Love To Stamp Blog Hop

Today is finally the day of the Love To Stamp blog hop.  I hope you've enjoyed the sneak peeks that the DT has shown you so far.  The store is now officially open so I hope you will stop by and check out all the fun products. 


There is blog candy being offered if you follow and comment along the hop. Also there is a Contest that will run till June 8.  Lots of exciting happenings going on at Love To Stamp!  Don't miss out!! The hop starts at the Little Darlings challenge blog. If you've come to me via Ruby's blog, then you're in the right place.

Here is the card I prepared for today:


I made this card to go along with a planter my girls and I made.  I used Love To Stamp's "So Big" image. Isn't he a cutie? I combined him with Alotta Rubberstamps Potting Shed and Magnolia's Sun and Little Birds - all these images can be found at Magnolia-licious.

I love these bright and sunny papers that I used on my card today.  They are the Dutch Mustard Soup mini paper pad from Jillibean Soup and can be found at Love To Stamp. I have to get more of this pack for sure!

Here is a close up of "So Big" image:


For this past Mother's Day, my girls and I made this for Nonni.  I had this unfinished wooden planter that the girls and I drilled holes in the bottom for drainage and stained, then planted some Gerber daisies inside. I know some of the flowers don't look so good, but the buds have bloomed and it looks really nice now on my Mom's windowsill.  That fun floral ribbon called Bloomers is from Webster's Pages and can be found at Love To Stamp.


Last week while Blogger was down for a couple days, I had time to create one more cute little project using this So Big image. I made a little paper watering can using a pattern that I found at Splitcoast Stampers.



These pretty papers are from DCWV Watercolor Bouquet paper pack. Pearls, buttons, butterfly, and ribbon are all from my stash.


Well, thanks for visiting today! Your next stop on the hop is Guest Designer Suzanne Dean. I can't wait to see what she has to show us. Take care and have a great day!

Hi Angela!
You have made some amazing creations.
I love this 'So Big' stamp combined with the garden shed and the cute little birds. It is so beautifully colored too.
the planter box looks gorgeous. I bet your Mother loved it.
The watering can is gorgeous. I love the big butterfly on the handle.

You are so easy to follow Angie, the watering can is my favorite but not because I don't think that the card isn't wonderful. You have an uncanny ability to mix images beautifully.
Hope your daughter is still creating!
