Happy Monday!!!!




And why am I so Happy You ask? Well because it's release week over at Hanna Stamps which means in just three days, we'll be having a party! I LOVE release party. The forum moves as fast as lightning, the challenges are great, there's free loot to be had AND you will see lots of scrumptious sneak peeks from our talented designers!!!!! Join us HERE on Thursday evening 9 p.m. est!

You may have already seen the card above in an ad in Cardmaker Magazine, so I thought I would post a second sample as well with my troop of G. I. Jon's...............






I am Extra excited about the release of this Riley. Jonathon was looking at some images of Riley and spotted the Military Moose. He really liked the image and was pretty excited about his release. A typical boy, he has always been interested in the military and has collected several books on world war 11. Actually his knowledge of this is quite impressive......ask Kristi, they had quite a discussion one afternoon while visiting in Detroit. That is, when we weren't busy colouring Riley's!!!! Kristi in all her sweetness recognized how much Jon liked the image and not only is it now being released, she named it for him and let me tell you, he was So excited about that as well!!!!




Kristi snapped this picture as he was colouring up some images for me to make into cards! He has the copics almost mastered!

While visiting with My Bff's Kristi and Jacqui in Woodstock last month, I happened across this awesome Camouflage themed paper from Kaiser Scrapbook in Australia. It works really well with Artichoke and Sahara Sand Paper. The first card is stamped and coloured on a base of Kraft. The little metal embellishments on the Camo card are Karen Foster Lace up Brads.

I am really excited to bring you lot's of delicious Sneak Peeks this week. Don't forget to Blog hop to the Hanna DT sites to see what else is in store for you this week!

Have a great day!

  10. These are both incredible!! You are a master with those copics! I could learn so much from you! The papers and embellishments on both really make the cards! How exciting for your son that Kristi named the stamps after him! That is wonderful! And I just love that he crafts with you!
