World Showcase Blog Hop.  Glad you decided to join us.  There are twenty three stops for you to make along the way.  This is stop #11.  You'll have from Friday thru Sunday to hop, so there is plenty of time to see them all!  If you have been following the Blog Hop from the beginning, you have just been wowed by Tracey Old's box and card set.

After looking through my Stampin' Success, (which is a monthly magazine for demos)  I knew I just had to make some.

Here's the full set of four.  Now if you want to make them super simple just leave off the initial.  Items used to make the coasters:  Big Shot, Clear Circle Die, Alphabet Die, SU DSP Beyond the Garden, SU Cork Sheets, SU Permanent Adhesive Sheets, SU Medium Window Sheets.

Here's a view of the set of coasters in the gift box.  What a great gift for a friend or family member.

and one final shot of the box open so you can see how pretty the inside looks with the coasters in it.  Thanks you so very much for hopping along with us this week-end....and.....here is the GOOD PART!

Scrapbook Pages For Product Challenge At Stampin Addicts

When Holly Krautkrmer sent me a message a couple of months ago and ask me to be on the design team for the Scrapbook Challenges over at Stampin Addicts I was sooo excited! Today's post is what I came up with for the product challenge for May. I was to pick a product from a list she gave me and use it on my pages. I chose to use the gel pen. I got my smooth lines by putting a piece of thread down and looping it around like I wanted as my design, then followed along beside it with the White Gel Pen. Worked great! If you'd like to join in on some challenges or visit the gallery over at Stampin' Addicts here is the link: http://www.stampinaddicts.com/index.php You don't have to be a demo to join.
