Announcing the GRAND OPENING of Busy Beauties DigiStamps!!

In our wonderful world of craft blogging there are extraordinarily talented people. One of those is bubbly, generous, and uber-creative Carolyn Bounds at P.M.S. etc. Today is a very special one for her --- and the rest of us! Here's why:

Announcing Busy Beauties DigiStamps!

Welcome to the Grand Opening Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Lauri's blog, then you are on the right track! To start at the beginning you can visit Catherine's blog.

Carolyn and her friend Thomas have been working on new creations that are now available! These exciting digistamps are fun representations of everyday life and the applications of these images are endless!

I am thrilled and honored to be part of the launch of Busy Beauties Designs. I have known Carolyn for over a year, having met her here on this fabulous forum called the blogosphere. She is a very active participant on design teams and is a generous commenter. This new venture is a natural next step for this extraordinary lady. Please join me in congratulating Carolyn and wishing her great success!

Now I would like to show you a couple of the Busy Beauties.

My first card uses this image of a young lady and is called "Back 2 School" and looks like she is back to the books, imagining possibilities, and cheering on the varsity team!

Take a closer look. She is terrific!

Materials:

Paper and embellishments from the Pretty Poppies collection from Autumn Leaves

Image stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on Papertrey White, colored with Copics

Tools: Martha Stewart border punch

My second card uses an image perfect for Halloween: "Here Comes The Bride". This beauty is busy trick-or-treating and has already dipped into her bag of goodies. The chocolate bar makes me giggle as that could be a trademark of Carolyn and the rest of us --- we love chocolate!

Here's a closer look. I hope that bag contains only candy!

Materials:

Paper: Halloween DP from my stash

Image stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on Papertrey White, colored with Copics

Tools: tree and castle cut with Cricut using Paper Doll Cutouts cartridge; fence is Martha Stewart punch (my favorite!)

Now you have to see the rest!! Your next stop is Carolyn's.

To find out how to make these digistamps your own go to http://www.shophandmade.com/Store/Busybeauties.

And I almost forgot,

there is a G-I-V-E-A-W-A-Y !

If you leave a little love on every blog in the hop, you have a chance to win every digi stamp that is currently in the Busy Beauties Boutique. That's right...one randomly selected person who comments on each of the blogs on the hop will win every digi in the shop... AND that's not all!!! There are still ten more opportunities to win some free digis. One randomly chosen commenter from each blog will also have a chance to win three digi stamps of their choosing.

Thanks for joining us on this exciting day. We hope you like what you see!
