Crafty Secrets, Arabelle & CONTEST


Lots of Crafty Secrets here, including Sweet Chips Chipboard, and a Birds & Botanicals Image. I pared the CS stuff with some old SU! designer paper. The mother of pearl buttons are vintage. I added touches of Aqua Stickles throughout. I get my Stickles at Creative Play Stamps. CPS is having an AMAZING CONTEST right now. In addition to gift certificates, you can win a bag of Primas the size of a CHILD'S PILLOW and weighs HALF A POUND!! I covet this bag of Primas so much, I have considered quitting the DT so I would be eligible for the contest! You must go see it in all its enormous glory, then get stamping!!!

Win a bag of Prima Flowers (and a CreativePlayStamps.com gift
certificate) in our April Showers Bring May Flowers contest!

Just go to our Contest Forum here:

My friend Pat designs for Shirley's 2 Girls. I love the work she does with S2G stamps, and was finally unable to resist any longer! I love my stamps, and the service was supersonic!!

top card? Give it to me at once, or I'll have to break your kneecaps or abscond with all your Stickles.

A bag of Prima flowers would last me for the remainder of my days; I use them so sparingly.

Bottom card? is that an afghan? ... what a fetching beastie, anyway!

The botanical themed 'stuff' is really neat and has a vintage vibe.

I don't know...this seems a little "busy" to me. I go for the plain look myself. I will admit that I think it could use a little more glitter! ;)

Heart U!
