The Craft's Meow Farewell Blog Hop

Today we are having a special blog hop...

The Craft's Meow store is closing its doors at the end of December. All stamp sets have been marked down by as much as 75%! Stock is limited... once it's gone, it's gone for good, so please shop early for the best selection. All orders of $25 or more will receive a free gift with purchase. Flat rate shipping is $3.00 for all US orders and $12 for all International orders. Please see the store blog for details, or click over to The Craft's Meow store to start shopping!

If you came from Iwona Palamountain you are in the right place, if not please start at the beginning HERE.

For this special final hop, I created two cards using two favorite stamp sets:

This card features the stamp set Rustic Greetings. The snowflake background was created using a stencil and white Dylusions ink spray.

In light of the sad news, I created this card using my hands down favorite Chalkboard Faith:

The Craft's Meow made quite a mark on the stamping community and I was thrilled to have been a small part. 

I admire Lisa for following the Lord's leading and while for us it is sad, I couldn't be more excited for her and her family!

 Next stop on the hop is Michelle Bertuzzi!! Can't wait to see what she created :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Blessings,

 

Thanks So Very Much

  Hello...today I have a fun card to share using some stamps from Reverse Confetti. I finally caved and placed and order and LOVE the quality of Jen's stamps...they are quite trendy too and once I saw they were adding dies, I was a goner!

I used the current color challenge from Reverse Confetti and combined it with Lots to Say, So Stripey (the Whole Lotta Dots is calling my name...will add that to my next order) and the cute Tag Me dies. 

Here is a look~see at the color challenge:

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

This is a special blog hop for the Moxie Fabbiest...Cath! I have been a part of numerous hops in the past, but this is by far the most special. If you came from Cheryl's blog you are in the right place! If not start at the beginning HERE.

Cath has been a blessing to me in many ways... It was/is always such a treat to have a comment on the blog from her and when she picked me as Moxie Fab of the week I was over the moon excited. The emails back and forth were so fun and she is a huge encourager to people far/wide. She is just endearing...

Cath, truly you are a blessing and have enjoyed getting to know you via paper crafting. I will miss you dearly and know that Moxie Fab won't be the same without you! I pray the best for whatever is next :)

I stenciled the dots to create a fun background and stamped the solid leaf image using a Spectrum ink pad and stamped the outline using Rich Cocoa. The dots were embossed using Memento Luxe Rich Cocoa and gives a great feel to the leaves!!
