Winner Announcements, VOTING OPEN, and Challenge #27

Good Morning Everyone,

Happy July 6th! {lol}  Are you still hearing fire crackers in your head.  I sure am!

We chose to NOT light any fireworks this year, instead we took Pumpkin to see Disposable Me 2, very funny!  Then we sat and watched all the beautiful colors out our windows, it was fabulous.  Hubby and I tried to snap some pictures... but it just wouldn't work for us.

It was so nice and relaxing.  We live right in between 2 areas that have AMAZING displays every year.. so we enjoyed without the traffic, parking, and hassle.  It was great.

Ok, so I have so many winners to announce... and of course our MONTHLY BLOG HOP!!

Start here to be inspired by the very talented Saundra

Today's Daily Inspiration from Missy ~ Treats!!

Good morning everyone!

Happy Fourth of July!!!  Today I have some fun treats I made for the kiddos at a holiday picnic my family is attending.  These were so easy to put together and they turned out really cute!


I made some chocolate covered marshmallows, topped with patriotic sprinkles!!  Once they cooled, I packaged them up using some cello bags.  I tied them shut using a variety of bakers twine.  Then I made some little tags using my Silhouette.  Here's a close up of the tags.


I used sentiments from the My Pink Stamper sets Yankee Doodles as well as Freedom Rocks.  I also used My Pink Stamper's Serendipity Skies in pad.  Have a terrific holiday!!!

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with June - birthday card


  Hello!  This is June Houck with a little Shop Pumpkin Spice blog inspiration today.  When My Mind's Eye released their Lost and Found Two collection, I purchased the entire 12x12 paper collection, a few packages of the glazed brads, and a couple of packages of the layered chipboard.  I planned my entire card around the layered chipboard piece (the semicircle scallop piece with pink pearls.)

  Since I decided to center my card around the layered chipboard piece called "Blush", I pulled out every sheet of "Blush" until I was happy with my paper combination.  I used five different sheets:
  I distressed the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink (pumice stone), and stamped the My Pink Stamper sentiment (from the "Birthday Doodles" set) with "Darkest Night" hybrid ink.  Other supplies:  EK Success border punches, Creative Memories corner rounder, and My Creative Time "Flower Petal" dies.

Thanks for stopping by!  June
