Just Some Lines Challenge

I'm using another SVG Cuts file and I just love these 3D flowers!
from: http://svgcuts.com/
Vicki is starting a new challenge at Just Some Lines.  This challenge is so easy.  You can GIVE THE GIFT OF FLOWERS with only one flower or you may give a basket of flowers.  In any case the focal point must be someone with flowers or the flowers themselves.  I decided to go with the flower as my focal point.http://justsomelinesblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/new-challenge-give-gift-of-flowers.html

I put together the Gerber Daisy from SVG Cuts for the flower
yellow and brown cardstock that I had for the card base and gerber daisy
Stampin' Up! crumb cake (it looks blue in this picture) and DSP from the Brights Collection
Stampin' Up! more mustard ink around the daisy
and the sentiment from Scrappy Moms

The retired accessories and Definitely Decorative (including Décor Elements) lists are now available and won't stay around for long--these items are only available while supplies last!

When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed. This is for two reasons: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) we are introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog.

Stampin' Up! Retired Stamp List

Dates: April 15-May 31, 2012 (select items available while supplies last)

Details
Hundreds of stamps and accessories from the 2011-2012 catalogs are retiring, and this is your chance to get them before they're gone.
Many products are only available while supplies last, so be sure to get your orders in early!
When you view the retiring stamps list, you may notice it's longer than in years past. During this transition to the new annual catalog, there are a higher number of stamps being refreshed and replaced than usual. While many stamps are going away, most are being replaced so that the breadth of our stamp lines is every bit as broad as ever!

My website has the complete list; so head on over to my website to order yours today before they are gone !!
