A Sketch Card and Two Exciting News!

Happy Monday! I hope you had a relaxing weekend and was able to squeeze in some crafting time. Today's a sad day for me as my girls return to school. We had a great break, though, and are now counting the weeks till Easter break in a few months.

Today's card is for Stamp TV's sketch challenge. The cardstocks are GinaK Rocket Red; papers are Cosmo Cricket Jolly By Golly (music sheet) and Early Bird. The circle and scallop circle are die cut using Spellbinders dies. And of course, I had to use my latest stamp set, Gleefully Yours. I hope you can join us for this week's sketch challenge.

You make my heart sing

And now for my exciting news... First, SRM Stickers just announced their new DT members on their post here. Not only was it fun to see some good friends, esp my co-crafter in Croatia, Jane Beljo, make that list, but I have been asked to stay on as Emeritus DT for SRM Stickers. What a blast this past year has been designing for them and I'm so glad I get to continue doing that this year. I love my stickers :-).

And my second exciting news...Layers of Color will have a New Release Blog Hop on January 17. Not only am I participating in this, but the LOC team will also feature something I've been working on for several months now. I am now designing stamps for LOC! I will have 3 new clear art stamp sets, along with Laura's 2 new cling art stamps, releasing on Jan 17 and I can't wait to share them all with you. The badge below has a sneak peek of what's coming! There will be lots of inspiration and giveaways a week prior to the hop. I hope you can join us. Read all about my exciting news on the LOC blog:

I have more exciting news to share, but they will have to wait till the end of the week! I'm just telling you, they're to DIE for :-).

    "to DIE for" :) prava si. Čestitam na novom angažmanu! Sve više i više mi se sviđau LOC štambilji. Naročito jer nemaju tekst nego samo slikice :) i to jako lijepe slikice.
