SPCC #131 - Wisteria Wonder, Very Vanilla, Real Red

Hello! Monday is upon us and I’m ready for the LAST Color Combo Challenge FOREVER over at Scrapmaster’s Paradise! But, not to worry because 2012 is bringing some exciting changes to SP & Company. You won’t want to miss it!

Without further ado, the challenge:

#131

Here is my inspiration, which you are going to think is SO cool (when I tell you what SP&Co. stamp set I used)!

Inspiration granted:

#131-SpecialDay

I used the Hug a Bug stamp set to make my flower! It is designed in lots of little parts that can be used to make a bunch of bugs…BUT if you take some of the “prettiest” parts and stamp them over and over and fussy cut them you can make LOTS of very beautiful flowers!

An Announcement!

I am making a short post to let you all know some exciting news!  I will be continuing on with Sami at SP & Company in 2012 as a member of her new Challenge Blog Design Team.  She is retiring the Color Combos (a little sad) but this new lineup of challenges is going to be AWESOME!

I will also be part of releases every month and I will be showing you projects made with some of the SWEET stuff that Sami (The Scrapmaster) offers through SP & Company.  (Exciting stuff like SVGs and designer scrapbooking paper!)

I’m so happy that I can share my relatively new-found love for SP & Company clear stamps (they are TOP quality – really).  And Sami is a sweetheart who runs SP & Company so generously and well. : )

Please go visit my new fellow DT members: Here

And THEN head over to SP & Company to get your own SP&Co stamp set so you’re ready to play along with us in the new year!

SP & Company

Thanks for stopping by today!

And remember, it’s GOOD to be queen!
