES.  The sentiment comes from Fundamental Phrases.  GREAT SET. 

I'm looking forward to this week.  I have lots of friends coming to stamp with me.  This always means lots of laughs and giggles.
