Enjoy Life Blog Hop Challenge


Here we are at day three of this month's new release blog hop challenges, and we are LOVING your reaction to this month's sets! Today's set is just AMAZING, and we are SUPER excited to release another set of Dies!! 


No sweeter treat, or better way to Enjoy Life in the summer time than an ice cream cone, am I right? Well, Torico has made a FABULOUS set of mix and match patterns of ice cream, and their cones, for you to custom make your own YUMMY treats! And even better, we have custom made our own Die’s to go along with this FABULOUS set!!! They are a set of three dies including two ice cream tops, measuring at approximately 1 1/4" and 1", and one cone measuring at 1 1/8".


Enjoy Life is a 4x4 set that includes a total of 11 stamps and will sell for $10.00.
The matching Enjoy Life Dies will sell separately for $8.25. 


Would you like to win the new Enjoy Life stamp set and matching Dies? Here is what you need to do- visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post.

You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday, July 28th with the winner being announced during the release party chat.

Stampbook Saturday

Hey there! It's Tobi here with a project for Stampbook Saturday. It's been TOO LONG since I've made a layout, so this was a welcome challenge. Do all cardmakers say that, or is it just me??? Lol.. Anyway, here's my layout featuring my son at our favourite ice cream eatery: Marble Slab:





It's one of those places where you choose your base flavour/s and your mixin's and they mix it all together on a cold slab. It's pretty decadent! 








For the stamping portion of my layout I used little ice cream images from our Freeze the Moment set. Perfect, isn't it? The papers I used are also an ice cream themed line by American Crafts called "Neopolitan." 


Thanks for joining me! I hope you had a fun Christmas in July week with us!!
