Once again, thank you all for your delightful entries celebrating your favorite retiring or retired Stampin' Up! Stamp Sets. Here we are at the beginning of the new year, many of us waiting breathlessly for our first order from the new catalog. But we also love to go back and look at past favorites – even if they're from the near past!
So many of you received votes from our Design Team this time around it was hard just to pick a Top 3. But we did, and here they are! Just click on the pictures if you'd like to read more about their projects on their blogs.

Gloria Steger. We all loved all the details on this card – it's a great all-around card, even if Gloria did call it Christmas in May! The soft coloring is lovely, and the whole design makes for a very clean-looking card!
Shanna Gaff. We loved the use of the Vellum and how it softens the coloring behind the sentiment. One of our design team members offered, "It's always better with Vellum!" Such a lovely color combination, too!
Gayle Wheeler. First of all, I think that little bird is so darned cute – it's got to make anyone who looks at it smile! We also loved the free-form hills, and the use of the retiring Clouds Embossing Folder, just embossing a part of the sky. Overall a delightful picture!

Thank you Design Team Members for selecting my card as one of the top three for this challenge. I really look forward to the new challengers as they are posted.
Thanks so much for choosing my card for this challenge. Congrats to Gloria and Shanna for their beautiful (winning) samples as well.
p.s. Still couldn't post my comment today using IE10. Switched to a different browser (Chrome) and no problem. Weird.
