I am thrilled today to be part of the Kiwi Lane Designs May Blog Hop. You should have arrived from Connie Wallenbrock's blog. If not, you might want to start at the beginning of the hop HERE.
I was recently sent the Tiny Bracket accessory set and it was soooo much fun to work with. I just traced and cut out my brackets but you can just cut around the brackets with craft scissors or a craft knife....easy peasy! There are so many other templates available I can see myself getting all of these!
Well on to my project. I created this card using all the brackets in the set:
I used my Lawn Fawn Year Four Birthday set of stamps and coordinating dies for the images and sentiment. Just for fun, I used all patterned papers from Lawn Fawn also. I think the real stars of my card however are the brackets which frame the card and lead your eyes right to the those cute critters and sentiment. These brackets are so versatile I can see using them not only in my cardmaking but also in my pocket page scrapping.
Now about the blog hop.....wait until you see all the talented ladies and their lovely creations! Don't forget to hop along to all the blogs....there are prizes along the way including the grand prize of a $25 gift certificate to the Kiwi Lane Shop. The winner will be announced on Thurday May 8th. The blog hop runs through midnight on Sunday evening.
I will also be sending out some awesome blog candy to one lucky commenter on my blog so make sure to leave me a comment. I will be posting a winner early next week so be sure to check back to see if you have won.
Here is the blog hop order....have fun!
