I had a sweet little girl in mind when I made this card. So I chose my favourite three pinks:
Melon Mambo, Pixie Pink and Rose Red.
The stampset used for the animals is "Animal Stories" you might be seeing a lot more of this stampset in the next year ... that's a big hint regarding the new catalogue coming out next month.
I stamped in all the images in Melon Mambo.
The birthday cake is a single stamp from the A la Carte selection.
I've used two punches here, the circle punch to cut out the cake and the circle scallop punch to cut out the pixie pink cardstock.
There are a few new stamps used here but they are just a sneak peek of whats in store ...
I've put it up on dimensionals and made a bow under the oval with the Melon Mambo ribbon (RETIRING) this gorgous polka dot ribbon is going ... after 31 August.
Thats it your first sneak peek of some of the new and returning stampsets.
Send me an email if you are needing any of those last chance specials.
It has been not exactly what I expected, but then I am not sure what any one expects when they embark on a new "business". 
What I have enjoyed most is the creativity that I have been able to dip into and the inspiration I have gained from the Stampin up network of demonstrators, websites, blogs, conventions and regional training.
I have learned a heap of new things about products and techniques that I never knew existed, how the products are made, why they do what they do, what's in them .... a seemingly endless list.
I have hardly shared a fraction of what I have learned, but then with all things there is no point me telling you something you didnt ask for.
