New Kit and National Scrapbook Day Fun!

Since it is the first of the month, a new kit went up at Scrapbook Bakery. It's called Happiness because the colors just make me so very happy.....and I was also SO happy that sweet Lisa Spangler agreed to be the guest kit designer. Ya'll know what a big fan I am of Hero Arts Stamps and Lisa, being a designer for them, has always caught my eye with her style. So talented. I am in awe of her creations she made with this kit. Here are a few:
Also since tomorrow is NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY, I want to do a give-away. Leave a comment on this post telling me your plans, if any, for NSD. I will pick a winner (or two!) on Sunday to receive some goodies including some of the "ingredients" from this kit! I am spending NSD creating with some friends at a crop. It is starting to become a tradition every year.

One more thing! For all my blog readers, use coupon code NSD09 to receive 20% off your ENTIRE purchase at Scrapbook Bakery...for tomorrow only (5/2/2009). Have a happy day. Enjoy!!

Kristina's 50th Color Inspiration!

Hi! Thought I would share what I made for Kristina's 50th Color Inspiration. Had to be a part of this celebration. Congrats Kristina! Thank you for always giving us a creative boost with each color challenge!

Here are the colors she gave us to use...

And my card....I decided to do a peek-a-boo card by using a Hero Arts background stamp and embossing it with white embossing powder on the brown and then punching a few circles. Then I repeated the embossing step with yellow, red, and blue and tucked it under the holes, glued it down where it matched, and then lifted the brown with pop-dots to give it a peek-a-boo effect. I also stamped with brown Staz-On for the message on white ribbon and instead of knotting the ribbon, I stapled it for a fun look.

Thanks for stopping by!
