DARLENE!!!
My, my, how the time flies!!! Congrats on your Blogaversary!!! This card is adorable and I too LOVE the use of the acetate on the front ... nice way to place a sentiment without covering up the beauty behind! Your blog is ALWAYS fun to come to ... chocked full of ideas and samples! Have a great day and Congrats again!!
Congratulations! I think you already have Swiss Dots, so let me know what other folder you want!
Thanks everyone for the Blogaversary wishes, and sweet comments today! I wish I could afford to send everyone a new Cuttlebug folder, but I'll keep trying to do these kinds of things every now and then to keep giving everyone a chance to win! There are new folders and other exciting things coming out from ProvoCraft in late August and you're going to love it!
Now, onto the Stamp Simply challenge!
Today's challenge is to incorporate some kind of image into your card that involves liquid! It doesn't necessarily have to be coffee, or a hot liquid, but Sharon liked the title for the challenge (and it gave me a GREAT excuse to use her new Stamp Simply set from Flourishes!) I paper pieced my coffee cup, and used all designer paper on this except for the card base, so it came together quickly and simply. Julee's Mojo Monday sketch was also a big help to me in making this card quickly! For more details about the challenge, please go to Sharon's blog, and also to see her terrific sample! (As of this posting, she's running late but keep checking... she'll have it there soon!) And to see great samples from the other design team members, click on their names below... Remember, if you upload your creation to SCS, please use the keywords ssnotime40, and please go back to Sharon's blog and leave a link in the comments, too! We can't wait to see what you come up with! Happy stamping! Stamps: Coffee with Friends (Flourishes); Cardtock: blue/white duplex (Hollo's), designer paper (Boxer by Basic Grey); Inks: Versafine Onyx Black (Tsukineko); Accessories: antique brads (Gary Burlin).
Tammy ... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card... how clever of you to use a strip of each paper from this pack ... FANTASTIC!!!
and
YIPPEE, I won something ... I'll get in touch with you!! Thanks
