Hello to everyone out there visiting me today for our Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This hop we have a special guest, Shannon Lane! Thanks so much for joining us this month Shannon! You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Nicole Spicer - or may have come from the person previous to me. Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop. Here is the card I have made. I decided to use a layout to base my card on this time. I loved the vertical look. I'll admit, I don't make too many cards with the top fold, but I really love this one. I've stuck with my favourite colour to base my card today - Sweet Sugarplum. I've teamed this with Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride for my balloons. My bear is a triple stamped image in Sahara Sand, Soft Suede and Early Expresso. The stamp sets I have used in my card are Baby Bear, Bookshelf Builder for the sentiment and hearts and Gorgeous Grunge for the background splatters. I know Shannon has flicked her Stampin' Write Markers to create her splatter effect, but I'm afraid I'm not as clever as her (or just not as experienced!) and mine didn't work! My next best thing was my ever useful Gorgeous Grunge. Here is the card from Shannon that I have chosen to CASE. You can click on the image to go to her blog post featuring this card. Every month we have to chose a card to CASE and this month was no exception to the difficulty of choosing just one! Shannon's work is amazing! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today, and I hope you will continue on our blog hop to check out the amazing creations made by Shannon and our team of Crazy Crafters!
