  Layers, layers everywhere. This card has so many layers it's hard to know where to begin. The Petal Palette stamp set is one of my all time favorites. And I don't even like birds! I think it's the way the layers work together without being fussy. You don't have to cut a lot of any one piece, either. As you e. And what are those circles in the background? Surprise! The Swirly Scribbles dies make a guess appearance here, too. Powder Pink is retiring...in fact, ALL 2017-2019 InColors are retiring. When? On Monday, April 15th. If I were you, I'd stock up on all InColor inks, re-inkers, paper, ribbon, etc before Monday. Historically, all InColors sell out almost immediately. And once they're gone, they're gone.

Smoky Slate, 5 1/8” x 3 7/8” Layer 2: Powder Pink, 5” x 3 ¾: Whisper White: Bird, flowers, flower clusters Powder Pink: Stitched Circle Framelit Basic Black: Swirly bird thinlet, Scalloped Circle Vellum: border thinlet 1.

Ok, ok...I know that this week was supposed to be all about the soon-to-be retiring 2017-2019 In Colors. And it was. Only, it was really a week of Lemon Lime Twist with a hint of Powder Pink. Maybe that's because those are my two favorite colors from that palette! If you look back over the last two years at all the times of used any of the 2017-2019 In Colors, you'll see that is indeed the trend. And I didn't even like Lemon Lime Twist when it first came out! Too bright! Too bold! Well guess what peeps, it's the one I'm going to miss the most. All I can say is, thank goodness forGranny Apple Green!
Retiring soon...Stock up NOW!
I can't believe in a week from today, I'll be waking up in the North Carolina mountains, ready to set up for my Stamping in the Mountains Spring Retreat. I've got my trusty band of set-up helpers who are all arriving with me on Thursday night and while we'll talk and laugh the night away, you know we'll be up early, ready to hit the Sunny Rock Cafe for an early morning breakfast, before setting up our TWO huge crafting spaces. Oh, I wish you could be there with us!!!
Today's card is from one of the classes at retreat and features the Buffalo Check Background Stamp and the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set - in Lemon Lime Twist of course! Background stamps are the unsung hero of our stamping collection. They offer so much depth, texture, and versatility. I can't wait to teach this class on Background Stamping - I've got so much to share! Today's Tutorial

I can't tell you how happy I am to revisit what has to be my all-time favorite stamp set, Petal Palette. As I put the finishing touches on my Spring Stamping in the Mountains Retreat, it brings me such joy to recollect that Petal Palette is what I used for the goodie bag stamp-a-stack last spring. Such wonderful memories and such amazing women, all gathered in one place. I am truly blessed and can't wait to see them all again next weekend!
Today, I stayed true and used outgoing 2017-2019 In Colors of Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist. Doesn't it give this card a soft, spring look? 
2017-2019 In Colors are retiring this spring.

I've had the Country Floral Embossing Folder for a few weeks, but haven't had a chance to play with it. This morning, I realized just how pretty it would be with Powder Pink, one of the retiring 2017-2019 In Colors. So soft and feminine... It's just gorgeous! A little bird told me the Country Floral Embossing Folder carrying over into the new annual catalog. But why pay for it when you can get it for free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration?!
You know...all week I've been telling you how important it is to get these retiring colors before the retirement list is announced, right? Here's why: The Powder Pink ink pad is already on back order! More are arriving in the warehouse next week. But once that retirement list is announced in April, everything will be on a while supplies last basis. 
It would be so sad to have Powder Pink, or any of the other 2017-2019 In Colors on your list only to learn the inventory is out of stock.
