Eureka Stamps Blog Hop

Hi there.  Welcome to the Eureka Stamps Blog Hop!  Our theme this month is Graduation/Wedding.  Since it is that time of year ALREADY!  Anyway, if you are arriving here from Jessica's Blog, then you are on the right path.  If this is your first stop, then head back to the main Eureka Blog, and start from the top of the hop.  Here is what I created for this one. 

Sorry the photo is a little blurry.  I recently got a full-time job, and my crafting time is next to non-existent.  Then you add on my lack of creativity due to a lot of personal junk going on in my life...and well...taking a photo at 8:30pm doesn't work very well...lol.  Anyway, for my image I used the Lg. Graduation Girl Stamps.  I stamped her and colored with markers.  Then I fussy cut her out, and layered onto some purple PP from my stash.  I added the Vertical Congratulations stamp for a sentiment. 

Well that is all from here.  Head on over to...

Thanks for stopping!

Hi there! Today I wanted to share a card I made using the Faith Hope stamp from Biblical Impressions. This stamp is actually one big stamp, but I cut it into 4 sections.

 As you can see, I went with a long card this time. I cut each part of the stamp apart, and layered onto the base. I did some paper piecing for the flower pots, and colored the rest of the image with marker.

For the watering can, I used some liquid pearl (as you can see from above). Last I hand wrote the sentiment on using a marker.

Well that is all from me for now. Have a great Monday!

Little Bees

Ok...so how many of us own stamps of bugs...and love them...however if we see the real thing we completely freak out? Yeah you know it is true...lol. I know I am terrified of real bugs, but I love the stamps. Which is one of the reasons I picked these cute little bees from Biblical Impressions. See...cute...but the real thing would make me freak. These are actually 2 different stamps. The Honeybee comes in 2 stamps so you can get him facing either direction. I stamped them off on cream CS, and fussy cut them out. Next I layered them onto some floral PP from my stash. For this one, I used some cream ribbon scraps and added a knot. Then layered the bees on using pop-dots. For this one, I used a sticker for a sentiment, and then pop-dots to put the bees on.

Both very simple, but they are actually gift enclosure size (3x3). Perfect for a summer gift!

Baby Animals

Hi there. Today I wanted to CAS card I made using the adorable Baby Animals stamp from Eureka Stamps. This is such a cute image for a baby card. Sorry the color is a little off. I took the photo outside, and it was starting to rain, so I had to make it "snappy"...lol. Anyway...I stamped the image and colored with watercolor crayons. Then I fussy cut it out and glued onto a piece of solid peach PP. For the base, I used the other side of the peach PP and layered onto a white CS base. I added some ribbon and some homemade crocheted flowers.

That is all for now! Have a great Monday!

Biblical Impressions Blog Hop - Wing It

Hi there, and welcome to the Biblical Impressions Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Jessica B's blog, then you are on the right path. If this is your first stop, then head on over to the main Biblical Impressions Blog, and start from the top.

This month we are featuring "Wings"...so basically anything with wings. The birds, and bees, and well...yeah I guess not really that kinda thing...but you know what i mean...lol. Well here is what I came up with.

For my card I decided to use the Lg. Dragonfly stamp. I think dragonflies are pretty neat...well at least the ones that you can ink up and stamp. Not going to lie, the real ones freak me out...lol. I stamped this guy onto cream CS, and trimmed it down. Next, I stamped the wings again on silver metallic paper, and paper pieced the wings onto the first dragonfly. Then I colored his body with green colored pencil, and added some smootch to it. Next i layered onto some green polka dot PP, and brown CS. I also added some cream ribbon. For the sentiment, I used a sticker.

Well that is all from me, now head on over to see what...

Sarosa

...has in store for you.

Eureka Stamps Blog Hop - Butterflies

Hi there, and welcome to the Eureka Stamps Butterfly Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Jessica B's blog, then you are on the right path. If this is your first stop, please head back to the main company blog, and start the hop from the top! This time around we are featuring some of the gorgeous butterfly stamps available at the Eureka Stamps Store. For my card, I chose the Butterfly Background Stamp.

