STAMP SOMETHING CHALLENGE....AND SOME FABULOUS NEWS TO SHARE!

Happy, Happy Friday everyone!! I am 'feelin' grooooovy" - got that song stuck in your head now, lol?!!! So, today is another fabulous Stamp Something Challenge and we were lucky enough to have Lauren aka Groppi Girl host this week's challenge! If you have never seen Lauren's work, you are soooo missin' out so get over there and see what she has done (well, after you finish MY post, LOL!) So, Lauren wanted us to create something to do with candy and when I think of candy, I think of chocolate....anything chocolate! So, I decided to do a 6x6 recipe card featuring a Raspberry Chocolate Croissants - YUM!!! I used my new in-colors (Red Riding Hood, and Pink Pirouette), some Bravo Burgundy Ribbon, and of course my new scallop edge punch, love that thing! The stamp is from a REALLY REALLY old set called Recipe Fun that I bought on ebay before I was ever a demo - I mean, it is dated 1996! But, I will never part with it, it has great stamps that I still use a lot in my recipe books! But, I digress....the brads are pretty in pink and Rose Red. The circles are punched using my 1/2 inch Circle Punch. The squares are punched out using my small and large square punches. Pretty easy, but I love it and will be adding it to be recipe stash! Don't forget to head on over to the Stamp Something Challenge site to see what the other talented dt ladies did for this week - and make sure you upload your own project (please make it a current project, not something from your stash already made!) so we can see - there is a guest DT spot at stake here!

*****SO, ARE YOU READY FOR MY EXCITING NEWS?????!!!!!!*****

I was asked by Black Market Society (a new scrapbook paper manufacturer with fabulous product) to design projects using all five of their paper lines for CHA!!!! Whoohooo, ladies, let me tell you, this past week I have had my hair on fire pumping out 12 scrapbook layouts, an alerted frame, and altered mini book, and six cards - whew!! But, all my stuff is currently on display at CHA so if you are there and happen to be reading this, would you PLEASE PLEASE take pics for me of their booth??!! And, they have also asked me to design for their booth when they head to Anaheim, although many of the projects I already did will be fine there as well! So, what do you think, pretty fabulous, huh?!!!! I am pretty excited myself! And, it is all thanks to Jen over at Coconut Scrapshop for believing in her design team enough to make this happen - big smooches Jen!! Okay, so I am need of rest as I have been the mad scrapper for three days straight to ensure I got everything overnighted to Chicago! I am TIRED!! But, REALLY REALLY HAPPY!!!!! :-) So, I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!! Toodles!
