Blog Hoppin' with EAD & Go-To-Gal Kim Kesti...

Hey everyone!  Monday is here....already!  Can you believe it?
This weekend really FLEW...


{{{Please scroll down for my Mystery Monday post for Club Anya and to preview the ADORABLE new digis for Halloween from The Greeting Farm-thanks so much!}}}

So, not only am I still super excited about being asked to be the Sept. Guest for EAD Designs,  I happen to have the HUGE honor of blog-hopping with Papercrafts Magazine "Go-to-Gal" Kim Kesti!  


If you are just starting the hop, be sure to begin at the E.A.D. Design Blog :)

Today's blog hop, sponsored by EAD, has a theme-INSPIRATION!   To honor our SUPER talented guest, Kim, we have TWO INSPIRATION themes based on two of Kim's cards, and the DT gals have chosen one to use for today's post :)

Here are KIM's Cards:

Now, I know you're all SHOCKED when I tell you that I just had to use Kim's BUTTERFLY card as my inspiration :)   I used the "Caged Vinyl" rub ons for the sentiment and circle decal on the card and then just punched butterflies using my Nesties and a Martha Stewart punch.

I LOVE the cheery simplicity of this card-it's kind of out of the box for me and wow do I LOVE that it only took me minutes to create!

I have to tell you, too, that I have NEVER BEFORE seen such excellent quality in a rub-on and I am NOT kidding.  To be honest, I am terrified of rub-ons.  In fact, funny story-when Amy asked me to be the September Guest and we were going through stuff for the month, she noticed I hadn't chosen any rub-ons and I didn't have the heart to tell her that I have the WORST luck with them!  They always end up ripping, tearing, bubbling, etc.  Well, NOT the rub-ons from EAD!  I kid you not-they are a DREAM to work with and have changed my whole view on them!   SO easy to use and come out perfect every time!

Well, thanks SO much for stopping by today!  Your next stop on the hop is AMY C!

I'll be back shortly for my Club Anya & Friends post-thanks SO much for your constant support! xoxo