I stamped this image onto black CS using Versamark ink, and then embossed with sticky powder. Next I used the rainbow rub-on foil on the butterflies. I love the look it gives. Such a simple thing to do, but such pretty results. Next I trimmed down the black CS, and layered onto some yellow CS, and then onto a cream CS base. For the sentiment, I used a sticker.

Well that is all from me. Head on over to...

Kristie's Blog

...and see what beautiful butterfly creation she has for you! Thanks for hopping!

Flower Thank Yous

Well I shared some Thank Yous I made using one of the Eureka Stamps, so now I will share the ones I made using the adorable Single Ribbon Flower Stamp from Biblical Impressions. For this one, I used the same purple and cream CS and some purple ink. (Can you tell purple is my favorite color?) I simply stamped the image in the corners, and added a sticker for the sentiment.
I was going to color the roses, but I am really into the non-colored look right now. Now I need to get to work helping my DD write all these notes!

Ladybug Thank Yous

Hello there. Happy Monday. Over the weekend, my youngest DD had her birthday party. So I needed some Thank Yous for her to send to her friends. I have been trying to use up supplies in my craft room, so I pulled out these pre-cut purple and cream papers again. (Yes I still have some...lol) I trimmed the cream CS to fit on the purple CS. Then I used the Ladybug Border stamp from Eureka Stamps and purple ink.
For the sentiment, I used a marker and hand wrote the Thank You. Very simple, but perfect for my DD to send to her friends. Thanks for stopping by!

Caring Thoughts

Today I wanted to share a card I made using the Tulip Frame stamp from Eureka Stamps. This great image comes in two sizes. I used the larger of the two. I love this image, because it pretty much makes the card with just one stamp. I stamped this one on cream CS, and colored with water color crayons. I trimmed it down, and layered onto a purple CS square, and a pastel green base. For a sentiment I used a sticker. Such a pretty spring image!

Light of the World

Hi there. Wow...what a weekend! We had some gorgeous unseasonably warm weather. I swear it hit almost 80 yesterday. Here is WNY, we usually have snow still! We spent our entire weekend enjoying the outside fresh spring air. Bikes, scooters, basketball, walks, sidewalk chalk...oh I love it! Well I did manage to take a few minutes to sneak off to my craft room and create a pretty Easter card using the John 8:12 stamp from Biblical Impressions. I found the cross PP in my stash left over from a project I made last year. I thought it went perfect with this stamp (and it was already cut to fit a card front exact!). I layered the PP onto some kraft CS, and added the ribbon. The image, I stamped onto some silver metallic CS, and added some glitter to the tulips. I love the simple colors of this card.
Well that is all for now. Have a fabulous day!

SNSSDC - BLOG HOP!!! - New Releases!

HI there! Hope you all had a fabulous week. I must say it was lovely here in WNY. We had some gorgeous weather. The girls got their bikes and scooters out, and mom got to take some nice walks with friends too! I love spring! My favorite part of spring is seeing the green popping up through the mud and brown grass. Speaking of Green...that is our challenge this week at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. Now...how you take that idea of "green" is up to you. This is also a special challenge week for us because we are also featuring the brand new Sweet 'n Sassy March Digi Releases! And they are fab!
Well...onto my project. I was thinking "green", and decided to reuse something (so I started with that kind of being green). I saved these puzzle pieces from my girls old puzzles that were missing pieces. I liked them because they are so big. So I mod-podged them together and went from there. Now...for the rest of my "green"....I went with the color green. I used some green PP from my stash and mod-podged it onto the puzzle pieces. Next I used the brand new SNSS Digi release Psalm 46:1. My original project for this hop was going to use one of the other images, but after printing this one out and rereading it, it really hit home to me. Love how GOD works like that sometimes...He shows you what you need when you need it. Well...I layered the image onto the puzzle pieces, and added some green stickles around it to "hide" the paper edges. For my embellishment, I use a couple chipboard flowers I found in my stash. I covered the first one with dark green CS. The 2nd on, I took just the little inside of the petals out and covered those with light green CS. I then layered that onto the puzzle pieces, and added stickles to make it pop.

Well that is all I got for you. Be sure to head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge Blog, and hop along with all of us DT Gals. Then play along...and don't forget to order your new digi images from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps!

