Today I paired up 2 of my favorite challenges, Kraftin Kimmie & JUGs!  This week's Kraftin Kimmie Challenge is brought to us by one of my fave stampers, Kim O and she's challenging us to Paper Piece!!  I LOVE paper piecing!  Head over to the Kraftin Kimmie blog for more details on her SALE!!!  and to see how you can some free rubber!!!

This weeks JUGs challenge is WASHI!!!  I chose this Flower Dark Blue tape and the coolest thing is that it actually has 3 patterns in it (checkerboard, stripes & floral)!!!  Below is the inside of my card.

IMG_0540

    The challenge is to use washi tape and our sponsor is Modes4u.

Here is a little information about the company:
Modes4u is an online shop for cute stationery, fabrics, Bento lunch boxes, DIY clay sets, Re-Ment miniature toys and accessories, which are imported from Japan and the USA. The company based in Hong Kong was founded in 2007 by Managing Director Sandra Boch and always stocks several thousand kawaii products. Modes4u is an official San-X online retailer offering free international shipping for purchases over EUR 60 / US$78 / ₤ 54.  The online shop is especially active in the field of social media, having more than 60,000 Fans on Facebook, over 4,000 followers on Twitter and an English and German company blog.
While the company sells many different types of non-crafting items, they do sell lots of washi tape.  Here are some links to the product that they carry:
The fun news is that Modes4u has given us 6 rolls of washi tape to give away!  So we decided to randomly choose two (2) participants this week to each win 3 rolls of tape!  All you have to do is play along using washi tape.  Don't have any?  No problem!  Here are a couple of links demonstrating how you can make your own!

To make the hop more fun, there are 2 hidden spot prizes along the way, chosen from those that leave comments on the blogs.

Meet Dick van Duck Graduate!  I just adore the look on his face.  Well my "baby" is getting ready to graduate from Middle School.  It's seems like just yesterday that his Kindergarten teacher was stopping by our house because "Cutie Bug" had left his DS at school after sharing.  I am just sure that years ago I'd made a deal with my youngest child... NO MORE GROWING!  So how in the world did he get to be taller than me and ready to "promote" from Middle School?    I am just positive that I did NOT allow this to happen!!!  Seems that we have so many "near and dear to our hearts" graduating College, High School and middle school in the coming weeks... I really hope Kleenex has ramped up production of tissues!!  To all of those graduates, what-ever level you're at...

You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.

This is such a pretty set!  I paired up the pretty wreath with "Thinking of You" and of course needed to ink those roses red!  These were so fun to color!

IMG_0503

I used some Rouge Liquid Pearls in the centers of the pink flowers, and the layout is one of Jen's Deconstructed Sketches.

Designs_by_Torico

It has been awhile since we released a flower set from Torico, so this month, we have a GORGEOUS one from her! I can only imagine the elegant cards you all will make with this gorgeous set.

You Are Loved is a 4x4 set that includes a total of 5 stamps and will sell for $12.00.

Would you like to win the new You Are Loved stamp set? Here is what you need to do- visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post.

You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday, May 25th with the winner being announced during the release party chat.
