Some cards & a giveaway update!

Hey!
Good morning!
I've got a couple more Bella Blvd cards to share today.
I made both of these for CHA and they have been up on the Bella Blvd blog recently.
I made this "save the date" card using the new "Engaged at Last" line.



And I made this friendly card using the fun new "Sand and Surf" line.
I do love hand-cutting flowers out of patterned paper!
:)



I am going to leave the giveaway (see post below) for another day since the Hampton Art blog was down yesterday.
So you still have time to comment and I will pick a winner tomorrow!
Have a great day!

Nightrider

Happy Monday!
I did a little scrapping over the weekend. 
I have been wanting to scrap this picture of my first night mountain bike ride for a while now.
So I pulled out some of the "Too Cute to Spook" line from Bella Blvd {mostly bc I thought this cloudy patterned paper would be perfect for this layout!} and some new stamps from My Favorite Things designed by the fabulous Laina Lamb.

And this is what I made...


Yes, I did a lot of handcutting!
I cut several clouds out of a separate sheet of the patterned paper and added them with foam adhesive to give the page lots of dimension.


And I stamped too!
Go me!
This is just one of the stamps I used (designed by Laina Lamb for My Favorite Things). 


And here is another one!


These stamps come from sets that are full of many other cool stamps.



How cool, right?!
