12 Days of the Apocalypse

Everyone who knows me, knows I love a good laugh, a great story and a real connection. So, if you're here today, it's because you survived the apocalypse and the last day on earth as predicted by the Mayan's. Or, more likely, you're here because the sun is making it's appointed rounds. Either way, I'm glad you are here!

Free For All Friday

Hi everyone! This week, I'm hosting the Free For All Friday over at Stamp TV. My challenge centers around all the cleaning and preparation we do for the holidays. You know you've gotta do a lot of laundry, so my challenge is to use a dryer sheet, or similar item, in making your card. Here's mine:

I used the tutorial by Emily Keaton, called Dryer Sheet Flower. Hop on over to Stamp TV and share what you create with us!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hopping with Sean and Regina!

Hi everyone! Thanks for playing along in our November blog hop! The Blog Hop with Sean & Regina will now be featuring Gina K. Designs stamps only for our monthly blog hops starting this month! A lot of us have started to create our holiday cards. There are some amazing new stamp sets by Gina K. Designs that were released in October and we are sure to be inspired in the upcoming November release as well!

You should be coming to this blog from the beautiful blog of Lori McAree. If you've just stumbled across my blog, feel free to go to the beginning of the hop at Sean Fetterman's blog, Card Crafty Club.

This month, we are honored to be joined by Rebecca Oehlers, a Gina K. Designs Illustrator who has created some beautiful stamp sets for Gina K. Designs available in the Stamp TV Store!

The blog hop designers have been busy creating a card or cards that we hope will inspire you to create some beautiful Christmas and winter themed cards for your family and friends. Enjoy yourself as you hop along for the holidays!

OUR BLOG HOP SPONSOR!

Becky Oehlers is a member of the Gina K. Designs Illustrator Team! Becky’s style is really fun, crisp and clean. They are used to make wonderful cards with just the right message or can be used to add some fun to your scrapbooking pages. In addition, Becky is one of the best card designers and artists in the craft world.

Go to Becky’s blog to look at the great things she has been up to AND view the card samples she has created with her newest stamp set “Mistletoe Memories” that was released yesterday during the Stamp TV October Release Party. Becky’s blog address is: http://hemidemisemiquaverdesignblog.com/.

I am using the wonderful new Stamp TV kits for my cards today. These cards feature stamps from the Merry Little Christmas set in that kit, along with the wonderful papers!

I adore this house! It works great if you love to color, but it's also wonderful done like this - a little rustic Merry Home for the Holidays! The printed papers are in that same kit. Do you know what a STEAL this kit is? Lemme tell you! Two full stamp sets, a 6x6 patterned paper pack, ribbon, brads and solid cardstock for $49.95. SQUEEE!

Just had to do this same layout in a different color combo. I love that paper. Love it! Ok, there's a lot more inspiration for you, so leave me a note, follow my blog and hop on over to the lovely and talented Kay Simmons!

The rules are simple:
1. Visit each participating blog on the list below.
2. Leave a comment for the blog host designer.
3. Become a follower of each participating blog.

If you follow rules 1 – 3, you will be eligible to win the grand prize of a Becky Oehlers stamp set for Gina K. Designs.

At the end of the hop, a random winner will be chosen for the Blog Hop Grand Prize using comments and followers from each blog. We have decided to keep the hop open from Friday – Monday. We do this because some people that want to participate need more time to get through the entire hop.
The deadline for leaving comments is Monday, November 19 at 8pm CST. The winner will be chosen and announced on Tuesday, November 20, 2012.
