Fun Stampers Journey Retirement Blog Hop

Welcome to Richard Garay’s first-ever Up, Up & Away Retirement Sale blog hop where the Make Amazing Girls are showing off projects featuring retiring products from Fun Stampers Journey. If you are arriving from Richard Garay's blog you are right on track. Make sure to visit each and every blog along the hop to see all the inspiring projects and a chance to win prizes! And check out the incredible deals on fabulous retired stamp sets, patterned paper, and more by clicking here. 



My first card uses three retiring stamps, Cocktail Party, Two is Better and the background stamp called Potion Shelf. Can you believe these stamps are retiring? They're ideal for birthday cards, cocktail party invites and more! They're a couple of my favorite sets on the retirement list! 



The ATC Two is Better tandem bicycle and sentiment are super cute together or pair the sentiment up with the Cocktail Party stamps. 



How adorable is this bicycle?!?! It's such a cute and versatile image! Swoon! 

Next up a Floral Notes card. I think the Newsprint background stamp works wonderfully with these daffodils! Heck it would go well with just about any occasion or theme, don't you think? 



Again...I just can't believe these sets are retiring! Better grab them before they're gone! 

Don't forget to leave a comment on my post and each stop along the hop as a winner from all comments received will win their choice of a retiring stamp set. The more blogs you comment on, the more chances to win! Comments close on Thursday, May 7, 2015 at Midnight, PST. Winner will be announced on Richardgaray.com on May 8th. 

Next up on the hop is my talented teammate Tania Willis.
