Oh happy day!

Hi all!  I've got a sweet CAS card today using the newest EXCLUSIVE stamp from the May Market Fresh Kit......this awesome butterfly!  I have had some things going on lately and well, just not enough time to get it all done.  Pair that with our 21 yr old niece moving in with us this weekend!  Yikes......her room is NO way near clean!!

Is this not the most beautiful color palette here with this new kit?  {swoon}

I decided to use the butterfly and do a simple stamp and mask technique to the edge of some white cardstock.  I wish I'd had more time to re-do this card as that Pure Poppy ink I used just does NOT match the cardstock as seen here.  (it's the new shaped ink pad)

Have you checked out the latest MSS Paint the Town challenge?  If not, you most certainly need to!  You have the chance at winning a stamp set of choice ($15 value)!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Market Street Stamps Block Party!

Here's my card for the monthly Block Party over at Market Street Stamps.  If you have any MSS, you must ink them up for a chance at some goodies or a Guest Design Team spot!  Here is what is up for grabs:

•One randomly selected participant will win an awesome prize package full of yummy stamps & accessories!
•ONE show stoppin' paper crafter will be asked to join us for a Guest Design spot for the following month! (This months winner will be a Guest Designer for the month of May!)

I love this stamp from the March Market Fresh Kit from Market Street Stamps.  Guess what?  You can still get your hands on this kit and this EXCLUSIVE stamp found in it........Find it HERE.  As soon as I got this stamp in the mail, I wanted to try this out.  Check it.......I stamped my lightbulb image on the wrong side!  After stamping the outline, I turned over the stamp and stamped the actual lightbulb image inside the outline!  LOVE out it turned out!  Such a great CAS card!!!

Now let's see your Market Street Stamps in action this month for the Block Party!  Yes you can win because my dear friend, Renee, was chosen last month as a Guest Designer and she's been getting ready for her time on the MSS blog!  Let's see what you can do!
