SDC291 - Hearts

Hello and welcome back to the blog, we are excited you are here!
All of last week's entries were fabulous. We just love to peruse your blogs and see what your making.
This week's challenge is "HEARTS" February is only a day away and most people associate the month with Love and Hearts. So we figured hearts would be a perfect challenge for this first week in February.

I had to delete quite a few entries last week.

SDC289 - Swaperoo!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 
We hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and a nice break! Thanks to everyone who played along in our Christmas challenge last month. We loved seeing all the fun Christmas themed projects.

We are onto a wonderful new challenge and one of the favorites of our team. This week's challenge is "Swaperoo"



The premise of this challenge is to take 2 or more stamps and switch body parts on them. For example, put a cows head on a human body or a dogs body with a human head... you get the idea, right?
Our wonderful ATC swap is back! We will be having an ATC swap on our Facebook page soon. Watch for details!!

We also have a wonderful new guest designer this month and her name is Rachel Kleinman. Here is a little bit about her..

Hello! My name is Rachel Kleinman and I am the owner and creator of rwkrafts.com. I am a mixed media artist, card maker, scrapbooker, and general DIY enthusiast.
