Blog Hope for a Cure

Welcome to CSS's blog hop!!!

If this is your first stop on the Clear and Simple Stamps Blog Hop, please go to the CSS blog and start your hop from the beginning. You don't want to miss anything and you certainly will if you don't hop on over there. If you have hopped to my page from Sue's blog than you are in the right spot.

Clear and Simple Stamps created some fun limited edition sets for this cause and here are my projects using these great little sets.

Love this quote from Winston Churchill.

I made a set of pins with the 2x2 Awareness set.

This is an 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch layout. I thought if would be a nice simple layout great for adding photos from the next "Walk for the cure" event.

BLOG CANDY:

PRIZE PART 1

In order to win you will need to create an ATC, Tag or Card Candy project using our Crop for the Cure Digi Papers. Then leave me a link to your creation in the comment section of this post. You can use other stamp sets to go along with the papers, but the main focus should be on how creatively you can showcase the Digi Papers. The papers are 4x4 in size and include 4 different patterns.

Here's another link to the Crop for the Cure Digi Papers:

PRIZE PART 2

You can upload your creations to Splitcoast or Paper Craft Planet by 9PM Sunday, June 7th using tag: CSSFTC09. We will then select our favorite design to win the new Awareness Darling stamp set and a surprise pack of embellishments.

The difference between the two you might ask....the 2x2's are a limited edition and will only be available to those who participated in the Crop for the Cure. The Awareness Darling, however, will be available for purchase on the CSS website and is a prize valued at $15.00.

Now you need to hop on over to Nicole's wonderful blog to see some more CSS Eye Candy!! And don't forget to enter the Blog Candy!!

Blog Candy Anyone?

Edit: Entry for the blog candy drawing is now over. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, March 10th.

Today's card features the Glamour Darling set from Clear & Simple Stamps. I just love this sassy girl checking herself out in the mirror. I think the inside of this card should read, "40 and fabulous!" The base of this card is Kraft and the patterned papers are from the BasicGrey Stella Ruby line. The image was colored with Copics and her dress and belt were paper pieced.
