We’re so excited you can join us! There will be four prizes drawn at random from the eligible hoppers... We’ll give away two of the Busy Bunnies set from the October Catalog and two flower sets from the January Catalog! All blog hoppers who comment on all the blogs will receive an email with a really cute bonus project and directions!!

Here is my first project for the hop. I am totally thrilled that this is in the October 2010 catalog! Mostly because I just love this card. Its so bright, springy, and I didn’t put the sentiment in a “normal” place. Way to go me! :) (Let’s face it. I am pretty type-A and lining things up is very important. Its a big step for me. :)) And note the sentiment stamped in watermark ink on the card base. I forget to add subtle details like that to my cards. Time to throw that one back into my repertoire.

Supplies: Stamps-Stampendous Clear(SSC1090 Block Art Beautiflowers), Copics (BG000, R22, R24, R27, YR02, YR04, YR07, YG03, YG17, G07), Ink-Memento (Tuxedo Black), Versamark (Watermark),Ribbon-Creative Impressions, Spellbinders-Classic Scalloped Rectangle Large)

This card will be in the January 2011 catalog coming out at CHA. (Don’t you LOVE how they shoot these for catalogs? Could they come to my house please? :)) Of all the cards I have made, this one would rank in my top 2. Seriously. I love it. The colors and the papers just worked. I love the image. Its so beautiful and serene. Makes me want to go to Italy, and I have a thing for poppies.

Supplies: Stamps-Stampendous Wood (M234 Poppy Scene), Copics-R22, R24, R27, G40, G82, G94, E53, E55, E57, E29, E37, BG000, O), Ink-Memento (Tuxedo Black), Clearsnap (Colorbox Chalk-Creamy Brown), Patterned paper-October Afternoon (Thrift Shop 8x8)
