Ladybug Ink Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to this month's blog hop!

Today, we're featuring retiring items from the 2012-2013 Idea Book.  I'm sad to see some of our stamps, colors, and accessories go, but oh so excited for the new items!  Every year, Stampin'Up! goes through this process of retiring items and releasing a new catalog and every year it is bittersweet.

Today, I have 2 cards that feature retiring stamp sets.

This card uses the retiring stamp set called Tea Shoppe and corresponding DSP, Twitterpated.  I love this set!  I used it for my Stampin'Up! Tea Party last year.  I'm sure going to miss it....this is probably one I will hang on to though.

This card uses another one of my favorite stamps sets, Word Play, that made the retiring list this year.  I'm very sad to see this one go.  It is so versatile and I use it ALL the time! I will probably have a hard time parting with this one too, so it will likely stay on my shelf.  The ribbon shown here, Basic black scalloped dots ribbon, is also retiring.  The new catalog has a lot of new ribbon including chevron printed ribbon that will probably be my new favorite!