Eureka Stamps Blog hop - Easter/Spring

HI there and welcome to the Eureka Stamps blog hop! Our theme this time is Easter or Spring. If you arrived here from Ceal's Blog, then you are on the right path. If you are just starting here, then head on over to the Main Eureka Blog, and start from the top! You won't want to miss a beat of this one! Here is my project... I just feel in love with these adorable little chicks! This image is called Chicks in Egg, and comes in 2 sizes. ( I used the larger one.) I stamped it off and colored with watercolor crayons. I fussy cut it down, and layered onto a purple CS circle. I also wanted a little dimension to my card, so i used some foam tape to pop the little eggs around the big egg. My PP was from my stash (since I am focusing on using only what is already in my craftroom. The sentiment is the Happy Easter stamp also from Eureka stamps. I stamped that off on purple CS, and layered onto the base.

Well that is all from me for now. Head on over to...

SNSSDC - Color Challenge

Hi there. Today we have a new challenge fro you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi challenge. This time around we have a color challenge for you. The colors are Blue, Brown, and Yellow. I was trying to decided what to do for this one, when I found this pre-colored digi in the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps store. That is right...pre-colored! Since my creativity has been a bit mushy lately...I thought this would help me. I printed out the Gretchen's Swing Colored Digi, and trimmed it down. That already had the blue and brown on it, so I knew I just needed some yellow papers. I layered onto a piece of SU PP from my stash, and added the yellow ribbon from my stash. Last, I added the little crocheted flower (which my mommy made for me), and a brown button. Very very simple, but a cute everyday type greeting card.
Now head on over to the SNSSDC Blog and see what the rest of the DT gals created, and then play along!

Biblical Impressions Blog Hop - Spring!

Hi there, and welcome to the Biblical Impressions DT Blog Hop! If you just arrived here from Sarah's Blog, then you are on the right path. If you are starting here, then please head back to the main Biblical Impressions Blog, and start from the top of the hop order. Our theme this month is "Spring"! Don't know about where you live, but here my tulips and daffodils are starting to pop up. Oh I love spring! So for my card I picked a stamp with tulips. I have been trying to use up some of the papers in my stash (...and staying FAR away from the craft stores), so I pulled out this paper set from TAC. There was a bunch of pre-cut tags, so I thought it would be fun to stamp on one of those. I used brown ink, and stamped the Tulips stamp from Biblical Impressions onto that. I layered that onto a piece of tan PP, and used some green fibers for embellishment. I used a sticker for my sentiment. A very simple card, but lately that is all my brain can make...lol.

Now head on over to...

True Friends...

Hi there. Quick post for me today. Gotta run to work...uggggg. I wanted to share a card I made using the Eureka Stamps True Friends stamp. I have some wonderful friends in my life right now that are helping keep me together. SO this stamp made me think of them.

I stamped the image onto cream CS, and trimmed it down. I stamped again on white CS so I could make fluffy clouds. I used watercolor crayons to color the rainbow, and layered onto pink CS. I used some rainbow CS for the background and layered onto a cream CS base.

Well I am off to work...lucky me! LOL

SNSSDC - Cats and Dogs

HI there! Happy Friday. I hope you all had a lovely week. I got sick earlier this week. I am a horrible sick person...lol. I get super whiny and needy...so yeah...I am extra fun to be around...lol. Anyway we have a new challenge for you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge Blog today. Our challenge today is Cats and Dogs! Here is what I came up with. I started with the adorable Playful Pup Digi from the Sweet 'n Sassy store. I printed this guy, and colored with watercolor crayons. (Gotta say...we just got new printer ink, and for some reason it is "off"...so all my digis printed a little funny...but I think I covered it pretty well..lol.) I trimmed the image down and layered onto some brown CS. Next I layered that onto some cloud PP. This little guys looked like he needed to run around on some fluffy spring clouds. I used some pink twine and a yellow button as embellishments. I layered all that onto a yellow CS base.
Now head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge Blog, and see what the rest of the DT gals have created. Then play along!

