Good morning and HAPPY FRIDAY!!! It's been a crazy wonderful week and I just had to shout that! Each week our readers inspire us, amaze us and encourage us to keep doing what we're doing. This past week was no exception. Thank you, as alway, for being the most amazing readers. YOU are the best!
If you joined us for Card Cafe Thursday yesterday, we shared some incredible inspiration from the very talented Paper Smooches design team showcasing the brand new releases coming your way...
I don't know which one we loved more...lol! They were all exceptional. My personal favourite stamp from the new release is this one, Bosom Buddy...
Love all those cute sayings and the versatility of this set! Who wouldn't love a card that says "let's hang out?" To go with yesterday post and to share the new releases, we were delighted when Kim Hughes, owner of Paper Smooches, offered a fabulous prize for one lucky reader too! Wouldn't you love to spend this...
Yes, I heard your squeals over here! To be entered to win this $25 gift certificate from Paper Smooches, please leave a comment below telling us what your favourite set is from the Paper Smooches site! Easy! We can't wait to see what YOUR favourite is. Leave your comment below by Thursday, July 31st! Good luck.
We always love to thank our AMAZING partners as loudly as we can (without them SCT would not happen!) and hope that you can take a minute to visit Paper Smooches on their facebook page and give them a really big "SCT thank you" for today's giveaway and be sure to "LIKE" them while you're there. Amazing inspiration there every day!
Now to follow up from last week, here is the winner of the Doodlebug sequins...
My fave and the first to read is always the Easy Detailed Expert. So much to learn and as far as I know a very unique type of article that you cannot find anywhere else. They tend to be either too elaborate / technique driven or really simple, but your article walks us through the process of how to achieve a more cohesive / embellished / look and I love it. Oh, and I would certainly to give these sequin beauties a good home:-) Posted by: beatrice lawson | July 21, 2014 at 05:01 PM

I like the Halloween Icon dies. My grandchildren love dressing up for Halloween so I have scads of scrapbooking layouts to use them on, and cards of course.
