WT115 - Going, Going, Gone

[Julia S]

Only one month left before the huge list of Stampin Up's retirement sets is gone! Lots of my faves are on that list...some really great sets. I'm sad to see them go but I just have to think, Stampin Up must have a really great upcoming line-up just waiting to be revealed!

This week the challenge is to find Way's to Use the retiring sets. For those of you who are demos, get a little more use of them before they retire, add a little inspiration to the gallery, maybe even convince a few people that they really do need that set! If you would like to see the list of retiring stamp sets, here it is ... Going Out in Style. If you don't have any of these sets, you may still play along by using another company's retirement list sets.

Please remember to put WT115 in your keywords section and post a link back here! We'd all love to see your work! If you have a previous upload you'd like to share, you may link one previous upload as long as you do make sure you add a new card or design as well.

Trudee - Natural Beauty

Michele - Bloom

Julia - Spring Smile

Can't wait to see your designs! Happy Thursday!

I'm gonna like this one - I'm doing a Retirement SAS on Saturday and still trying to figure out what to do! Thanks for the idea and inspiration!

[tackertwosome]

Yes I made it!

[stampertammy]

Me first??? I'll bet there will be a lot of Roses in Winter in the gallery today!

ETA: Nope, not first! Oh well! This will be nice to look forward to when I get home from work!

[papermoon04]

So cool! I'm on it. Thanks Julia!

[fivekids7]

Yeah another chance to use all those retiring sets I have. Thanks for the challenge.

[lacyquilter]

Oh, good one, Julia. This should be easy peazy!

[tackertwosome]

Oh this should be easy there are so many going.

[mresendez0911]

Sounds fun!

[deipara]

This should be fun! I have a ton of new(ish) stamps from the retired list, plus all the ones that went before!

[derck]

i AM ALL OVER THIS CHALLENGE! Time to get to work!

[Twinshappy]

Fun! Thanks Julia!

[StampingQueenJAR]

I have soooo many sets that are retiring -- only 9 left current! Off to choose from the hundreds! Great challenge, Julia!

[bambi64]

Yes, Roses In Winter is a must! I just loaded this name frame yesterday but it fits today's challenge.

[lorettal]

for the first time in weeks - I'm doin' it!!!!!!!!

[abmurray]

Sounds like fun!!!

[BevMom]

Hooray! I had planned to use a retiring set already in my mind! Wahoo!

[~CA~]

Thanks Julia!!! I'll get on it as soon as I get the kids up and fed!

[beadn&stampn]

Thanks Julia...Sounds fun!

[dancerriley]

cool challenge!

[Grandmama BoBo]

One thing about it, there are so many retiring that you have a wide variety to choose from. Since I'm not a demo, I don't have to worry about it. Will be interesting to see what everyone comes up with. I better get on it, as I have 10 Christmas cards to make today.

[raduse]

This is going to be easy. I just uploaded my color challenge card and it fits the bill too. Here's that one:

I'll play some more later today or tommorrow too.

[joyk]

Thanks for the great challenge Julia! I have many sets to choose from on this one, and I need to make my hubby an anniversary card.

[Scraperwannabe]

I have just one or two to choose from!

Hey, the set I used for the Sketch Challenge yesterday was with a retiring set!
Someone Special

[Clownmom]

Perfect choice! I've got an on-going project I've been working on for about three weeks -- to use retiring sets in the challenges. Today is right up my alley! Can't wait to get home from work this evening and do my next one! Thanks, Julia!

[geekgirl415]

Kewl!! Julia, love your card and the comments- you freaked me out with your Lovely as a Tree set in your sample... so happy it's not retiring but i'll miss French Script. i'll be playing in about 2 hrs!

[bdrew]

Well, well, well, I don't think too many of us will have a problem making a card with a retiring set, since there are SO MANY GOING!
I'll try to make one new for today.

[E3stamper]

Great challenge Julia! Off to play!

[bdrew]

Now here's one I did with Petal prints for the sketch challenge just yesterday...a favorite set that's going...but won't be gone for me!

TFL!

[Ijmauitidd]

Can't wait to get started! Now, which set should I choose?

[MyPrecious]

With all the hustle and bustle of the past few weeks - I haven't even gone through my retired list. I know when I do I will CRY! :<

I suppose if I have time today I should! Hi Julia!

[strappystamper]

Fun! Hope I get a chance to play later!

[etsdas]

I tried the link to the retired sets and got the message that the page is no longer available. Where else can I see the list?

[ND Stamper]

I tried to click on your link above (Going Out in Style) and I got a page cannot be found message. Anyway, I have to work today, but will do one this evening. Have a great stamping day!

[Karen Stamps!]

Great challenge! Where do I start?!? So many favourites are retiring...

[Doodlepie99]

This is a fun one. I do not think I own any that will retire though. Hmmm, I will have to look real hard.
