As I said in yesterday's post, I am a stamp hoarder. I have sets dating back to 2002 when I first started as a Demonstrator with Stampin' Up! I keep the sets I love and think I can use, especially sets I know I can always use to make cards to sell. I have been selling my hand made cards at Chapter's Pre-Loved Books in Lebanon, Ohio for over a year now and I love it! It is not only a source of income, but I get to use and enjoy all my retired products. I decided why not share with all of you the cards made with retired items, I know there are other hoarders out there too!! So, here is my first Flashback Friday card share!
This cute little ballerina mouse is from Beautiful Ballerina's in 2002. I have been making shadowbox cards all week so I figured why not for this set too! I am working on building up my little girl birthday cards for the store and this set just fits the bill! I also used Pixie Pink which is a retired color. The mouse is stamped on glossy card stock, I feel like I can color better on the smooth paper. Here is a close up.
The green is Certainly Celery to add a touch of color. And the greeting is current from Itty Bitty Banners. The back of the card is Pixie Pink embossed with Lacy Brocade EF. I had a lot of fun with this card, I hope you enjoyed the flashback to 2002!
Next week on Monday I will have a card for the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge at Technostamper. Have a great weekend, see you Monday!
If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

I love this idea--I too still have all my sets and should start this. I remember this darling little ballerina. So cute. Great card.
Soooo glad you are doing this! I too love my retired sets and is frustrating not being able to use and actually share even though they are retired. There are many new ones that can be substituted for the retired ones! I simply cannot buy them all! Thanks for sharing and please continue! Vicki
