~ Clear and Simple Stamps ~ Mushy for You group project

Hello!! I am here with the so exciting news...

Clear and Simple Stamps has so graciously invited me to join their design team, and I can assure you that I've been one smiling-person. of course, I spoiled things right in the beginning by posting my part of the blog-hop over-late. but PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

Our team-hop is all about Valentine's day, with this set in mind:


Their all-new, very cute Fun Fungi stamps. I was honestly, stumped by the fuzzy lil mushroom images and cute-corny sentiments. In the end, it was a blast creating with the set!


and here's one of the trinket pins that you can find in the store.
Aren't those little mushies the fun-est things in the world?


For this second card, I stamped the mushrooms (I'm guessing they're my favorite: button shrooms) :) ... onto the tag, with the adorable mushroom-text background, and colored in the mushrooms using ink-pads and cotton-buds.


CSS has the cutest range of buttons, ink, and cardstock possible. Here I used notions from their Dare to be like a Diva Red range ... perfect for Valentines! I had a hard time working the color combo in my head, but on paper, and with the hand-work, it came swift and strong.


Two heartsy cards, with glassine baggies for love-gifts. I love the finished product; and what about ya? Thank you to the ladies at CSS for the wonderful opportunity to serve on a real DT... I've promised myself, and them, that wherever my little crafting-craze brings me, I will do whatever good I can for those around me. Here's my chance with the team at Clear and Simple Stamps.

Have a fun little hop around to the other DT's blogs, starting first at CSS if you haven't...

and, have I mentioned that the etsy store's been keeping me so very busy? I'm almost finished with the fun little orders coming in, and (if it doesn't carry on busy-wild) I hope to keep the blog buzzing with more posts in the coming days, and yes, my resolution is stronger than ever to have better photos to share with you.

until then, hugs!
