Thank you for joining us for our May New Release Blog Hop! The DT did an awesome job showcasing all the fabulous new stamps – thanks ladies!

Today I’ve got our 3 hop winners to announce plus I wanted to share a card I made for my Dad for Father’s Day using the new Scene Sentiments set. I LOVE this set – it’s got a wonderful variety of sentiments that you can use for so many occasions.

My Dad is an amazing man who loves fishing so with that in mind this is what I created…

I wanted to go for a rustic look and even though this is not my usual card style and there’s not much stamping involved in making this card I had a lot of fun distressing and creating this card for my dad.

Just in case you are wondering…the DP is the Reel Me Paper Sampler and buttons are the natural wooden buttons which I rubbed in distressed ink to make them match the rustic theme and then hand sewed them onto the DP. The embossing folder I used is the Tim Holtz Retro Circles and the tag was created using the Tim Holtz Tag and Bookplate set.

Now let’s announce some hop winners! YAY!

All winners have been picked by random number generator and we had 2 secret prize hop blogs for May so here are our 3 May Hop Winners…

Before I sign off for the day I just wanted to say HI to everyone from the Copic Certification class I attended in Toronto yesterday! I had a blast and Sherrie the instructor was so wonderful!

Happy Stamping!
