Layers of Color-Nov. Guest Designer post1

Hello, friends:}

**NOTE:: My good friend, Rochelle, has renamed my post to LAYERS OF AWESOMENESS! So sweet of her:) And thanks for the support and love, Rochelle!! 

I'm back with another Layers of Color Guest Designer creation! This is my last post as a Guest Designer with LOC. This month has been filled with joy and blessings as I've created with LOC images and with the team! I cannot believe I was a part of this super talented team! 

For my last project, I wanted to make another teacup creation using  Melisa Waldorf's teacup template {free template HERE}. I was again inspired by my Mother-In-Law. She really REALLY blesses me!!! So I made her a Mother's day card....I'm thinking ahead:) I used my new images from Nina B. Designs' Sweet Silhouette {sentiment} and Fairy Wishes {butterfly} stamp sets. LOOOOOOOOVE how this turned out! I was inspired by a picture found on Inspire Lovely's blog. I knew instantly that I wanted to make stacked teacups and use those beautiful butterflies for my card. I also used some paper from October Afternoon {5 & Dime}. LOVE LOVE LOVE! This is probably my fav project for LOC!!!!!!

That's it for me today. Be sure to stop by the LOC blog and website! I know you will enjoy their creations as much as I do! And check Layers of Color out on FB! 

Finally, I would like to say THANK YOU--THANK YOU so much, Layers of Color, for this wonderful opportunity to share my creations using your images/stamps! I cannot wait to use more of your stamps and play along with you again in the future!!! THANK YOU!!! God bless!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}

ps...happy birthday to my sweet niece, Alli!!! Miss you! LOVE you! 

Layers of Color-Tea Party Blog Hop

Hello, friends:}

Welcome to the Layers of Color Tea Party Blog Hop!! This blog hop starts at the Layers of Color's blog. If you came from Nina's, you are in the right place. If not, please start at the beginning {HERE} to get the most out of this fun blog hop! 


The LOC DT is having this blog hop in celebration of the release of Spellbinders NEWEST die templates: Decorative Dress Forms {designed by Nina Brackett and Laura Campbell} and Nested Tea Cups {designed by Laura Campbell}!!! LOC will be offering both these new dies February 1, 2012--or you can purchase them NOW through Crafters Home participating stores. 


Come join us for a spot of tea and enjoy these tasty treats for the eyes!! 


For my creation, I used a template {availble for FREE below} by LOC's Melisa. I knew that I wanted to make a tea cup card for my MIL---so I made the tea cup a pocket to hold a tea bag that I created using coordinating patterned paper. Then I stamped a sentiment for the tea bag tag using LOC's Teacup Blessings {My MIL is the MOST amazing woman I know--she is giving, loving, kind, gentle, understanding, supportive, and so much more! So that is why I picked this sentiment--my cup runneth over because of her!}. LOVE!! Then I thought I should add a silhouette from Nina's new stamp set Sweet Silhouettes. PERFECT! I think my MIL will love it!
