Sent with Love

Today's card features Layers of Colors' new stamps to be released next week. I used LOC's Gifts of Love and Honesweet sets. I followed the Card Patterns' sketch this week. The papers are Echo Park's For The Record, which I've been dying to have and it's finally here! The bee and label were die cut using Spellbinders dies.

 

Please check out the other LOC DTs' blogs for more sneak peeks of our new stamps:

And don't forget our release blog hop on July 11th! I can't wait to show you the new goodies! They just speak to my vintage-loving heart :-).

Before I show you my cards today, I just want to direct your attention to the Moxie Fab World's Stamp of Approval post that is giving away some fabulous Layers of Colors stamps! Woohoo, LOC!

Now onto today's cards...they feature the new SRM Stickers Fancy Sentiments and they're available for purchase now on the SRM online store, along with other BRAND NEW stickers.

For the first card, I used the Christmas Fancy Sentiments, October Afternoon papers and Spellbinders label  dies.

My second card uses the Thank You Fancy Sentiments and Graphic 45 papers.

Teacup Blessings

I'm so excited to show you sneak peeks of Layers of Color's Summer 2011 release. My card today features Teacup Blessings, which is a collaborative work between me and Laura Campbell, the owner of Layers of Color. She drew the pretty teacup and I designed the sentiments to go with it.

The papers are Crate Paper's Emma's Shoppe. I colored the cup with Copics. I stamped the text background from LOC's The Love Chapter on the bottom patterned paper.

You're invited to the LOC Blog Hop next week with lots of inspiration and giveaways!

New SRM Stickers Fancy Sentiments!

I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. We couldn't think of a better way to spend it in Croatia than being with our American friends. We went to visit a beautiful place in Croatia called Plitvicke Lakes. I have tons of photos to sort out, but I will share them with you soon. I have been so busy (in a good way!) with them here that I've neglected updating my blog. I have tons to share with you all, including sneak peeks of new products I get to work with!

In the meantime, I am so thrilled to be among the first to play with SRM Stickers' new Summer CHA release called Fancy Sentiments. This new line of stickers is just my style. I'm so glad to showcase a couple of cards I made using the Love theme stickers. The papers and cardstock stickers are Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden. The bird cage and butterflies on my first card are from The Craft's Meow's Fly Free stamps.

Be the first to win these new stickers by leaving a comment on the SRM Blog!

Tomorrow, I will have sneak peeks of some new stamps I designed for Layers of Color!

What I've been up to...

I've been busy all week with some friends from GA. They came to help us organize an English camp in our small town through a local school and our church. It was a huge success with 140 kids plus 30 or so volunteers. To compare, we had 60 signups last year! We met so many wonderful kids and their parents. We played games, taught English, did crafts and had a blast! Here's a 8.5 minute slide show I put together that shows some highlights of the camp and another snippet of our life in Croatia.
