SP & Company February Release Day!

Hi and welcome to the SP and Company Blog Hop!

There are some absolutely fantastic new releases available at the SP& Co store right now, so head on over!


For my first project, I created a pretty simple card using the new Certified Awesome set.  I just love, love, love this set! There are so many creative sentiments to use and I love the multiple banners that are available!

I paper pieced the banner and popped it up using adhesive dots.  I thought it would be fun to use some spray mist in the background to compliment the polka dots.

I also created a mini album using Certified Awesome and the new Leaf Background along with some papers from the January Kit Club.

On the cover, I stamped Chevron Chase and the star from All Zipped up, along with some stickers and bling.

Here is the new Certified Awesome set again, with some hearts from the Tiny Build A Banner.

For this page, I used a sentiment from Certified Awesome along with Mix N Match Sentiments: Kids.

This is one of my favorite pics in the album.  Doesn't my daughter look annoyed? You can tell she was sooo tired of me taking pictures all day at the Children's Museum.  :)  I used the letters and banners from the Tiny Build A Banner for this page.

I kept the album very simple - it's just a little memento of our day together.  My husband and son were in Cooperstown, NY at the time for a baseball tournament, so my daughter and I spent the whole week together with my mom while they were gone.  This was one of the fun things we did, so it was nice to look back and remember this summer while I created the album.

I added the little line from Journal This and the sun from Falling for Autumn and some ribbon to finish off the book.

For the Generous Kid!

Hi there!!!! Today I have a sweet fun card I created with some Echo Park stickers, Washi tape and SP stamps!!

I just adore the elements from May's SP Club Kit, which included Echo Park's Sweet Day.  The kits are the best - it makes it so quick and simple to make cards and to scrapbook since everything is right at my fingertips. 

This card was so easy - I laid down some washi tape and placed some stickers on top of it.  I added a few mini staples and a sentiment from Mix N Match: Kids.  I love the clean and simple look of this one!!! I think those few little staples just make the card.

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

I have a few projects to share today, so let's get started!

I'm proud to share that I have TWO new stamp sets coming out today, Wooden It Be Nice and Chevron Chase.  They are available now in the SP & Company store!!!

How great are those chevrons??!!! And I tied that bow using my Bow E-Z.  No way could I do that on my own.  :-)

I used a sentiment from Bold Sentiments III: Birthdays (also now available in the SP & Company store) along with Chevron Chase (yes, it's a play on Chevy Chase).  This card may be clean and simple, but it's elegant!!!

I designed the chevron set with the idea in mind to make it super easy to create a large background with it.  It is SO easy to line up and stamp with multiple times.


Now, onto the next card!!!

This one showcases Wooden It Be Nice and the brand new Mix N Match Sentiments: Kids.  

Wooden It Be Nice was designed large enough to cover the whole background of a standard card, so you don't have to worry about trying to line up the stamp multiple times to create one background.  Ahhhh, soooo easy!!!

I used some flower dies I have to create the negative space and I stamped the Large Polka Dot Background onto the inside stock.  I love Mix N Match Sentiments: Kids.  There are sooo many wonderful sayings - there are enough to fit all personality types!!!

I have one more card for you today.  For this card, I've used all THREE new releases. 

I punched out the circles and stamped them (in different colors) with Wooden It Be Nice.  The butterflies were punched out of pink and have Chevron Chase on them.  That fantastic sentiment was created using Mix N Match Sentiments: Kids and little ol' Chevron Chase appears at the bottom again, to tie it all together! I used foam adhesive to give all of the circles a little dimension.  I love subtle mix of patterns on this card.

So, what do you think? I'm beyond thrilled to be able to design more stamps for SP & Company and I really love my two new sets!!!!
