Bad news first - the Seasonal Expressions ONE book is retiring on March 31st! Many items will still be available to order, but anything with a little clock picture next to it means it will no longer be available after next Tuesday. But, the good news - Seasonal Expressions TWO goes live on April 1st!!! It is full of amazing new papers, stamps and embellishments!!!!
The item I will miss the most is the Hopscotch line. The color combination is so bright and cheerful, and the designs are just plain FUN! At last Friday's evening crop, several attendees created a card using Hopscotch paper. The original design was a Birthday card featuring Hopscotch B & T Paper, Flaxen Twine, Smoothie Washi Tape and the Birthday stamp from the "You Mean the World to Me" stamp set.
I always encourage crafters to use my card as a guide, but to make their project fit their style. I love seeing all the different versions that are created! My example is the bottom right card. Whether they changed the layout, the sentiment, the paper, or even the orientation - they all turned out fantastic!
While showing the card, I was joking that I created a landscape card because my 8 year old
daughter always gave me a hard time for creating portrait cards. Can you guess which card she created? The portrait layout version!!!! She certainly likes being different - and I LOVE it!
The "You Mean the World to Me" stamp set is one of my favorites! It's right on point with the arrows, and includes such versatile sentiments!!!! Check out the options you have with this set:
