Stampin' Addicts 2013 Retiring Stamp Blog Hop Circle Circus

Hello,

Welcome to the Stampin Addicts Retiring Stamp Blog Hop.

Well I am excited this is my first Stampin' Addicts BlogHop.  I really hope you like everyone's blog and especially mine.  I choose Circle Circus as my Retiring stamp Set.  I have had so much fun with that set and really am sad to see it go.  It really makes a great background stamp.  The first card I used it on was a black and white card and it was amazing in black and white, in fact I used it only black and white for the first few times and then I experimented with color and I was off.

Well here are some of my cards that I have made with Circle Circus - goodbye old friend. Remember you have only to June 3, to get these great stamp sets and all the others that are retiring.