SNSSDC - Tent Card

We have a new challenge for you this week at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. I must say...this is a fun one. This time around we challenge you to make a Tent Card using a digi image. HERE is the splitcoast tutorial on how to make them. Gotta say, I don't think I have ever made one of these, but I LOVE the way it turned out. I think what I like the most, is it is easy for the receiver to display your homemade creation. For my card, I used the Chef Cocoa digi from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I colored in the image with watercolor crayons, and fussy cut it out. For the base, I used white CS, and layered the kitchen themed PP onto that. The PP on the front has various spices names all over it. The reverse side is the kitchen tools. I used some green PP for a little frame around the opening. I added Cocoa and then some little kitchen tool embellishments. I really liked making the tent card, and plan to do it again very soon.
Give it a try! First, head on over to the SNSSDC Blog and see what the rest of the DT gals created. Then play along!

Stain Glass Wannabe...

Ok...so I had this vision to create a "stained glass" looking card. Started out great! Loved the way it was going. Then I got stuck...and am not thrilled with the results, but kinda like it. It was all good until I got back to the project and found it all curled up (since it was vellum and I used glue and H2Os on it). So then I started at it and wondering where to go next. Also, silly me, forgot to take a picture of the back of the vellum before mounting it. The back is what looked pretty cool, and would have showed you how much work when into it...lol. Well...here is what you get instead....and a close up of the edging...
So I started by stamping the Daffodils stamp from Biblical Impressions onto vellum. I then used a glue pen and glitter to fill in some of the areas. You can see that I used different color glitters on the flower. I used some twinkling H2Os for the stems and leaves. Then when you flip over the vellum to the "other side" the colors show through. (Again, I totally should have taken a photo before I mounted, but yeah...that slipped my mind.) Like I said, when I came back to the image after letting it dry, it was a bit curled up. So I needed to change my mounting plan. I decided to use scor-tape to hold it down. I picked a wider tape so that I could use black glitter around the edges to look like the molding of the stain glass. AGAIN...epic fail...couldn't find the black glitter...lol. So I went with black embossing powder. Honestly...I loved the results of that. The way it melted looked more "realistic", so I went with it. Then came the tricky part...what to do next. So I went simple, and just mounted that onto some purple CS, and said...IT IS DONE! I would have liked to have added a sentiment somehow, but ran out of space. Overall, it is very pretty and different. It could be used for some many different occasions also. Well thanks for stopping by, and have a fantastic day!

Pot of Gold

Hi there. I hope you are all enjoying your Monday so far. Here in the US it is a holiday...plus my kids have the entire week off of school too. They of course are off skiing...lol. Well, today I wanted to share a card with you that I made using the Lg. Pot of Shamrocks stamp from Eureka Stamps. I stamped the image and fussy cut it out. Then I added some gold stickles to the handle, and colored the shamrocks green. I felt some of the shamrocks needed to sparkle, so I added green stickles to some of those. I layered the pot onto 2 different shades of green CS, and then onto a green PP that I "stole" from my DD's paper stack (psss...don't tell her...lol). Then I found some scraps of green ribbon. I wanted to put a bow on, but there wasn't enough ribbon left, so I just put the 2 pieces on the paper instead.
Well that is all for now. I will be back in a bit with a card I made with a card I made with a Biblical Impressions stamp. However I decided to make it a little more "elaborate" then I originally intended, so it had to sit and dry before I mounted it...lol.

SNSSDC - Photo Inspiration

Hi there! Today we have a new challenge for you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. Our challenge this time around is to use this....photo as your inspiration. Don't those little treats look so yummy? Well, when I looked at this photo, I decided to focus more on the flowers then the food (since I really don't need the food...lol). The flowers reminded me of the flowers that Cocoa is holding in the Lilacs for Cocoa digi from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. Yes, I know lilacs are usually purple...however I used my "creative licence" to make them pink...lol. I colored in the image with watercolor crayons, and then used brown ink and a stipple brush around the edges. I used a corner rounder on all my layered except the base and the polka dots. For my sentiment, I used one of the sayings from the Flower Sentiments Digi set from SNSS. I also stippled on that one. Last, I added a few brown "pearls". So I used the photo inspiration for color and the flowers. How will you use it? Be sure to head on over to the SNSSDC Blog and see how the rest of the DT gals used the photo, and then link up your project!

SNSSDC - Hats Off to You!

