Exciting News!!



I have some exciting news to share with you today. I've been accepted on the gel-a-tins design team! It's my first design team and I am so excited to be working with gel-a-tin stamps and to become a gel-a-tina!!


If you haven't heard of them, here's a little more about them. Gel-à-tins™ are clear stamps that are soft and sticky like a gelly candy and they come stored in a handy metal tin. You'll find a wide assortment of letter and image stamps as well as build-your-own layering stamps you can use to create your own unique designs. Totally Yummy!


Check out the gel-a-tins blog today to meet the other new members of their design team and go to their Web store at www.gelatinstamps.com to check out some of the totally cute gel-a-tin stamps. Also, be sure to like gel-a-tins on Facebook so you can keep up with the latest gel-a-tin news. Check back soon to see some of my first creations with gel-a-tin stamps!


Have a great day!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #129 - In The Garden

I made this card for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #129. I was definitely inspired by the pretty, soft colors. This stamp is called Tilda in the Garden. I like Tilda because she does so many things and they make stamps of her doing all of them - she's my kind of girl. Today she's taking a break and picking flowers in the garden. No doubt she'll be swimming or dancing tomorrow. Thanks for taking a look!


Here's my card.
