Well I’m excited to say that we have now had several days of nice warm sunny weather! It’s a miracle! I think spring/summer has finally arrived here in Ontario! YAY!
All this nice weather inspired me to ink up the adoable Lady Buggie stamp and create another YNS Bundle!
Here is my inspirational card featuring Lady Buggie…
And here is the group of products you get with the Glitter Bug Bundle…
I LOVE these new Doodlebug Create a Cards – they are so fun to decorate! Be sure to visit the YNS website for more information on our fabulous YNS Bundles!

Hello Friends!
It’s June and we are finally getting some nice sunshine and HOT weather! YAY! Hopefully the sun is shining for you as well.
I’m excited to introduce you to our fabulous and talented June YNS Guest Designer…Jen Roach! Welcome to YNS Jen! I was so excited when I stumbled upon Jen’s blog, she had entered a card into one of our YNS challenges and I instantly fell in love with her fun creating style.
Here’s a tid bit of info about Jen in her own words…
Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer and I live in Ontario, Canada with my husband and 19 month old daughter. I’m a scientist by day and a paper crafter by night —or really just about any free time I have including my lunch breaks at work!!
I started out in paper crafting back in about 2002 when my Mom and I took a scrapbooking class together. A few years later I decided to give card making a try and it’s been my passion ever since. I’m the world’s slowest scrapbooker so the instant gratification of card making really won me over. Over the years I have used more and more stamping in my designs and I love learning and trying new techniques and styles.
I would probably define myself as a “scrappy stamper”. I *LOVE* patterned paper and most of my cards have lots of it with added layered on embellishments and textures. My cards may not be easy to mail but boy are they pretty!!

Hi everyone! Peggy here to share a quick little card with you using the lovely Flutterbug Wishes set.
I airbrushed the background after cutting the sentiment panel and then decided to pop up the pretty little butterfly’s wings for a little more dimension.
There is also still time to play along with YNS Challenge #43 sketch for your chance to win! Have a wonderful day!

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…
May Hop Winner from YNS Blog – Joan V. (#1 was lucky this time Joan!)