Hello there. As you are reading this, I am probably at my DDs' school going insane! That is right...the event myself and my dear friend have been planning for a year now is finally here! This is the biggest fundraiser for our school, and I am the crazy lady who signed up to co-chair the entire event. I will say...it is a lot of work, but I think in the end it will be so rewarding to see it all come together. In honor of that I thought a Celebration card was in order. Our challenge this week at teh Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge Blog is "Hats Off...", so use a digi image with a hat, or have hats as an element with your digi image. So I thought the Celebrate digi from SNSS was perfect for my Celebration card. My photo isn't the greatest again this week because I had to take it late at night after spending 12 hours straight at the school...lol. For my image, I added a little bit of color with marker, and then used some fun flock on the kitty. I layered onto a piece of PP from Echo Park. For the base, I pulled out the ol' Cuttlebug (which I haven't used in FOREVER!) and ran some yellow CS through with an embossing folder. I added some ribbon too. A simple cute Celebration card!

Now head on over to the SNSS Digi Challenge Blog, and see what the rest of the DT gals created for your inspiration, then play along!

Biblical Impressions Blog Hop - Love

Hi there. Welcome to the Biblical Impressions DT Blog hop! This month we are featuring stamps that go with the "Love" theme. I decided to make some Valentine's cards for my DD to use at school. I shared some of the other ones earlier this week, so today for the hop, I will share the rest of the ones I made using Biblical Impressions stamps!

So...first some house keeping. If you arrived here from Jessica's blog, then you are on the right path. If not, then head on back to the main Biblical Impressions/QKR Stampede Blog, and start from the top so you don't miss a project.

Well if you are on the right track, then here is my project....

The close up.... For these Valentine's cards, I used the Valentine stamp on the bottom. I stamped it with purple ink, onto the cream CS. For my main image, I used the adorable Infatuate Toad stamp. I stamped him with green ink, and like the other cards I made, I didn't' color them in. My reasoning...I wanted my girls to be able to color them for their friends.

Now, I will send you off to your next stop on the hop...

Class Valentines - 1/2 of Set 2...

So here is class Valentine's Set 2....well 1/2 of set 2. I used 2 different stamps for this set. Both from Biblical Impressions. For this set, I used the Swirl Heart stamp and the Valentine sentiment stamp. ...and a close up... I stamped the hearts twice on these with pink ink, and then the sentiment with purple ink. Like the last set, the papers were already cut, so it was really quick to whip off for me. I will share the rest of this set with you later this week during the Biblical Impressions DT Blog hop. Thanks for stopping by!

Class Valentines - Set 1!

Today I wanted to share class set #1 of my daughters' Valentines. I have to make 3 class sets, and of course they all have to be different...lol. The nice thing was I already had the papers all cut for a different project that I have since scratched from my to-do list. So...that part was easy. I also thought it would be fun to not color the images so that my DDs can color them before giving to their friends. So...for set number 1, I used the adorable Hearty Dragon stamp from Eureka Stamps.

So that is the class set...and here is a close up... Super cute! Love this stamp. I stamped them on cream CS with purple ink. Then I used a pink ink to stamp the Happy Valentine's Day stamp (also from Eureka Stamps). Next was some quick mounting, and all set! Actually my oldest DD helped me mount them all onto the purple CS base. She did a really good job centering them too! Now I will just have my youngest DD write her name on the back and they are ready to pass out to her friends next week!

SNSSDC - Valentines

Hi there. Hope your February started out well. I am currently in overload. One week from Sunday is my big auction event that I am co-chairing. I will then hopefully re-appear more here in blogland...lol. We are down to the wire, and in the process my creative side is getting ignored...well my creative stamping I should say. Well, today we have a new challenge for you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. This time around it is Valentines...which by the way I usually make for my kids, and haven't' even started....uggggg!!!! Well here is what I came up with for our challenge this week. For Christmas, my mom gave me a gift card, and it came in this cute little "bag" holder. Well, I pulled it apart, traced it, and made my own...lol. I used pink CS as my base for the little bag GC holder. Then I layered a piece of heart PP from Echo Park onto that. I then layered the adorable Cocoa's Heart Digi (which I colored with watercolor crayons). I added a sticker for the sentiment too.

This is a shot showing you how the gift card goes in. Super cute little valentine for someone! Now head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the DT gals came up with. Then play along!

SNSSDC - Dessert Anyone???

