Warm Winter Wishes...

Hi, everyone!

I'm back today with a fun card from another A-DORABLE stamp set from The Craft's Meow!  This one gives me the warm fuzzes and is perfect for this time of year although I have to say I was happy w/ my 60 degree day yesterday even though it rained ;)

Still, you can't go wrong with a cute pair of fuzzy mittens and a fun hat!  Here is my card for today's preview of Warm Winter Wishes:

I used Our Craft Lounge's "Sparkly Fluff" in Sugar with some Helmar Premium Craft glue to add some warm fuzzies to my card :)   I really love this set and can't wait to ink it up again!

Be sure to visit The Craft's Meow blog today to find out how you can WIN this set- and also stay tuned for the December Release BLOG HOP which is coming TOMORROW, December 7th!

Warm winter wishes, everyone!

xoxo,

OWL be using these stamps again VERY soon!...

Hello!

Welcome to another preview day for The Craft's Meow, a store owned by my sweet friend and former TGF alum, Lisa Hjulberg!

I am SO excited to preview today's sneak peeks!  The Craft's Meow store blog is FULL of amazing previews today!  I'm so excited to be bringing you previews from Jenny Suchin and Katelyn Ord.  Both sets are just darling and I'm so honored to be getting to play with them!

Here is "Happy Owlentine's Day":

...and "Love is All You Need":

I can't tell you how easily creating came w/ these sets.  I feel like I've been in a slump lately but after seeing this December release from The Craft's Meow I'm feeling renewed and excited!  SO happy to be asked to Guest Design this month- couldn't have come at a better time :)

Thanks again for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow with another Craft's Meow preview, and then on WEDNESDAY, December 7th with a RELEASE DAY blog hop you won't want to miss!  Find out how you can win some sets this week too by stopping over at the TCM Blog for more details!

December Previews begin for The Craft's Meow!...

Hey, everyone!

Happy Saturday!  I'm looking forward to the weekend- what a crazy busy week!

My daughter started dancing competitively this year and we were at the studio pretty much every day this week.   Karate, girl scouts, and other activities ran as scheduled for my other kids and then a VERY exciting first Basketball game of the season for Jack and Nick!  They WON their first game- ohhh my gosh was it exciting.  My boys made every basket but one in their 18-13 WIN against the reigning championship winners from the season prior.  I think my little guys are STILL on cloud 9 and so is this proud mama!  Can't wait to do it all over again today!

Last night, Madelynn attended her first "lock-in" at the dance studio with the entire competitive team.  They had pizzas, we all pitched in appetizers, snacks, and drinks and there were 30+ giddy girls and one very cute little guy ages 4-16 twirling about.  FUN times!

Enough about all that, though- that's maybe not why you're here!  Did you see this FUN ANNOUNCEMENT on The Craft's Meow store blog yesterday?  I am SO excited to be their December guest.  Lisa Hjulberg, the owner, and I met years ago in cyberspace here and finally got to meet in person at CHA in the winter of 2010.  She is just as sweet as can be and I cherish not only the face-to-face time we've had but all of the heartfelt emails.  Lisa also was on the Club Anya team as a Guest for TGF and is super talented!  I'm so excited to be joining a fabulous team of designers for the month of December!

Today we have TWO NEW SETS to preview, both by the super talented Nina Brackett!

I bring you:

Lovely Labels 18:

and Sent with Love:

Both of these GORGEOUS sets will be released on December 7th in the TCM store during a SUPER fun DT blog hop and I'm really looking forward to it!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I'll be back on Monday w/ More TCM previews!

Be sure to stop by the Craft's Meow blog now to check out MORE previews and fun info!
