ESAD 2017 Retirement List Blog Hop

No automatic alt text available.Hi Everyone,

It's time for the ESAD 2017 Retirement List Blog Hop!

If you have been following the hop around, thank you for continuing onto my page! I love joining in the ESAD hops as we all have such a wide range of creativity! Didn't you just love Tanya's creations - she never ceases to amaze!

The retirement list is a bittersweet time of year for the Stampin' Up! annual Idea Book and Catalogue, it means a whole heap of products are retiring but it does mean a massive amount of new products are about to be released!

I decided to showcase the Owl Punch (I'm gonna miss this punch, it's so versatile!!), the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper and the 2015-17 In Colors for my cards:


The Latch Card -

 A close-up of the "Latch" (the tutorial is on splitcoast stampers) -
Bold and Bright with some banners - 


And then I decided to use some of my DSP, the gift box punch board and the Party Pop-up thinlits for my next project -


Of course, I had to add a bit of bling with the silver dazzling details (that's the spotty bit all over the Happy Birthday diecut)! This has been the best way to add glitter to so many of my cards! I'll definitely miss it when my stash runs out.....


Now, you may also be wondering just what at is ESAD is and this should explain some of it:

What this blurb may not convey is just how awesome the ESAD group is! I have been a member for most of my 10yrs as a demo and find it a great source of inspiration, advice and information on all things Stampin' Up! related.

Please continue on the hop to Pauline! She'll be excited to show you her creativity too!

    Love your project Richelle. I'm so sad the owl punch is retiring (I think it needs to stay in my stash though). Love your projects. Thanks so much for participating in the ESAD Retirement Blog Hop

    So cute Richelle, going to miss that Owl Builder punch, so much fun to be had with it! Now I'm going to have to head to SplitCoast for that Latch Card tutorial, feeling inspired!

    Ilove the owl and you have shown him off beautifully. I was very sad that he is leaving and may have to protest about his departure!
