Gingersnaps and Some News!

First I have to share my news…
I was asked to be one of the two December Guest Artists for Sweet Pea Stamps! Very exciting for me to be asked, and their stamps are just fabulous! One of the lines they carry, that I fell in love with as soon as I saw them, is by Ching-Chou Kuik. They’re beautiful fantasy stamps. Another line that is simply adorable is their Gum Drop Gang, and they have several others that are a lovely mix. If you haven’t seen them you should really check them out. You can find their website: HERE and their blog: HERE

Now on to my card….

Card Bin

A few weeks ago I won a Card Bin in a There She Goes blog hop, and have finally put it together to hold my finished cards! You can find the Card Bins on their website: HERE

One of the great tips they gave was to cover the edges with masking tape and paint it white before adding anything else, and that really worked out great. The dp I’ve used are a front and back from the Seeds collection by Collage Press. I’ve used decoupage glue to adhere and seal the papers. I’ve also made dividers and stamped them with the Mega Messages set by Papertrey Ink.
