Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop Begins NOW!

Hello there coffee loving crafters!  I'm so excited to begin the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers HOP today with everyone!  I've been gathering stamps and creating fun projects to share throughout the week and I can't wait to share them with everyone.  I can't wait to see what YOU have to share too!  

I want to say thank you to all 73 of our Super Sponsors joining in on the fun and want to say THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY and SUPPORT!  This "little" hop is always a RAY of Sunshine for many of us stampers and creators and this season, it brings some much needed LOVE and LIGHT to  us all!  Thank you to all the hoppers too!  Without YOU, we'd be just STUCK!

For my first project, I decided to work with Super Sponsor Graciellie Design's brand new COFFEE SET.  You can check it out HERE.  

I started out by creating a RAINBOW COLLECTION of ATC cards to add to some white cardfronts. I think they turned out so HAPPY and encouraging.  The whole collection of cards will make someone smile!  

 Look at that line-up!  There's just something so happy about a rainbow!  Take a closer peek and you'll notice I added some coordinating "flicks" to each ATC and each card base so that the ATC blends seamlessly....yet makes that ATC the STAR!  Don'tcha just love it!?

 YUM!...

 Rainbows of fun!

And here you have it all wrapped up in a rainbow of Hemptique twine.  WAHOO!

Thanks for hopping over and I'll see you along the hop!  :).

Springtime Medley...

Heartfelt Creations is introducing a new collection that I KNOW will be a real HIT!  This collection will bring a lot of sunshine to your stamping adventures because its all about the flowers!  It's called SPRINGTIME MEDLEY and it's a mix of new flower images, coordinating dies and additional stamps from their collection of stamps available as "choose your mount" stamps. 

I decided that this year I'm going to be working on creating an ATC book full of ATCs that I can keep, give away or put on cards.  I think I'm also going to make some MOOS to.  It'll be a great collection and I want to share the first two ATC's for this book...
