Dear Friend

***Before my main post, I just want to remind you all that Google Reader will be shut down on July 1, 2013. If you haven't done so, please follow my blog through Bloglovin' (HERE are easy to follow instructions on the migration process) and NinaB Designs Facebook, and I'm also on Pinterest. Thank you, friends!***

It has been a very busy week. We had 15 guests from America who helped us organize an English Camp in our little Croatian town. We had almost 200 kids and had to reject over 50 because of limited space. It was a lot of work for everyone, but SO worth it! Christ was exalted; memories were made; new friendships were formed and old ones renewed. It was another successful camp and many kids are already looking forward to 2014! I'm thankful for all the many friends, both Croats and Americans, who made it possible.

Today's card is one I made for TCM's recent release but didn't get to post due to the camp. I used two of my latest sets, Beautiful Rose and Fancy Flourishes, this month's FREE with $50 purchase or you can purchase it by itself for $12. The papers are again the lovely Penelope by Hot Off the Press. The pearls are by Want2Scrap.

The beautiful lacey circle is die cut using Spellbinders Asian Accents. Seam binding with a small rose flower add more to the feminine flair. Is it too girly? :)

The Craft's Meow's June Release Blog Hop

Welcome to The Craft's Meow's June Release Blog Hop. Thank you for joining us today. If you came from Lin's blog, then you're at the right spot. To see the full list, make sure you visit the TCM blog. I have 2 cards to show you today.

My first card uses 3 of the new sets: Beautiful Rose (rose), Sweet Memories (frame) and Kindred Spirits (sentiment). The papers on both cards are Penelope by Hot Off the Press. The pearls are by Want2Scrap. The rose was colored with Copic markers.

For this one, I used Sweet Memories, Beautiful Rose (sentiment and circle rose) and an old favorite, Beautiful Spring (butterfly).

Here you can see better the dimensions of my card. I love using my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Foam Squares to achieve this. The circle rose was die cut using a Spellbinders Classic Circle die.

The Craft's Meow is giving away all the new sets. Participants are not required to leave comments on each blog, but they have a better chance to win because TCM will randomly draw a name from one of our blogs for a winner. The deadline to comment is 8:00pm PDT, Saturday June 23rd.

Your next stop is my friend -->> Sharri<<--.

 On a personal note, I just want to say thank you to so many of you who emailed, sent me a note and commented saying that you're praying for me during my gallbladder problems. Your prayers were answered in so many ways. God's goodness has been evident every step of the way. I am still on the mend and trying to taking it slow. I hope to be back to normal soon.

TCM Previews: Beautiful Rose

Welcome to The Craft's Meow's June previews. Today we're showing the Beautiful Rose set, which includes a collage label (that can fit inside Spellbinders Labels 8 dies), line art for coloring, sweet sentiments, etc.

I stamped the Rose label and colored it with Copics, then die cut it. The papers are Penelope by Hot Off the Press. These gorgeous papers are so beautifully coordinated. I will be showing more of this collection in future posts.

The borders are die cut with Spellbinders Classic Petal Edgeabilities, which are accented with Want2Scrap pearls. The label and borders were adhered using SAby3L's 3D Foam Squares.

Make sure you go to the TCM blog for more info on today's previews. Have a great day!
