It’s that time again! This month we have more than 50 ladies in the hop to show you some fabulous creations! Wild About Love is a set that includes 4 different foxes, 3 sentiments, 2 hearts, and an adorable tree stump! This is such a cute set, and so in with now! I know you will want to have it!

If you arrived here from Vicki’s blog, then you are on the right track! If you get lost along the way, you can always find your way over at Melinda’s blog, as she has the whole hop list posted with easy links!

This month, I had to be a bit creative with what I used for my card. I could have used just plain cardstock, and done some random stamping, but it just wasn’t what I wanted to do. My new papers are on the way, but they aren’t here yet. (soon!!) So, I did get creative! Leave a comment and let me know what you think I used {before scrolling to the bottom to find out} and everyone that guesses correctly will be put into a drawing to have this card sent to them! {blank, so that you can use it!}

Isn’t it cute!? For the red hearts, I put some rows of the red shimmer trim down onto some white cardstock. Then I stamped the back of the cardstock with the hearts that are in this set. Then all I had to do was to trim them out with our micro-tip scissors!

Just look at how glittery they are!! Then, I took a tip from Kristina Werner and Wendy Coffman, and used some fun sparkly nail polish on the bow of the girl fox, and to make some splatter dots under the larger heart. It’s great nail polish for that!!

Originally, I stamped the foxes on the kraft cardstock, but I didn’t think they stood out enough, so then I stamped them with chocolate ink on white cardstock and fussy cut them. I used our Bonding Memories glue to attach them . . . super simple! I decided that the guy needed some ‘bling’ too, but I tested the nail polish on him, and it was just a bit too close to his fur color, so instead, I went with the silver metallic marker that CTMH carries! Now they are silver and gold! (Just have to keep my GS history going!)

Have you guessed yet what I used for the background of this great card? If not, make sure you guess before you keep reading!!

This great stamp set is ONLY available through the end of February! So you will want to make sure to place an order to get it! You know you want it! (and, I promise, I won’t sing the fox song!!)

Ok, last warning! The list of what I used is below, everything except the nail polish was CTMH!

Base: White Daisy Cardstock
Paper & stickers: My Crush Besties Assortment
Ink: Chocolate
Embellishments: Red Shimmer Trim, Silver Metallic Marker, Gold Nail Polish

I’m so happy you stopped by! I hope to see you again really soon! Your next stop on the Blog Hop is Alyson, so make sure to hop on over to her blog!

I hope you have a super crafty day!

CHA is this weekend and that means the industry is putting out all kinds of fabulous new product. So what better time to kick off Practical Scrappers’ new monthly series of Scrapping our Stash! A special shout out to the sponsor of today’s hop: Kiwi Lane Designs!

For this hop, you should have come from Wendy’s blog (doesn’t she have the cutest stuff?). If you happen to get lost along the way, you can find the whole list over at Practical Scrappers blog. Make sure you get your entry in for the prize!

Like most any scrapper, whether they do cards or layouts, there are always some things left over, or some things that were purchased and have never been used. My ladies are using Laughing Lola papers this month in the workshops, and so, I had some leftovers. I decided to pair them with the hinged display tray from Close to my Heart, and I think it turned out Fabulously!

One of my daughters will be going to Europe this summer, and I thought that this would be PERFECT for her to put a few of her photos in and have it displayed in her room. So, please excuse me for not having any photos in there!

This was such a fun little project to put together!! I am sure that she will love it! Want to make one of your own? Well, for anyone that purchases the tray and the Laughing Lola Compliments, just email me, and I will send you the paper pieces that you will need, for FREE! Yup, absolutely free!

I hope you are enjoying your hop! Next, you should head on over to Lee-Ann’s blog. (WOWZERS! Isn’t her layout fabulous??)

Have a crafty day!!
