The Stamping Boutique Blog Hop Reveal

Did you get a chance to see the One-Stop Blog Hop at
The Stamping Boutique?


Did you vote for your favorite?


Our Team did not make it an easy choice, that's for sure!


Did you know which one was mine?


Well, here it is:




We were given a selection of Circus Images from The Stamping Boutique
and were told to make anything we wanted! It was tough to choose which image to use, they're all so happy and cheerful!


I decided to use "Circus AJ" and I'm happy with that choice! I LOVE him!
Don't you?


My project was actually inspired by an invitation made by Thienly for SVGCuts.com.  


The challenge this week at Papertake Weekly is "Lemon Zingy"... well I certainly think this card has LOTS of zing!
Craft Your Passion has TWO sponsors for their "Anything Goes" challenge this week!
Paper Playtime is changing up their challenge structure and it's "Anything Goes" this week!


And, Card Cupids is being sponsored by the one and only Stamping Boutique!


The challenge is "Anything Goes"!
So, head over to TSB, pick up one of the Circus Images and send a little love to Card Cupids!!
Don’t forget we are getting close to the deadline for our Absolutely Incredible Kids Day Drive (March 11) as well as our cards for Cuties (March 9). We would love your help in sending these special children smiles! Be sure to check out the Card Cupids Websitefor information on the children as well as requirements for cards and items.

Tutorial Challenge at the Latte Lounge! March 5th thru March 19th

Hello and happy weekend!
Hope everyone is getting a little time to P-L-A-Y!!


This week, I have chosen a Tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers called a "Wiper Card".

This is a fun and easy card to put together and only takes one piece of card stock and a few small scraps for decorating/embellishing!

When it's closed, it fits into a standard A2 size envelope!

Pull out the sides and the little tab pops up, like a windshield wiper, hence the name "Wiper Card"!

I think this is a fun and easy challenge and it would be great practice to do a card that's just a little bit different than a plain, ole' regular rectangle!

For my card, I chose to use the "Relax... Set" which is available at The Stamping Boutique! There are SIX separate digis in that set! I have used 5 for this project (the sentiment, the tub with Princess Jennifer Latte, the bar of soap, the towel bar and the lotion that pops up)!


This challenge is sponsored by The Stamping Boutique

and the winner will get to choose TWO images

It's a great time to shop TSB!
There's a 25% off sale running right now
and Tracey has released all KINDS of new and amazing images!


This challenge will run from Saturday, March 5th
through Saturday, March 19th!



While you've got The Stamping Boutique on your mind, take a look at the TSB Challenge Blog.
We're having a different kind of Blog Hop... you only have to hop to ONE place!
Our DT has created a variety of projects for your viewing pleasure.

If you choose to VOTE for your favorite, you'll be entered to win!!

You VOTE, YOU win!!

How much better does it get?
