GIVEAWAY!

Hey there!

It sure has been awhile. Things have been crazy here as we have been packing up to move across the country - so I've been doing lots of packing and very little crafting.

But, while we are road trippin' I thought it would be fun to host a little giveaway.
How about a little sampler of The Twinery's twines and a cute stamp set from Market Street Stamps?

Grow {Market Street Stamps}

{As seen today on the Market Street Stamps blog}

For this card I wanted to use the image from the Market Street Stamps Grow set to look like doodles on a piece of binder paper. I stamped the Vintage Notepad background stamp with blue ink on white cardstock to create the "binder paper". 

Once I had the background and "doodles" stamped I had so much fun coloring it in. I just love the way Kim added all those extra details that make coloring fun. 

For this one I kept it sentiment-free...I think that the colored image is the star of the show and can be used for many different occasions.

You Simply Sparkle {Market Street Stamps}

{As seen today on the Market Street Stamps blog}

I just love the way a simple sentiment can inspire a whole card.
I am not really a "sparkle" kind of girl, but this sentiment from the Simple Salutations set is just so fun!

Even though I used pearls and mist instead of something more "blingy" (like rhinestones) I love the "sparkle" effect on this card.

Life Is Beautiful {Market Street Stamps}

{As seen today on the Market Street Stamps blog}

This sentiment from the Life Is Beautiful set is so fun all on it's own...so I wanted to make it take center stage.

I did a little bit of coloring with my Copics and placed it on a die cut panel that would really draw your eye right in.
There are a lot more great sentiments in the Persimmons Studio line from Market Street Stamps - be sure to check them out!
