Sampin up blue about a choo choo

OK maybe a silly title but i have baby brain and couldn't think of something better sorry :)

this is another of the Stampin' Up! sets which is on the current retired list..  and it's one of my favourites I'm going to miss this one!

thankfully the polka dot embossing folder i used on this card is NOT retiring !

however the designer label punch is so if you like the train ticket style of this punch and haven't got it yet then drop me a line retired list items really are only available while stocks last.... last year we saw items disappear really quickly!  so don't miss out!

Thanks for stopping by!

dusting off some Stampin up sets...

so i started organising my stamp collection and realised there were a few sets i haven't used in a while which are now retiring ( hang head in shame) so i thought i'd dust them off and have a play....

This set is called Love you much it's a set of 6 stamps # 113756 you'll get to see more with this set over the coming week :)

in the mean time i'm waiting to see my new stamps from the new catalogue to say i'm a little excited is an understatement i think this pretty much describes my reaction when they arrive...

I know my UPS man is all ready for my crazy reaction when he arrives ( i scared him the first time!)

he he...

thanks for stopping by!
