An Exciting Announcement, Blog Candy, and Our First Ever StopAndScrap Bog Hop!


Hi everyone!
I am super excited to announce that I was asked to be on the new StopandScrap design team! 


They invited 10 AMAZING paper crafters and myself! I'm not worthy...I'm not worthy! :)
It is truly an awesome group of ladies who are already well known in the crafting world, so I am sure you will recognize some names. There was absolutely  no way I could say no to such a sweet offer! A great team and the fact that I LOVE designer papers! :)

The shop is awesome too! They get the latest and greatest designer papers and embellishments on the market! They have a pre-order option before they are even released to the general public! There is also a very generous  Rewards Program that you can join to earn shopping credits. 

That's my announcement, and now, without further ado....
WELCOME TO THE VERY FIRST StopAndScrap BLOG HOP!
Each of the designers will be sharing a project made with their favorite  designer papers that are available in the shop. Every designer will also have a name drawn from the comments on their blog for a $20.00 gift certificate! The more you comment, the greater your chances to win one of the (11) $20.00 gift certificates! 

Make sure and visit the StopAndScrap blog for all of the details!

I created a Mother's Day card for my mom with some fun Basic Grey "PB&J" papers.


Here is a close up view and you can click on the image for an even closer look. :)

    WOWEEE!!! You are gifted!! Congratulations on becoming a history maker with SAS:) I can see why they chose you---your card is super:) I love the patterned paper that you used for the leaves and roses---I wouldn't have thought of placing a button or large size pearl in the center of a rose, not would I have thought about using the pearls with the polka dot paper---but they all work together so fabulously:) Is that a word? :)Thank you for sharing, the op to win, and for allowing me to glean from you:) be blessed
