I’ve been collecting some ‘older’ retired sets, mostly florals and children's sets for the last couple of years. A ‘few’ of my favorites are Tender Toile, Friends, Friendship Grows, And Everything Nice, because they remind me of my 2 Granddaughers, Gabby who is 10 and Paige who’ll be 8 this Nov. Gabby is a “Game Boy” type of gal and Paige is a true little crafter and loves all flowers just like I do.
Paige’s first picture from Kindergarten ‘art class’ *smile* was a huge flower picture she painted for me with her watercolors. Paige already knows how to use my stamps and inkpads, my paper cutter, light box, and of course my new Bigshot. She loves to color her stamping in with colored pencils and markers. When she does her yearly Christmas shopping, I always get a ‘crafters gift’ because “Nana is crafty”. *smile*
So, I’ve decided I am going to do a “Golden Oldies Monthly Feature” of Stampin UP retired sets, for my girls. Paige gets such a kick out of the older stamps. As I go along, I will give these cards/projects to Paige to give to Gabby or as a collection for them to give to friends or family.
So please join me in my SU Golden Oldies Monthly Feature. If you’d like a set of the stamped images from the retired set I’ve currently posted, on Whisper White cardstock stamped with Magenta Tuxedo Black or Stazon Jet Black… leave me a me a comment below with your email, so I can respond for your address and I’d be happy to send you a set.

Too cute, Carla! I collect the old SU! stamps that have dogs on them! Because of the puppy in the wagon, I would love a set of these images. What a sweet offer you are making!

Love your card. It brings back memories of my elementary grade readers, Dick and Jane. You did a beautiful job on the coloring.
Thanks for the peek into your world ... it's always nice to hear a personal story or two.
Your coloring is gorgeous.
Beautiful watercoloring. Love your golden oldies idea! Hugs, Mary
What a fun idea, can't wait to see these images Carla! I had to have A Kind Word because of my 2 girls and I'm sure I'll never part with it either. Your card is beautiful!
I love some of the older sets Carla. The one you used here is adorable! I've never seen that. Great coloring!!
