SUStars Ebony & Ivory Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the SUStars Ebony & Ivory Blog Hop.  Glad you could join us!  If you have been hopping along, you probably reached my blog from Jayne Stamps.  If you get lost along the way, a complete list of blog stops can be found here.

My craft room has been pretty cold lately, so I decided to make my projects in My Digital Studio.  As often happens, my pages today contain photos of my three cats.  They are my babies and I love them all dearly.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  The next stop is Shari's Stamp Pad.  Enjoy the rest of your tour!

Honorable Mention

I found a nice surprise today!  My card was chosen for Honorable Mention for Scrapbook Essentials Challenge #4.  I just found this challenge site this week and loved the simple sketch for this week's challenge.  Thanks, ladies, for this honor!


This week's honorable mention goes to:

Carol of CJ Stamps

Carol created two lovely cards just perfect for Valentine's Day! Thank you Carol for joining us!!!

Mixed Bunch

Love this stamp set, Mixed Bunch, and the punch that goes with it.  Makes it so easy to create a beautiful card.  Takes a lot less time to punch out a flower rather than cutting it out. LOL!  I used the Everyday Enchantment dsp that is available in the SAB catalog on Jan. 24.  The bright colors and lovely patterns in this dsp can really perk you up on these dreary winter days.  I created two cards each showing one side of the same piece of dsp.  My stampers will get to choose which side of the paper they want to use.  I can't decide which one I like better.  Guess I don't have to choose, do I?

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrapbook Essentials Challenge 4

Barely getting this in under the wire for the Scrapbook Essentials challenge.  Used P.S. I Love You from the Occasions mini to create this card.

Thanks for looking!

Take It To Heart!

This card is packed full of new items from the Occasions mini.  The only things that are not new are cardstock and the swiss dots embossing folder.  There are so many beautiful products in the Occasions mini.  Hopefully I can find time to play with a lot more of them.

I rather like the way this card turned out and hope you will like it too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Just a little sneak peek at some of the new things to be found in the Occasions catalog.  You can begin ordering from this catalog on January 4.  So many beautiful new products!

Thanks for looking!

The Sounding Joy Times Two

This is my first card using The Sounding Joy.  I think it is pretty, but, even though the colors look good together, I really think I prefer more traditional colors for my Christmas cards.

So, I made another card using the same stamp set.  The dsp is retired.  I think this one is a lot more traditional and elegant.  That pewter embossing powder has already become my favorite one.  And the rhinestones add a lot to this card.  My stampers made this card this month and most of them seemed to like it a lot.

Thanks for looking!
