Preview 2 - Party Animals 2

Welcome to day two of our August release!  Did you enjoy taking a look at our first set in action?  The girls did an amazing job with their creations don't you think?
Our second set is another fun Party Animals set created by Jasmine, and these guys are still having fun!
As I've mentioned the hop is a little shorter this month with Michelle taking some time out while she gets herself settled.  Jerusha has scheduled her posts but blogger has been playing up for her, so if you arrive at her blog and there is no post don't worry you'll still be included in the draw :)  
To win this fun set simply hop to each of the Design Teams blogs below and leave a comment on each of the posts related to this new set, then back here to let me know you're done :) The post will be up for two days with the next set due for preview on the 19th, so you have until then to comment.  Once the new preview goes up the chance to win this set will finish and you'll get a chance to win the next set by doing the same thing...
So start hopping, I know I can't wait to see what the girls have created!!
Andrea, Kylie, Teresa, Sue, Ida, Rene', Tiffany and Jerusha
Happy hopping everyone!

Andrea

Preview 1 - Thoughtful Stems

Our first preview this month starts with the set 'Thoughtful Stems'.  Created by Jasmine the flowers are soft and elegant with the smaller ones fitting nicely inside the frame.
The blog hop is a little shorter this month with Michelle taking some time out while she gets herself settled.  Jerusha has scheduled her posts but blogger has been playing up for her, so if you arrive at her blog and there is no post don't worry you'll still be included in the draw :)  
To win this beautiful set simply hop to each of the Design Teams blogs below and leave a comment on each of the posts related to this new set, then back here to let me know you're done :) The post will be up for two days with the next set due for preview on the 17th, so you have until then to comment.  Once the new preview goes up the chance to win this set will finish and you'll get a chance to win the next set by doing the same thing...I think that makes sense lol!
So start hopping, I know I can't wait to see what the girls have created!!

Say It In...

..Cream!  I remember when we had the "Say It In..White" challenge that a lot of people were unsure about how they would go about it until they started, and I think it's the same with cream.  You can have different textures of cream cardstock, embossing and ribbon, and before you know it you have a beautiful cream card!  When you see my card though you'll wonder where the cream is, but I started with one thought and then had to go with it!

Todays card is from Ida, and she's used some beautiful cream elements on hers. Check her blog out for full details :)
You also still have time to join in with our sketch challenge.  All our sketch challenges have a prize, so if your new to our blog be sure to check the current one out HERE!  I did have an email asking for clarification on the stamps that can be used, and to clear that up they can be from any other company as long as you use a stamp and add the all important bling! 
Have a wonderfully creative week and I'll catch up with you when you post your projects :)
Happy stamping everyone...hugs,
Andrea