Hello there. Today we have a new challenge for you over at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. Our challenge this time around is Desserts. Grab a digi with a dessert theme, and show us what you made. Here is my dessert creation... Sorry the photo is so dark. I tried to lighten it up, and it got all discolored. I started my new job a few weeks ago (it is just a temporary one, but it is something for now), and been working everyday. That is a little different for someone who hasn't worked outside the home for almost 5 years now. Plus, I am running our school auction that is only 16 days away!!!!! PANIC MODE has totally set it. So needless to say, I didn't get to work until late into that evening last night, and the lighting was terrible by the time I got to the camera. So...anyway. FOr my card, I used the Cocoa's Sundae digi from SNSS. I colored with colored pencils and gamsol, and layered onto some cherry PP from the Target $1 spot. The sentiment is cut out from one of the other papers in the same paper set. I added some stickles to the cherry so it was sparkly like the ones on the PP.
Well that is all...I am off to work very soon, then spending my entire weekend working on auction stuff. be sure to head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi challenge blog and see what the rest of the DT ladies have created. Also check and see if you are the lucky winner from last week's blog hop!

Ok...this is only the 2nd time I have made and easel card, and I really like them. They really are very easy to do, and look soooo cute! What a great card idea for someone that you know will display the card on their desk or table or mantel. For my card I started with the little coffee and donut image from the You & Me digi set. That is right...SET of digis...you get a whole bunch of these adorable little images including sentiments...and the best part...you buy them now, you use them NOW! Well, after getting my image colored, I couldn't find the right PP to use with my card. SOOOO....I made my own! I simply copied and pasted the digi image and printed on some pink CS. I love the way it turned out. I layered my homemade PP onto the card base. Next i added the colored image and the sentiment. The sentiment is also from one of the new digi release sets called True Friends. This is a complete set of great friendship sentiments.

Balloon Hearts

I thought I would share a cute kitty card with you today using the Balloon Kitty Stamp from Eureka Stamps. This super cute image is available in 2 sizes as well as digi format! I used the larger one, stamped it off and colored with watercolor crayons. I trimmed it down, and layered onto some PPs from Echo Park. I added some purple ribbon, and a sticker for the sentiment.

Well that is all for now...have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Birthday Balloons

HI there! I hope you are having a wonderful Monday. Today I wanted to share a very CAS card I made for using the Balloons stamp from Biblical Impressions. Since we celebrated my middle DD's birthday yesterday, I thought it would be fun to make a birthday card. I stamped the image and colored with watercolor crayons. I used my CM cutting system to cut the oval. I also cut and oval from the purple PP from Echo Park. I layered onto a purple CS base, and used the Happy Birthday stamp from BI along the bottom.

Like I said...very CAS, but I thought it was cute for a kids party card.

Thanks for stopping by!

SNSSDC - Monochromatic

Hi there...today we have a new challenge for you at the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge. Our challenge this time is Monochromatic. So...with Valentine's day coming up, I decided to go with pink/red as my color. Here is my card. I decided to start with the adorable Cupid Rhubarb Digi. I colored him with colored pencils and gamsol, then I added some glitter to his wings and the "feathers" of the arrows. The PPs I used are all from a stack I "borrowed" from my DD...lol. I loved the papers and kinda "borrowed" them from her. I added some little heart brads to the corners of the card too.

Now head on over to the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Blog and see what the rest of the DT gals have created for your inspiration. Then play along!

Biblical Impressions Winter Blog Hop

Hi there...welcome to the Biblical Impressions Winter themed blog hop. If you arrived here from Sarah's Blog, then you are on the right path...if not then head on back to the main Biblical Impressions Blog and start the hop from the top! Our theme this month is winter...not that we have had much of it here in WNY. We usually have at least a foot of snow on the ground by now, and well...I see my grass right now. My daughters are so upset...since they love to ski. Well here is the card I came up with for the hop. I started with the Patchwork Glove Stamp from Biblical Impressions. I stamped it off and colored with watercolor crayons. Next, I layered onto some PP from Echo Park. I added some ribbon, and some little gems to the corners. I wanted to go "winter" without the holiday reds and greens...lol...so I went with the mint color for my card.

Well that is all from me, head on off to your next stop on the hop...
