Bluebird Flying Home - Stampin' Up! Flying Home

 A while back I posted this Flying Home card and mentioned how we have a camera in our bluebird box and were hoping to see another pair build a nest and raise some babies.  Well we did have a lovely couple move in and start a family!  We've been watching the babies get bigger and bigger day by day and they will be fledging any time now.

  My stampers got to watch the bluebird family at my last stamp club and I purposely put this card at the table in that room so they could see all the action.

  This card was a last hurrah for several products and colors before they retire and are gone for good.  The Flying Home set didn't make the carry over list to the new annual catalog which I'm sad about so I wanted to be sure my stampers used it in class to see how cute it is.  The leaves stamped in the background are from the Rose Wonder set that is also retiring.  That big rose stamp and coordinating thinlets are just gorgeous.  Take another look just in case!

  Some colors on this card are also retiring; Wild Wasabi (colored leaves and the leaf background panel), Island Indigo (narrow band across the front and some of the flowers), Marina Mist (the bird and some flowers), Dapper Denim a retiring In Color (flower buds) and lastly Tangerine Tango (the bird beak).

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
