Today's Bloom is in honer of all the retiring Stampin' Up products. To check out the LAST CHANCE LIST click HERE.
I used the "Bella's Bloom" and "Of the Earth" stamp sets to create these projects. "Of the Earth" is a level 1 hostess set that will no longer be available after June 30th. Bella's Bloom is also being retired. It is one of my favorite sets. If you would like to purchase either of these sets I would suggest you do it now, because they will soon be gone.
