Welcome to the Remarkable InkBig Blog Hop for April 2018. This month our theme is Bon Voyage Retiring In-Colors!  You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog – Beth McCullough @ Stamping Mom or may have come from the person previous to me on the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

I will really miss the Stampin’ Up! 2016-18 In Colors.  They are bright and happy, which are the colors I gravitate to.  The sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set.  It is also retiring, but I will keep mine.  The flowers and leaves are from Patty Bennett’s Million Dollar set, Support Ribbon Framelits, and thankfully they will be in the next catalog.

Which of these colors is your favorite?

Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don’t want to miss. Remember that currently, you are on my blog –Beth McCullough @ Stamping Mom, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next on the list.



We had a surprise weekend visit from Abby.   Abby made me a delicious carrot cake for my birthday.  I think she thought if she didn’t come home and make me a cake, I probably wouldn’t get one.  🙂 What a sweet daughter! Only three more weeks and she will be home for the summer.

Keegan and his girlfriend, Ella, had fun at his senior prom last night.  It was the last “dance night” for our last kid.  I thought it wouldn’t bother me to have all these “lasts,” but honestly it really does.  We’ve been actively parenting  for almost 28 years.  While I look forward to traveling with Steve and the fun things we have planned, there’s nothing I’ve loved more than being a Mom!

Stampin’ Up announced it’s Color Revamp last weekend at OnStage.  My favorite part of the revamp is the return of former In-Color, Costal Cabana.  Costal Cabana is a lighter version of my beloved Bermuda Bay!

I’m a designer and hosting the challenge this week at Use Your Stuff Challenge Blog.  We purchase crafting supplies to make beautiful cards, scrapbooks and gifts, not to just collect the crafting supplies.  Use Your Stuff was created to inspire us to use what we already have.  The Coastal Cabana ink and cardstock have been in my stash since 2013.  I pulled it out today for this week’s challenge of, “Babies.”  Please head over to Use Your Stuff and enter the challenge.

On my latest version, I used the fancier banner from Bunch of Banners Framelits.  I also added the little heart from the Enamel Shapes- Brights.  These are retiring, so get them while you still can.

If you’ve never stamped with me before, you’ll also get to choose 3 cards with envelopes from my card rack.  If you invite a friend who’s never stamped with me, you’ll each get to choose 3 cards with envelopes.

I’ve been busy organizing my Stamping Studio to accommodate the retiring product and new product arriving soon.  I’ve also started planning Keegan’s grad party.  We became parents 27 years ago and will become empty nesters starting in August. This fall we’ll have three college kids and one college graduate.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
