Happy Congratulations with Best of Butterflies – Stampin’ Up!

I pulled out one of my favorite Best of stamp sets from Stampin’ Up!, Best of Butterflies, to create this card.  The Best of stamp sets are only available for a few more weeks (through March 31) so be sure that you get your sets before they’re gone.  And if you’ve purchased at least 6 of these sets, don’t forget to redeem your free set before April 30!!  You can see all of the Best of stamp sets that are available here.

My card design today was inspired by Mojo Monday 335.

Clean and Simple Best of Butterflies Plus Some Blog Candy!!

I thought it was about time for some blog candy again…so lets chat about what we’d like to see in the new catalog!

If you’d like to be entered to win my blog candy package, just leave a comment on this post before Saturday evening (4/20/13) telling me either what item you hope to see in the new catalog or what item you’ll be sad to see retire (or both!) and your name will go in the hat to win!  I’ll announce the winner on my blog post Sunday morning.  Anyone can leave a comment, but I’m only able to give the blog candy to someone with a US address, sorry about that.

I’m hoping for new stamp sets that go with the existing Framelits Dies and some new Framelits too!  I think that I’m most sad about Baja Breeze leaving, it’s one of my favorite colors.  Don’t forget that Stampin’ Up’s retiring list will be posted on Wednesday, April 24 (and I’ll post it on my blog for you too) so you’ll have a few weeks to grab your favorite things before they’re gone.
