I cannot believe the number of stamp sets I have retiring! Each time a new catalog has come out in the past, I've been amazed at how few stamps I had to retire. Well, I guess that finally caught up with me. I have more than 40 sets retiring!
One of the darling sets that didn't get much use in my stamp room is the Beary Best Friends stamp set, and its companion word set, Beary Nice Wishes. These are Build-A-Bear sets, which are adorable for kids' cards!

Honestly, I stamped this image over a year ago, & it has been sitting on my desk, waiting to be colored all these months! I finally sat down today & created a card featuring some of our retiring products.
The bears are colored with all retiring colors, the 2010-2012 In Colors. So sad to see them go! The green Rhinestone brad is also retiring, along with the Just Add Cake DSP. The cute Ticket Corner Punch is going, too. Can't wait to see all the new goodies that are replacing these retiring ones!
