Make it Monday Challenge and a Little Give Away!!!

Hi again dear friends!! I'm busy at work making goodies for the Farmer's Market and I thought it would be fun to do a midday post along with a little give away!!!  My first post for the day was a bimonthly Glitz Design post showcasing a little cookbook using Glitz Design Happy Travels papers. I do believe that the Happy Travels line was my favorite from all of the winter lines!!  Not only are the papers fabulous, the stamps are also fantastic!!!  I have an extra set of stamps and I would love to give them away to you!!!!

All you have to do is comment on this post and/or tell us what your favorite Glitz Design Product is by midnight Sunday, June 24th, and I will draw a winner on Monday, June 25th.

In the meantime, I have a Papertrey Ink Make it Monday Challenge Card to share with you!!

Here's the Challenge:

Make It Monday #71: Bordered Sentiments

and here's my take on the challenge:
I used Papertrey Ink's Crackled Stamp and Pretty Peonies Stamps along with MME Follow Your Heart Stamps by Rhonna Farrer and Prickley Pear's Clear Butterflies Stamp set.
Supplies Used:
PTI Inks:  Smokey Shadow, Sweet Blush, and Spring Moss
PTI Cardstock:  Stamper's Select White and Smokey Shadow

I look forward to giving away the Glitz Design Stamps!!!  I hope you play along!!!
Have a wonderful day,
Kristii

    Oh, the peonies in black are BEAUTIFUL!!! I would never have thought to do that... I love how you used the crackled stamp to anchor everything too - I don't have that one yet (not ordering till SAF!), and I hope I remember what you did with it!! This is gorgeous!

    Lovely card Kristii! I love the way you used those pretty peonies. The colours look great. And very clever use of the crackled stamp. I now regret not getting that. -- Irma

    Your card is fabulous, I love how clean and simple it is.
    My favorite Glitz product has to be the Happy travels line, both the papers and stamps. I love that it's versatile and can be used for making masculine cards and projects, it's hard to find stamps that are not overly cutsey or flowery.
    These are perfect, I would love to win your stamps.

    I love the simplicity and classiness of this card. Sometimes I get so carried away with embellishments that I forgot how beautiful a graphic design like this can be. Being a romantic through and through, I have to say that my favorite Glitz design is Beautiful Dreamer. So girly and gorgeous!
