Sparkle & Glitz (anything that shines) - Our 9th Birthday!

I can't believe this is for the last time but....Good Morning Sweet Stampers!

After more than 8 years of being a sweetie, it's time to hang up the 'boss' boots! Sweet Stampin' will still be here for you to play along with, Susan is still co-boss & Wendy is stepping in to my boots to help her. So no major changes,  except that your challenge posts will be on time in future lol!

I always wanted to go out on a party & what better way than our 9^th birthday celebrations?

HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY SWEET STAMPIN'!

We want to see as much SPARKLE, GLITZ, SHINE & GLITTER on your cards as you can! So all that remains is a very heartfelt THANK YOU to every single DT member & every single person that ever played along over the last 9 years. You all made the Sweet Stampin' challenge a wonderful place to be. Some have become lifelong friends, some fleeting visitors but each one has added their own something to a challenge blog that has been a huge & happy part of my life.

My card this week is for you all, I'll miss you.  Lots of love. Mwah!

For the last time from me, take a look at what the awesome Team Abi & guests have done to inspire you:

Abi

Cass



Chris - joining the celebrations



Faye - The lovely, talented lady who invited me to join SS & started this madness off!  Thank you for popping back.

Fiona - a huge welcome to our new teamie Fiona, we're so delighted to have you on board

Lisa

Susan - Abi, we will miss you so much. You've been a huge influence on Sweet Stampin'. No, you've BEEN Sweet Stampin' for more years than you probably care to remember but you've made this a fun place to be and we will try very hard not to break anything when you go. I think all we need do now is say thanks Abi and wish you every success in whatever you do.

Sammy

Tracey - Thank you for your support & friendship lovely lady!



Wends

As you know, our fabulous Abi is stepping down from being Blog Owner, Administrator, Best Crafty Boss Ever and all round Sweet Stampin' hero. So we're throwing a lil' party to celebrate our Abi and you're all invited. Here's my 'tribute' party piece to farewell our lovely Abi. She will be missed more than words can say and is leaving a rather large pair of shoes to fill, which is why Susan and I will be sharing that job! But we've always been a great team and it's with the support of everyone here that Sweet Stampin' is the success that it is, so let's make our Abi proud and keep this challenge blog going strong.

So now it's over to you, get creating something that shines or sparkles & help celebrate our 9th Birthday week

Look out for the Top 3 from the White on White challenge!

Also, check out the challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'.
We're always Anything 'Christmas' Goes.
