NUTCRAFTER'S BLOG HOP!!

Happy Sunday Everyone!!

Welcome to the Nutcrafter's very first Blog Hop!! We are celebrating the release of the new line of CutiePie stamps! They are so adorable. We've been doing sneak peeks all week and the DT and I have some wonderful things to show you today. Each stamp comes with an accessory stamp, the image and a sentiment. The sets will be available for sale in the Nutcrafter's store on Monday, Feb. 22 (tomorrow).

We have lots of prizes up for grabs during the hop. A winner from each DT member's blog will be chosen at random to win the stamp shown, and one winner WILL WIN THE ENTIRE COLLECTION!! This winner will be chosen from the Nutcrafter's blog but to qualify, you must leave a comment at each stop on the hop. So you better get hoppin'!! We will also be revealing 2 other stamps that haven't been seen yet!! How exciting!!

I am the first stop on the hop and I have used Shopping Rae for my project. Isn't she the cutest!!



I colored by image with my copics. I used K & Co. paper and a Cuttlebug embossing folder for my paisleys. The pink paper is by the Paper Company and feels like a purse! Very cool! I used ink to bring out my embossing and around the edge of my sentiment. I used the Friday Sketcher's Week 90 sketch to create my card.

This is the lineup for the hop and the links:

Nutty Nutshells Challenge!!

Happy Friday,

I hope you had a great week!! I have funky sinuses again. UGHHH!! I have been miserable for the last few days and extremely busy so if I haven't made it to your blog this week, I will be trying to catch up over the weekend. We are currently having our second Nutty Nutshell's Challenge!! We are so thrilled with the response that we had to our first challenge!! Thank you for visiting us and playing along. We love to see your wonderful creations.

For this week's challenge, you should go out and find yourself a sketch challenge that is currently running (Mojo Monday, etc) and make a card using that sketch and ANY line of stamps that we sell in our Nutcrafter's store!!! That makes it nice and easy for everyone to participate!! If you have never visited the Nutcrafter's store, you really should. Go on over to Nutcrafter's and see our selection of stamps from lots of different companies such as The Greeting Farm, Stampavie, Magnolia, Ladybug & Friends, High Hopes, Buddy Bear and Sarah Kay. You can also get out Nutshells, Harriet Hurst and our Digi Image Pink Frosting - our Breast Cancer Awareness set. Which is too cute! I'm sure that you have something in your stash that you can use and you can order something new for next time!! We also sell lots of supplies as well and Katie and Colette are the best!!

I used Mojo Monday #109 for my card.

Finally, I'm entering this card into the following challenges: Creative Card Crew challenge 32 - scallops, One Stop Craft Challenge 51 - 'Halloween', Pile it On Challenge 19 - 'Ready for Halloween' and Stamptacular Sunday Challenge! Halloween .
