Welcome

Farewell" to some of our old friends, the 30 retiring colors of Stampin' Up!'s
Color Renovation!
If
you've hopped over from Gina Shaw, www.cardsbyginashaw.com, I'm
stop number 3 on the PALS HOP and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you
"hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find inspirational ideas for
papercrafted creations from Mary Fish's Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop
off course, simply click on any of the links in the PALS HOP LINE-UP below and
you'll be back on track!
In honor
of the retiring colors, we're offering BLOG CANDY at each stop on the hop!
Visit each of the 17 Stampin' Pretty Pals and leave a comment to their specific
posted question and you'll have a not one, but 17 chances to WIN some great
Stampin' Up! goodies!
I wanted to do something special...the following cards are all made from retiring stamp sets and mostly from retiring cardstock scraps and other supplies....hope you enjoy:

Halloween Frights Stamp Set
------
Scary Skeleton Stamp set
------
Tasty Sweet Stamp set
------
You and Moi Stamp Set
------
Eight Great Greetings Stamp set
------
Best Wishes and more Stamp set
------
This box will be full of ribbon and anything else I might get into the box....you never know what I might add to it.....do read the rules below....
For your
chance to win all the above goodies, please leave me a comment with your answer at the end of
this post by 3:00 PM CST, Friday, June 11th, at which time I'll choose a random
winner. Shipping to US only. Blog question, How long does it take you to design and create a card? I'll go first: Sometimes it is easy, but other times it will take me a long time, I just start playing and see what comes up. I start with the colors, new Color Coach will be a great help, then the stamp sets, etc. So about 5 minutes to 40 minutes over all.
Here's
what the winner will receive:
Box full of ribbon and any other items I might put in the box.
I'll
announce the winner of my blog candy package here on my blog on Sunday, June
13th, 2010. The winner will have 48 hours to contact me after their name is
announced.
