CCS Blog Hop=Blog Candy!!!

I am so excited for our second Creative Clear Stamps Blog Hop and this one is focused on the versatile Sentiment Singles line. Each member of the Design Team will be showcasing a different sentiment and giving a new one away to a lucky commenter!

I made both of these cards using the Sentiment Single Nappy Hour from Creative Clear Stamps. I think this is just the cutest sentiment and while some may enjoy a nap themselves....I enjoy the quiet bit of time I get when my youngest (who is 19 months old) takes a nap! That is what I call "my time"...I can read, clean the house, fold laundry, but what do I do a majority of the time, yep, STAMP! :o) All those other things will be there when he wakes up, hee~hee.

For this card I embossed a piece of Basic Grey Lemonade designer paper with the Herringbone folder.  I love the distressed look it gives to the thinner paper.  I then sponged over it with Pretty in Pink to really accentuate the distressing.  These cards also fit perfectly with the Creative Button Challenge this week, how cool is that? :o)

You can win a Creative Clear Stamps Sentiment Single of your own if you sign up to be a Follower on the CCS Blog (if you aren't already) and be sure to check in on these Design Team Members and leave a comment. Each member of the CCS Design Team is giving away a brand new Sentiment Single that is used on their post today!!! So there are 5 chances to WIN!!!! Hopping our blogs will also give you a chance to win a Blog Hop Badge, which helps earn your way into the January Guest Designer Spot!

Blog Candy....and a card!

I made this card using a sketch from Limelight last week. This sentiment Nappy Hour from the Sentiment Singles line of Creative Vision just cracks me up! Again this time I used two different colors of ink (Sage Shadow and Regal Rose) which is easy to do with the Stampin' Spots.

I know that Creative Vision will be having a Design Team call coming up this week so check out the company blog for all of the details at A Fairy Creative Place (make sure you are a follower to get the requirements and updates) I have had a wonderful experience designing for them the past several months and highly recommend it. The quality of stamps is really top notch and some cute and fun holiday stamps will be available soon! Eeeks, so exciting! :o)

Now to some more fun stuff....

I have some blog candy I want to share. You all have been so wonderful to me and I have some goodies to share! Included in the blog candy are three Sentiment Singles stamps: Nappy Hour, Motherhood and I'm Your Friend as well as some ribbon, Silver stickles and a little bling. I figured with it being my birthday Monday why not have blog candy and celebrate...any ideas how old I am?? You have until September 6th to leave a comment (if you spread the word and become a follower you get extra chances to win, of course) and on Monday, September 7th I will draw a winner!

Not sure anyone has noticed, but I have had quite a few Chinese/Japanese commenters leaving "stuff" in my comment section so I having to add a word verification for a bit...sorry for the inconvenience!  

Nappy Hour

I have another card to share using a sentiment from the Sentiment Singles line of stamps from Creative Vision.  I think this saying (Nappy Hour) is so funny and for me, it is so true.  I am most creative when my 16 month old goes down for his nap :o)  Somehow I can clean, cook, and fold laundry, but stamp time is harder to come by when he is underfoot.  

VBS is going very well...the week is flying by and I have been stamping up a storm while my little one naps in the afternoon (hence another reason I love this sentiment!)  

**Blog Candy Alert**  Tina is having some fun blog candy over on her blog today...She is giving away blog candy that will include a Gina K. stamp set, I am all over that one! :o) 

Have a great day!
