Do you have "the cookie bowl"? You know, the one that you mix your cookie dough in and the cookies always come out right? The one that you would be lost without having? The one with the flat bottom, large circumference, easy to wash? We had a lovely cookie bowl...until the day I set it on the stove while the cookies were baking and a hole melted in the bottom...
Lil' Inker Designs has a lot in store for me and you this month with their January Release. If you are following along with today's hop-the second day of releases, you should have arrived from Judith's Blog. I have two projects today, the first one being a card featuring Stirring in Lots of Love, a set featuring the Sugar Kissed Cottage Vintage images.
Switching gears, I made a clean and graphic card that features one of the dies from the Mini Party Die Set (the stitched string!). I die cut patterned paper multiple times and adhered them to the card base. The sentiment is from the Balloon Builders Stamp Set.
The colors were derived from the lovely color palette at The Play Date Cafe.
As a reminder: there's a lot of product debuting this month, please be sure to stop by the Lil' Inker Blog for details. There is a prize up for grabs too-one winner will be selected from comments lefts on one of the participant's blogs, so please be sure to let us know what you think! Up next is the delightful Laura.
