Jillibean Soup & Hero Arts - {StopAndScrap}

Hey there! So sorry it has been so quiet here lately... I have been in a bit of a creative funk and have been feeling a little uninspired. But I am back!

Today I used the Coconut Lime line from Jillibean Soup, a sentiment from a We R Memory Keepers stamp set, and some great stamps by Hero Arts for BasicGrey. If you haven't aready noticed, there is a pre-order available for a huge assortment of Hero Arts stamps in the StopAndScrap store! You can find them here. With so many wonderful offerings, there is sure to be a little something for everyone!

Here is my card:



That's all for now! Visit the StopAndScrap blog again tomorrow for another post filled with inspiration! Have a great Monday! :)

Enjoy Summer with StopAndScrap

Hey there!! Here today with my first post on the StopAndScrap blog! I am so excited to share with you a little project that I made for my boys' teachers. The end of the year is fast approaching, and I want to let them know how much they are appreciated! I used papers from the new Fancy Pants summer line, Summer Soul. The papers are bright and beautiful and FUN! This little ensemble was a blast to create!



The little envelope will house a giftcard to the book store so these wonderful ladies can enjoy a new book while enjoying their summer vacation.



The Beach sign was made using a stamp from the Fancy Pants Summer Soul line. See those adorable flip-flops?! Those are a stamp from the We R Memory Keepers Down the Boardwalk line. That collection is available now at StopAndScrap, and a new summer collection from We R Memory Keepers, Red White & Blue, is now available for preorder! Be sure to check them out and get yours while you can!!

And finally, the matching card:



I used the same papers as mentioned above, and the sentiment is from the Paper Smooches Smarty Pants Stamp set.

That's it for me today! I hope you enjoyed my project and I hope it inspires you to create something wonderful! Have a great day!! :)
