June SOTM Blog Hop....Wonderful Friend

****Click here if you're looking for the H2H Challenge Post***

----------------------------

Another month gone and another Blog Hop is here!!!

This month, we're celebrating the men in our lives by thanking them for being wonderful DADS!!!  There are over 65 Consultants participating this month so that means you'll have a LOT of wonderful artwork to pour over and get ideas from.

If you've come from Dawn's Blog, you're on the right track.  If you get lost along the way, you can always go back to Kathleen's Blog for a complete list of hoppers this month.

I fell in LOVE with this stamp set and I think it was all because of the argyle print...it's so "IN" right now and I couldn't wait to try it out.  I've also been playing around with some color combos and decided that this one would be perfect for the occasion since today is Memorial Day (THANK YOU to all the men and women serving and protecting our freedoms....what you all do truely brings tears to my eyes!!!)

Here's my card (5x7)...

----------------------

Using Desert Sand and Bamboo Cardstock, You Rock Paper Packet (the Outdoor Denim B&T), Cranberry Grosgrain Ribbon, some retired Cranberry Sparkles and Desert Sand Ink...

Heart 2 Heart Challenge #2

1st of all...thanks to all who played along last week...wasn't that FUN!!!  I had the pleasure of viewing each and everyone's artwork and I was amazed at how different they all were being that everyone had the same challenge!!!

---------------------------------------------------

This week's Challenge is to use:

• 
  
  1 stamped image (ok...I fudged a little and used one stamp "set")
• 
  
  2 different B&T papers
• 
  
  3 embellishments (can be all the same or 3 different)

Here's what I came up with...

------------------------------

For the stamp, I chose to use Star Power (LOVE those guitars!!!)...for my 2 different B&T papers, I chose to use 2 from different paper packets...the 1st and more prominent B&T (Indian Corn Blue and Outdoor Denim Polka Dot) comes from the You Rock Paper Packet and the 2nd one comes from Emporium (what my stars are stamped on)...and finally, for my 3 embelishments: White Hemp (behind the focal piece as well as the strings of the middle guitar), Bitty Sparkles (on the flourishes of the middle guitar) and Prisma Glitter (on all the stars). 

------------------------------------------

Thanks for stopping by and don't foget to visit the other Design Team Members' Blogs and see what wonderful stamps, B&T and embellishments they used!!!
