"Thoughtful Tidings" For February Blog Hop

Thanks for stopping by from Adeline Brill's Blog for February's Stamp of the Month Blog Hop featuring "Thoughtful Tidings".  This sentiment stamp set has 11 "thoughtful" images.  Best of all, six of the eleven images coordinate with CTMH's Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.  Even better, the stamp set is part of the all-new Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book!!

This month I'm so excited to feature the stunning work of one of my Scrapi sisters and friends, Maureen Sherrill.  I'm trying to convince Maureen to set up her blog so everyone can see the fabulous cards and projects she creates.  I think once she sees all the great comments for this gorgeous and innovative "Easel Card" using the new Lucy Paper Packet, I might be able to persuade her! I just love this and I know you will too!!

Here are Maureen's instructions:

Basic card: cut 2

- 4 1/4 x 11 inches, scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2 inches and fold

- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches, attach this to the bigger

From CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy:

Hearts, page 26, cut at 3 3/4, 3 1/2 and 3 1/4 with the smallest at 2 inches

Flowers, page 68, cut at 2 3/4 and 3 inches.

Heart, page 69, cut at 2 inches

The card also features the NEW Bitty Buds Assortment and the versatile Sweet Leaf Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon.

Happy New Year "Little Reminders" January Blog Hop

Happy 2012 everyone - Thanks for stopping by my Scrapi blog from Pamela O'Connor's Blog to see my artwork for the January 2012 Stamp of the Month, called  "Little Reminders . 

My daughter Haley is turning 11 years old on January 11 so I just had to start one of my New Year's resolutions off early. "Taking time to finally get caught up on my own family's scrapbook" is in the top five of my many resolutions.  It's pretty bad when they are asking if I have any recent albums!!

I used the Dreamin' paper because it's her favorite, my fabulous Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge and coordinating stamp set for "Happy Birthday".  (Sorry about the terrible photography!)

The versatile stamp set is available for only $5 with a $50 CTMH order, or $17.95 alone. And, make sure you check out the incredible "Rock The Block" special only through January 31 by clicking here. It's Rockin'!!

To get this terrific stamp set and "Rockin' Block" set into your hot little hands as soon as possible, click here!

Thanks for visiting. I'd love to have you become a Scrapi Follower and leave me some feedback!  Hope it's a wonderful start to 2012 for everyone!!  Now, on to  the talented Haley Dryer's Blog!!
