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,

November KitCats (just a wee bit late)

If you're doing the FRESH BREWED DESIGNS Blog Hop, scroll down to the next post!Thanks!!!! And if you aren't following the hop, why not??? The images are awesome, the possibilities are endless, the inspiration is divine! Go ahead, take a peek! :D

Hey friends! Normally we post on the first Sunday of the following month, but November was my turn to play hostess and I was a little distracted my a professional exam. My fellow Kittens were awesomely supportive & understanding, and didn't even blink when I asked if we could delay a few days. Love you girls!

So for the kit, I sent everyone this super adorable image from Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. If you haven't shopped with Susana before, you really need to put that on your list because she is super sweet, ships quick and always throws in a little something extra. Another fabulous thing is that she carries exclusive lines from Victoria Case, Elisabeth Bell and Anki Bärgman. This image is from Victoria's Winter Wonderland release, and she's called Cocoa Puff. I knew the girls would love coloring her and that she'd look totally cute with some papers from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kiss collection. I honestly forgot which ribbons & fibers I gave the rest of the KitCats, and just grabbed some sheer pink polka dot ribbon and white pearly dew drops. I used Stickles on the snow and Diamond Glaze on the poinsettias, to hopefully make them pop. I also used Stickles on her hat for a little added interest.


Please be sure to stop by and leave some love for the rest of the KitCats:
Kelly, Susan, Lorie, Michelle and Jeanette.

TFL & Hugs,
