"Heartstrings Design Team BLOG HOP"

Hi all!  WE ARE BLOG HOPPING!  I am super excited.  If you just hopped here from Anne, then you are right where you are supposed to be and I will be the last blog you will visit from the hop before sending you back to the beginning.  If this is your first hop stop, you might want to start at the beginning by hopping back over to Shelley.


On that note, welcome to Stinkin' Sweet Scrappin'.  I am so glad that you stopped in.  For this blog hop, I am showcasing our sponsors stamps:  My Heart Stamps 4 You in this fabulous card.  I started off with Kraft paper as the base of my card and covered it in turquoise cardstock paper then overlaid it with vellum.  I used this stinkin' cute pattern paper that has various colored dots all over (this is where I pulled my color palette from).  I then used a scalloped edge punch on a piece of white cardstock paper.  I used the same turquoise cardstock and white cardstock to matte the MHS4Y stamp.  This stamp is called Jenny.  I added some cute buttons strung with ribbon and ribbon at the very bottom in pink and brown.  Finally, I finished the entire card with my famous one-corner punch at the top right.  Just for fun, I did a hidden message "a flower blooms once."  I hope you all love it...

...Along with the Heartstrings Design Team, I am doing a GIVEAWAY...yes, a GIVEAWAY.  I hope you are all excited.  I have been entering in on so many giveaways where the kits were created using things they already had.  So I started going through all my scrapbooking things and I decided to create my own little kit.  This is a mini album kit.  Included in this kit is a 30 page mini album, several different pattern papers from the DCWV "Premier Paper Stack: The Green Stack," a set of rub-on letters, and embellishments: buttons, brads, and flower brads.  I really wanted to gather things that screamed summer time and I think I got it.  So here it is...
