Hopping Along with SCACD and the new Elisabeth Bell Release!

Hi Friends!
I am so honored and thrilled to be part of the hop celebrating the release of the new ELISABETH BELL Sampler Edition #3 from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD)!!!!! These are brand new stamps, exclusive to SCACD! If you landed here from Jennifer's blog, you are right on track. To start at the beginning of the hop, please visit the fabulously talented Suzanne Dean. (And in case you get lost along the way, you can find the entire hop list HERE.)

I love birds and bird stamps, and was tickled to use this sweet and lovely stamp called "New Friends". I paired it with Basic Grey papers and brads for a fresh spring look. With some encouragement from my dear friend, Susan, I finally put my ScorPal to good use and created my first easel card, which I must admit was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Your next stop is fellow guest Alex Lundgren, and I know she has something wonderful for you to feast your eyes on. All of the new stamps will be available for purchase today after 9:00 a.m. EST, only at SCACD. Click HERE to see and order this amazing new collection for yourself. I'll be "in line" right behind ya! :D

Thanks for joining me on this very special day!

Heartfelt Hugs,
