All Good Things Must End
Happy Wednesday! I tried to post this earlier but my blog was not cooperating. Anyway…
We made this at my very last Stampin’ Up workshop. Yep, I’m done (for various reasons). In a way, I’m a bit disappointed as I liked getting together with friends to stamp but…it’s time to move on.
Thank You
I used one of my all-time favorite color combos, Chocolate Chip and Cameo Coral. I blew the dust off of my Floral background and I used my last piece of Aged Copper Hodgepodge. THAT I will miss. If anyone knows where I can buy hardware pieces that have that dark, aged look, please let me know. I’ve seen antique copper all over, but nothing like these very dark aged pieces. I *heart* them!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a great day! 
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Cameo Coral, Very Vanilla Stamps: SU Fresh Cuts, Floral Ink: Chocolate Chip Accessories: Aged Copper Hodgepodge, Martha Stewart Ribbon, Sponge. Card size 5 ½” x 4 ¼”.
Beautiful Michele, I too moved on….but I still order a few things that I can’t live without…lol!!
Beautiful! I love that color combo! I just used that set a couple days ago — I don’t use my SU! stuff enough anymore!
I quit in August but I’m still ordering now and then from a friend. I’ll always love Stampin’Up! stuff. I also miss having my friends come to stamp with me and seeing their joy in what they made. I suppose I spend way too much on this craft and I keep saying I don’t need anything more but then, I’m sure you know how that goes. Right now I’m interested in the Xyrons (Is that how you spell that?)- little late on this tool but it will be my next purchase.
I love these colours together, great card! I’m not a demo but I was at a Stamping Up workshop last night and I did buy some stuff (wha???) - obviously necessary stuff……..I used to love the copper things too…..especially the copper paper……ah well…..
Aw, you sound sad. I’m still hanging on, but just by a thread. But you’ve on to much bigger and better things! Reasons to celebrate!!
Beautiful card; love it!!
Love the card
I just ended SU too.. So sad, but time to move on like you said! Good luck with whatever comes next for ya!
Gorgeous card…I spend to much money with SU to give up my discount, LOL!! Your card is gorgeous!!
Gorgeous Michele! Love how the coral is toned down with the sponging…so soft and pretty!!!
What a beautiful card! I’m with you- the colors are wonderful!
Beautiful, beautiful card! About the copper pieces, I bought a package by Basic Gray at Archivers.
Beautiful card! I need to use all of my SU! stamps more often!
Love your card!
I found dark photo turns at http://www.buttonsgaloreandmore.com
then search for photos turns.
They are almost identical to the SU Hodgepodge or at least close enough for me.
$1.99 per package. Reasonable shipping.
The only irritaing thing they don’t list quantities of some items, like these photo turns, but they did answer email. I think it was a reasonable amount or I wouldn’t have bought them.
Oh, get on their list and watch for a sale.
ANd don’t look around to much, you will find a lot of cool things. I love their themed button assortments. I collect them, LOL. I am a hoarder so I have a hard time using them, cuz then they will be gone.
This is so beautiful, Michele!! Congratulations on your decision to move on, though I can understand the sadness you feel.
I love your Choc. Chip & Cameo combo. Pretty card!
