Welcome Caring Critters!

Good Morning and welcome to Day 5 of our 'Week of Peeks" . The set we are showcasing today is Jami Bova's "Caring Critters" - it's amazing. She has thought of so many things with this set, like that there are two butterflies each flying a different way so you can choose which butterfly to use based on where you want it on your card. I LOVE that!

There are 2 large images in this set, 2 smaller butterflies, and 5 different quotes/sentiments which makes this a VERY VERSATILE set! Plus it's just plain CUTE!!!

This is Wendy's card and you can see how much fun the bird is with shimmerz on her. I love the colors too :)

Make sure you go to the dt members blogs to see more creations with this set:

Meet Gunther!

I am very pleased to introduce you all to Gunther. Let me tell you a little bit about Gunther...

Gunther's Daddy is my good blogging buddy Curt at Curt's World. Curt not only stamps and makes gorgeous projects, but he has the greatest sense of humor. Every time I visit his blog I end up with a big smile on my face! I love ya Curt! Curt has two of the most adorable Giant Schnauzers, and he always shares wonderful photos of them. I still haven't figured out how he gets them to pose like he does. Seriously...these are photos you'd see on a calendar. Some day I'm gonna hire him to come photograph my dogs!

Once when I visited his blog, he had made a darling card for a sick friend. On the front there was a dog and he had printed the word Heal. How creative!! I love that card. Around the same time, he had a picture of his boys (Gunther & Shotzy) in his banner, and this is how Gunther was laying - with his head cocked to the side and the sweetest expression on his face. And that is how the idea of this set was born. When I first thought of this set, I emailed Curt and asked if I could use his wonderful idea...and I would put Gunther front and center in the spotlight. I am so glad that he said yes! We've asked Curt to join in with previewing this set with us - so be sure to stop by his blog!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to join in the fun with our Inspiration Challenge. Read all the Details below at THIS POST!! You could win this set!!

Hugs, Jami

"Week of Peeks"

Good Morning!! Are you ready for some fun??? Well, this morning starts our "Week of Peeks" at 2RedBananas. Last month was so much fun, we're ready to do it again :)

We are going to do the blog hop just a little differently this month, we wanted to change it up a bit :) We have 9, yes 9 new sets that we will be releasing on March 2nd, and we will show you sneak peeks of each of them before the week is up!

Our blog hop this month involves a challenge for you. We would love for you to play along for chance to win your choice of one of the new releases! It’s an inspiration challenge. Here’s what you do… during the week, you stop by our blogs and check out the sneak peeks. Then you choose any three things from any three projects and create your own. It can be a card, a layout, an altered item…whatever. For example, you may use a layout from one persons card, colors from another, and a certain embellishment from another.

Just post your project to your blog or SCS and tell us in your description where you pulled your three inspirations from. For instance, Jami's layout from her Wrapped in His Love card, Maraya's color combo from "Gunther's Greetings" (wondering what that one is yet :) and the ribbon treatment that Deb used on her "Just Ducky" ( just another name to tease you :) card. Then come back to the 2RedBananas blog and give us a link to your project using Mr Linky at the bottom of this post. (If you upload to SCS, be sure to add 2RedBananas as a keyword)

You can enter as many times as you like!! On Monday March 2nd at 4:00 pm EST/3pm CST the challenge will close and we will choose 2 winners. Both winners can take their pick from the new releases. If there are lots of entries, we just may have to choose more than 2 winners, so be sure to tell your friends to come play along too.
Now for today's Sneak Peeks. Jami, Deb and Jeanette have all made projects using the "Wrapped in His Love" stamp set designed by Jami Bova. It's a FABULOUS set that you will use for many things! I love love love Jami's talents! She is amazing! On a sidenote, for those of you who do SCS challenges or those who would like to start, Jami is the featured stamper for the Sunday challenge!! Woo Hoo, congrats Jami!!

Okay, go check out the sneak peeks and remember there will be new projects daily so check back often.

We also have added MANY new products to the 2RedBananas store. There is a new category called "What's New at 2RedBananas" so it's easier to find the new stuff :)

Enjoy blog hopping with us and we can't wait to see your creations!

And...check it out...we're using Mr Linky. So now it couldn't be easier for us to see your wonderful creations. Please leave us a direct link to the post with your project (not just to your blog in general). We'd love to get a comment from you too...but your challenge entry must use Mr Linky. Thanks.
