Hi Everyone!
It's a special week this week - Skipping Stones Design is teaming up with the folks at the Twinery for one fabulous 2-day blog hop!
Just in case you missed the beginning, head on back to the Skipping Stones Design blog to start yesterday's blog hop!
Anyway, on to my post, shall we? If you arrived here from LAUREN BREWER'S blog, you're at the right place! If not, mosey on back to Skipping Stones Design or The Twinery blogto start back at the beginning! There might be blog candy along the way AND there are some fabulous prizes to be won!
The Twinery will be giving away a 'Colorful Bunch Sampler Pack' (retail $20). For a chance to win, simply visit each blog and leave a comment - don't forget both days of hopping! The winner will be announced on the Twinery blog on Sunday, May 27.
... AND Skipping Stones Design will be giving away the new Grapeful set along with a SURPRISE set - one winner will receive BOTH sets. Don't forget to comment!
The deadline for leaving comments is 11:59pm EDT, Friday May 25th.
Fun, right?
Anyway, on to my card for this week!
supplies: CS: PTI, Paper Accents, Neenah; DP: My Mind's Eye; stamp set: Grapeful (Skipping Stones Design); ink: Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip (SU!); twine: Peapod, Mandarin, Lemondrop (The Twinery).
My card was super fun to make this week. I absolutely LOVE twine (Yay for The Twinery!) and I really love playing around with it and trying new things. I got this little window idea from one of my SSD sisters who created a card like this a while back and it kind of stuck with me so I thought I'd give a try. I thought it would be a great little frame/window for an adorable stam from the Grapeful set! :)
Oh and don't forget, there's a PMS (Purchase More Stamps) SALE going on at SSD, so if you've been eyeing some new stamps, now's your chance to pick them up!
Buy ONE set: Enter PMS1 for 5% off!
Buy TWO sets: Enter PMS2 for 10 % off!
Buy THREE sets: Enter PMS3 for 15% off!
Buy FOUR sets: Enter PMS4 for 20% off!
Buy FIVE sets: Enter PMS5 for 25% off!
Buy SIX or MORE sets: Enter PMS6 for 30% off!
Whew! That's a whole lot of information in one post, right? Too much? Let me break it down:
1. Start at the SSD or Twinery Blog and start HOPPING and leave comments! Don't forget this hop is 2 days!
2. Purchase More Stamps sale at SSD!
3. Don't forget to join us and play along with our sketch challenge this week!
So yay! If you've gotten through my whole post, I salute you!
This is the last stop on for the blog hop and we SO appreciate you stopping by! Thanks so much! Have a great rest of the week and GOOD LUCK!
Such a bright and cheery card! Thanks for playing along with The Twinery.
