New flower challenge at Lia Stampz!

So... I'm a nitwit!!  I was all excited to update our new challenge post on Lia Stampz, but totally forgot to post it on my blog.  *FACEPALM* It's a good thing our challenges last a fortnight and not a week!

So, instead of last Wednesday, I'm posting it today.  LOL!  Join us this week for the newest challenge at Lia Stampz... ADD A FLOWER!

The digi is called Tea Love and is from Lia Stampz.  You can purchase it at Whimsy Stamps.  Or enter our challenge and win it yourself!  Inked her up with Copics.  Background paper, ribbon, and sentiment is Stampin Up.  Felt flowers is from a scrapbook kit that I disassembled.

Carri's Birthday Hop!

Hey guys!  Welcome to Carri's birthday blog hop!  Carri is an amazing, talented woman from Double Click Connections.   She is an inspiration to many of us in the hop and today we are hopping along to celebrate her birthday and what a wonderful woman she is!  You should have arrived here from Nitasha's page.  If you just stumbled upon this hop while visiting me (oh, you're so sweet!), be sure to check the line up at the bottom of this post and start at Georgiana's page.  Lot's of talented people on this hop!!!

Without much further ado, here's the card I sent Carri for her birthday!

The digi is called Natalie from Paper Makeup Stamps.  Inked her up with Copics and added some Dazzling Diamonds to her wings.  The paper is from The Paper Studio and the sentiment is an old Stampin Up hostess set that I can't get myself to get rid of!

How about some blog candy???? :D

Stampin Up's "Perfect Words" stamp set is perfect for this hop and telling your most special people what they mean to you!  (Each of these sentiments describe Carri to a T!)  To win, become a follower and leave a comment on this post with a way to contact you. :)  That's it!
