Dot & Whimsy

Monday, Monday!

and that means it's time for our weekly 

Be sure to start with the EAD Blog first...get a looky at what's up for grabs this week :)

Otherwise, you should be here from the wonderful Roses's Blog

Thank you!

Here is a peek at my sweet card for this week's hop

I used my brand new eCraft to cut out the

 welded words "happy b-day", as well as the heart (which I later embossed).

The bee of cuteness and flowers are part of the BEE MINE Stickerz Sheet

I applied the Stickerz to a scratch piece of patterned paper and then carefully 

hand-cut around each image.

Just as easy as you please!

Now it's time to stroll on over to the ever-talented Amy's Blog

Thanks for stopping by...I love your visits ♥

The only thing not from the kit are the punched butterflies and burlap twine...this kit is jammed packed with yummy goodies!

Don't forget that the Nook April special is that new 12-month subscribers get the April kit for FREE 

and then after their subscription is over they receive ANOTHER kit for FREE!

**This month's April Grab Bag is valued at over $55, but only $10 for kit subscribers**

Well, if you frequent the forum at The Nook, then you know we've been without power for a week now...I'm happy to announce that it's back up and running! 

While the board was disabled, a blog was set up so that we could continue to share challenges and news with all of you. 

My latest CARDS Challenge will go live at the blog tomorrow, but to keep with my "Wednesday" schedule at the forum, I did go ahead and post it there today. 

I'm giving away a PRIZE to the first (non Nook DT person) to complete the card and upload it here at the forum  *hint* the theme is "Give Thanks" :)

And here is a beautiful collage of the November Kit...shop for yours today!

I adore this newest set of stamps that I received from Ippity last week! 

I had my Christmas tunes playing, so I was really in the 'spirit' while making this little cutie.

I stamped, then cut out the image from a sheet of white cardstock.  I mounted that onto a sheet of patterned paper (by My Mind's Eye) and cut it out a little larger.  Using that same size, I also cut a circle from the front of my card.  The actual stamped image is placed on the inside of the card just for kicks :)  I then outlined the circle in baker's twine.

Heather has ALL of your favorite Ippity stamps by Unity!  Be sure to visit her at

It's a bittersweet time for Erica at YSS!  She will officially close the store's doors on December 31, 2011.  I can simply say that I have thoroughly enjoyed designing for one of the most fabulous scrapbook stores on the net :)

YSS will be greatly missed!

I will be working with some adorable papers and accents from Bella Blvd this month...I'll be sharing those soon as my last stint as a Design Team member *sniff*

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I will see you all in a couple of days, if not tomorrow.

Take care,

Shellye

Welcome to the hop from My Scrapbook Nook
We're offering one lucky lady a 3 month subscription to these gorgeous kits and several smaller prizes for other hoppers!
We have hidden 7 birds among the design team blogs....so hop around, find the birds and keep track of who's got em'. Once you've found all seven, email those names to: myscrapbooknookdt@yahoo.com
One random winner from those that find all the birds will be drawn to receive a 3 month subscription to the Nook

As for the rest of the prizes, they will be drawn from the designers blogs at random. So comments are optional, but the more you leave the better your chances are of winning a prize, which include kits. For an extra bonus drawing for a $50 prize pack- leave a comment at Danni Reid's link including a link where you have facebooked, blogged or tweeted about this hop- you can leave up to three comments for a shot at that $50 prize pack!

The Nook kits are filled each month with the latest paper collections and embellishments to make you swoon! They are a fantastic deal and our international ladies love the low shipping ;) If you sign up for a 12 month subscription you'll get a free kit after your 12 month mark! Now that's a bakers dozen of goodness!

This month will kick of my status as a CARDS Design Team Member at My Scrapbook Nook...I'm so excited to be working in concert with such a truly fabulous and talented team!

Here is a layout that I created using the October Nook Kit.  One thing that I can say is that these kits are amazing and go such a long, long way.
