Stay tuned...

We have a BIG announcement on the blog on Sunday, so be sure to check back in for that!

Now that I've mentioned that, let's get to the projects!  We have some great stuff from Ellen and Sharm to share with you today.  Take it away, Ellen!

"So I was making this layout and made a mistake along the bottom where the two pieces of paper meet. At first I was worried and set the layout aside and then I thought, "wait!...this faux stitching stamp is perfect!". So I used a scrap piece of paper, stamped it, cut it out and then made it into a banner shaped and layered it over the mistake.

I used the color scheme from Scrapbook & Cards Today's Colour Suite Challenge."

Sharm has another card to share.  She used the flourishes from the Birds of a Feather set to embellish it!

"Here's another card I made using the Birds of a Feather Stamp set, only this time, I didn't use the Birds from the stamp set. I opted the use the flourishes and tried the different designs available in the set to serve as a flight path for the cut-out butterflies and vine for the flowers.

This set is so versatile, I have to say I love it to bits!
