Congratulations on your one year anniversary!I love the sticky letters and shapes and of course the glitter to go on them!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... to everyone who stopped by! I talked a little bit about inspiration this weekend, and I must say, one of my BIGGEST inspirations is you ~ my fellow stampers! Your galleries, blogs & encouraging comments inspire me everyday = ) !!! It was REALLY fun celebrating with all of you!! I read every single comment and loved hearing about all your favorite SU products...you seriously made me want one of everything! I think we agree that the Scallop Circle Punch rocks and the new Occasions Mini catalog is loaded with great stuff and that most of us would love to HAVE IT ALL ! Congratulations Suzanne...just email me (youcanstamp@hotmail.com) your snail mail address so I can mail those goodies off to you! I share your love of glitter and I hope you enjoy the Dazzling Diamonds that you'll be receiving in the Blog Candy Package! It will add the most wonderful shimmer to your projects...I promise, you're gonna love it!!!

Today's cards are very similar, slightly different layout and accessories...both are made with the Enjoy Every Moment stamp set & Afternoon Tea DP (from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog). They're for today's Technique Lovers Challenge over at SCS (TLC157)! The challenge is to use one or more DPs in mixed patterns. How fun is that? I absolutely love the example that Linda, the guest host made for us. You've got to see it...HERE...Isn't that an amazing card? Thanks Linda for inspiring us with your wonderful card and for guest hosting the Try A New Technique Challenge...much appreciated!!

Here's a close-up of the button I used on the second card. I used on of the SAB Love & Happiness Rub-on flowers on this Clear Button! I really like how you can see through to the design behind the button, get a little 3-D effect with the button itself, and enjoy the flower design...all at the same time. Yet another fun way to use those Rub-ons!! I also used the SAB Rub-ons on the first card...also in the center of the "0".The tool that enabled me to make today's cards was the Stamp-a-ma-jig! It's one of the best tools I own. If you've never used one, it's so easy, you won't believe it. But it will help you put your images precisely where you want them. I can't say enough about how useful the SAMJ is to me. There is no way I could have made this card without it. It's only $11.95 and worth every single penny and more!!
