Mother's Day Gift She wouldn't Give Herself

Paper Pumpkin April Kit
Mother's Day Gift idea
Stampin' Up! Retired list means a new catalog arrives soon

April Paper Pumpkin

I finished my April Paper Pumpkin kit today. I loved working on this month's kit while watching my favorite TV show. Such a relaxing evening! The kit includes everything you see here except the Daffodil Delight ribbons for the tags. After I saw the cut flower buds I hunted through my ribbon collection and jumped for joy when I found a spool of 1/4" Daffodil Delight cotton ribbon hiding among my stash.

As I was finishing my April Paper Pumpkin project I realized what a great gift idea this kit would be for Mother's day.

2016 Retiring Items

The Stampin' Up! retiring list was announced last week. Retiring products are going fast, including some of my favorite In-Colors accessories, papers and matching markers! Some retiring products are discounted up to 50%, so pick up some bargains, today.

A couple of surprises on the retired list are the Craft Scissors (AKA Ribbon Scissors) 108360, and the Candy Dots. Yes, the new catalog includes an assortment of acrylic shapes, but we old-school stampers will really miss our lovely brad and candy dot accents...sigh. Have I really been stamping for over 10 years? Why is it so hard to give up all the wonderful tools and accessories every time we receive a new catalog; yet I want everything in the new catalog as well?
