Angelica's Fond Farewell Blog Hop

Good morning friends, and welcome to Angelica's Fond Farewell Blog Hop. Angelica Suarez has served as the Design Team/Marketing coordinator for Peachy Keen Stamps, for the past three years, and as many of you may have read from her post here a few days ago, she has made the difficult decision to leave her position  at Peachy Keen for a new and exciting job opportunity in the printing industry, which is near and dear to her heart. It's a bittersweet celebration for us, as we are sad to see her go, but we know that she will be a tremendous success in this new venture, and we couldn't be happier for her.

It is for this reason that those of us who have been blessed to work with Angelica have come together to bid her a fond farewell and share some special creations that we have made to let her know how much she means to us, how much we have enjoyed working with her, how much we are going to miss her, and that we wish her all the best!

We are so happy that you could join us for this special event!

You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented Samantha Casey's Blog, but if you just happened upon this post, then you're going to want to go back to the beginning to The Peachy Keen Stamps Blog so that you don't miss one fabulous creation.  

I thought and thought about the card I was going to create for Angelica and I had such a mixed bag of emotions about it.  On one had, I'm so very happy for her and this opportunity with  her career, BUT on the other hand, my first reaction to hearing the news that she'll be leaving Peachy Keen was sad, and by that I mean sad for me, because I'm sure gonna miss her!  She has shown tremendous leadership, diplomacy, kindness  and grace serving as our DT Coordinator.  She has been a wonderful motivator, and she has nurtured and encouraged us both personally and professionally.  It has been a wonderful three years, and again... I'm sure gonna miss her!!  Here's my card for Angelica using the Misty Sue and Colby Cheer Up stamp set. 

 I colored the image with Copics, and combined patterned paper from my stash with that fancy bling (found at PKS), some Stampin' Up! ribbon, and I even did some faux stitching around the circle.  As of Monday, this will be on the way to its intended just to let her know that yes... I'll say it again...  I MISS YOU!!!!

Now, as long as you're hopping along with us today, I hope you're taking a moment to leave comments for our designers, BECAUSE four of our designers, but we don't know which four, will be giving away a $20 Gift Certificate to Peachy Keen Stamps.  You'll increase your chance of winning if you make sure you comment on each blog, and please be sure to leave a comment for Angelica and wish her well on the PKS Blog.  Winners will be randomly chosen and announced on the PKS Blog on Tuesday evening.

Thank you so very much for stopping by today!  I'm the last stop on this hop, and I hope you've enjoyed the creations from the heart that you've seen.  Below, please find the complete hop order, just in case you missed a stop, OR in case you'd like to go back and check it all out again.
