2012 Artisan Finalist Blog Tour - Day 6

Hi stampers!  It's time for day 6 of the Artisan Finalist Blog hop.  You've probably just come from Tara's blog, wasn't her project so cute?

I've got another card to showcase today.  This one is kind of an accidental entry.  In the middle of working on my projects I needed a gradation card for my cousin.  Now, she's not overly girly so I came up with this card which had just the right amount of pink and I really liked it.   The longer I looked at it sitting out on my desk and waiting for the weekend the more I loved it!  I finally decided that I might as well just make another one and enter it, ha!  So, that's what I did and here it is.

I think all of the supplies I used for this one are still current!  I love the footsteps in the background and the brads as well as the multi-colored sentiment!  I also love how bright and vibrant it was.  As I was trying to enter a variety of styles and color schemes I think this is just what my entries needed!

And I totally can't find the picture of the inside of this one but it wasn't all that exciting, ha!  It was just white on the inside with one of the flourishes on the sentiment panel stamped in one of the lower corners.  Hope you can forgive me:-)

Now, if you haven't already made the loop you can head on over to Connie's blog and check out her ah-mazing project for today!  And here's the whole list if you want to jump around or got lost!

Hi stampers!  I'm running a bit late today but........happy new catalog day!!!  Yay!!!!  You can now get your hands on all the goodness of the new in colors and all the other new stuff!  There's always some fabulous new promos!  You can find them on my website HERE!  Make sure to scroll and see BOTH promos, ok?  And click HERE for the catalog!

I haven't submitted my order yet....I will...and it's a big one...eek!!!

So, I know you're probably tired of some of the pre-order sets so I have something old and something new for you today:-)  I used an older stamp set but some new colors and the new framelit!  Well, one new color....midnight muse...it's so pretty!  And very manly....so I went for a manly look with this one!  Excuse the crooked picture...not sure what happened!

It's a pretty simple card and I love the bold colors!  Don't look too hard because I think I didn't quite get my sentiment straight when I ran it through the big shot.  Lucky for me, the man in my life really isn't all the into the details;-)

Don't forget to go look at those promos and the new catalog!  Let me know if I can help in any way, ok???!!!
