Trendsetter Tuesday-Tobi!
Hey everyone! I just realized that I am a day behind (and probably a dollar short somewhere...lol) and totally forgot to do Trendsetter Tuesday on time. I am so sorry TOBI! This week's trendsetter is none other than the amazing Tobi Crawford!
I love Tobi's style and ability to get movement into her artwork. Here's are some examples of her fabulous work!
Tobi's use of bright color and pretty clouds, along with the cut out from the frame makes this one of my favorite cards from the Blossom by Blossom release.
This adorable card with the pinwheel and sentiment on the outside....
followed with the sentiment finale with the adorable girl from this month's new release Freeze the Moment stamp set on the inside just makes you feel like summer!
Tobi can also do a gorgeous vintage/shabby chic inspired card. Look at this pretty card using this month's new release Forever stamp set. Isn't it PRETTY!

Stampbook Saturday!
Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!! It's Jodi here with you today for Stampbook Saturday!
I was SO inspired by this GORGEOUS card from my BSF Jessie! I LOVE the layout and the stamps she used! As soon as I saw this one, I knew it would make a fabulous Stampbook page!
I used the same stamp set, Bit of Stardust, from There She Goes for my page, and I also used somewhat similar papers. Instead of the sentiment being the focal panel, I used a pic of my sweet Avery instead!
I stamped all of the images in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut them into squares and, if you can believe it, even paper pierced! The patterned papers are Dots & Strips from Echo Park Papers, Metropolitan Collection (the green pattern) and Candy Shoppe Collection (the pink pattern).
I added a yummy polka dot ribbon and a big bow, and I searched and searched my embellie stash and FINALLY found a spiral clip! If I am making a page inspired by Jessie, you know it HAS to have a spiral clip on it somewhere!
Thanks SO much for stopping by!!
Recipe:
Stamps: Bit of Stardust from There She Goes
Paper: Razzle Berry (MFT), Choice Snow White (TE), True Black (PTI), Metropolitan & Candy Shoppe Dots & Stripes (Echo Park Papers)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Copic Markers, Paper Piercing Tool and Template, Polka Dot Ribbon, Gingham Ribbon, Bow Easy, Spiral Clip and Foam Tape
Jodi
