Welcome to July new release blog hop with The Craft's Meow!

If you have arrived here from Jessica Fick's Blog, then you are in the right place!  If not, please head on  over to The Craft's Meow Blog to start from the beginning!
Over the last several days, you've had the chance to win each new set being revealed...but, if you haven't won, yet, fear not!  
If you complete today's blog hop and comment on each blog along the way, you will be eligible to win all 6 new sets!
The deadline to comment is tomorrow Sunday, July 22nd at 9pm PDT.
Ok, so onto my project...

For my project today, I decided to use Sweet Taste of Summer and Summertime with Fibi & Lilly which is July's free gift with $50 purchase!  

These sets are both just SO adorable! They were both designed by Mabelle R-O and they coordinate beautifully!

The little girl and sentiment are from Sweet Taste of Summer, while the sandcastles, sun, and starfish are from Summertime with Fibi & Lilly.

Anyway, I have had SO much fun playing with all of the new stamps from this release which are now available for purchase, here!

It really has been a WONDERFUL month to guest design for TCM!

I hope you've enjoyed stopping by my blog!

Now, please head on over to Elizabeta Kushner's Blog to see what she's cooked up!

Happy Stamping

BBB24 - The Beauty of Winged Things

Hello everyone!

Well, it's been a while since I last posted and I'm glad to be back!

It's time for another Bring Back Beautiful Challenge over at Flourishes...this month, the theme is...

The Beauty of Winged Things! Birds, butterflies, even lady bugs -- let your

creativity flow on this challenge aimed at honouring those creatures with wings on your card or creation! 

Link up your Bring Back Beautiful Challenge creations on the Flourishes Blog to enter.  If you upload to SCS, please use the keyword BBB24.  You have until July 31st to enter!  As we unveil our challenge for next month, we'll share our True Beauties – those card makers who wowed us with this challenge!  Winners will be featured on the Flourishes Blog and will receive a True Beauty blog button to display proudly on their blog.  A big welcome to Geri who won last month's Flourishes challenge and joins us this month on the BBB Challenge team!

Anyway, here is what I came up with:

I used Flourishes' Sweet Days of Summer stamp set and stamped the main image using yellow ink.  The butterflies are a separate stamp from the same set.  I cut out the main image using Spellbinders Floral Ovals and sponged using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Pumice Stone.  I added some pearls to the die-cut and mounted it  over some beautiful patterned papers which had been embellished with a seam binding bow, a pearl, and a gorgeous Crystal Trinket Pin.  The sentiment, which is also from Sweet Days of Summer, was stamped in dark grey ink.

Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing all of your beautiful entries!

Please visit the other gals to and see what beautiful creations they came up with this month:
