Exciting News and my first post!

A few weeks ago I was invited to be a guest designer of Sweet n Sassy Stamps for the month of August. I am so excited to be working alongside their talented design team creating with SNSS awesome selection of stamps. Thanks so much for this opportunity Korin and Sandy1

Today's post seems very appropriate for my first debut as GD. The featured stamper at Splitcoast Stampers today is Teresa Kline. Teresa is a senior dt member of Sweet and Sassy. She is very talented and has an awesome gallery. If you have not seen your creations, you should really swing over to her blog for some real eye candy.

For today's card, I chose this card of Teresa's to case. I kept her layout and the corduroy buttons but changed the image, sentiment, colors, and dp. I also added a few details.

Nature is full of so many miracles. The butterfly is just one of many.

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Sweet -n Sassy- In His Time
Paper: To the Nines, Bitter Chocoloate, Sage Shadow
Tools: EK Success Moroccan punch, sewing machine, Spellbinder Rectangles and Circles
Embellishments; SU Corduroy buttons. Chocolate Chip ribbon, Best Occasion Flourishes, Pearls

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a good end of the weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

blessings,
Chris
