The Countdown Begins!

 

Hello again...yep, it's a busy weekend here at

The Open Window with all kinds of new release goodness!

 

It's Day Two of previews for the new releases at

The Craft's Meow.

Today's set was designed by the very talented

Michelle Bertuzzi and is just in time for the new year ahead.

 

 

Silhouettes are so trendy...skylines are too...

and this set is fab!

 

 

 Many thanks go to my husband Paul for his design idea.

When we owned a stamp store, Paul and I worked together a lot

on project ideas for our workshops and demos, but it's been

quite awhile.  So I was surprised when he took a look at this

stamp set and said "if it were me, I would use the numbers

for a New Year's countdown"

So that's what I did!

I already knew I wanted to make little banners, so it was

a perfect fit.  I love hanging banners using bakers twine

from The Twinery and the 'Maraschino' was a great color

to match the ink used on the sentiment, which is

cranberry by A Muse Studio.

I used the beautiful designer papers from Authentique

from their 'Journey' collection.

We've now revealed three sets...there are a total of

 SEVEN

brand new sets coming your way!

Make sure you stop over at the

The Craft's Meow Blog

because there's a great giveaway going on

for both of these sets.

Leave a comment here and

let me know

which of these 'sneak peek' sets is your 

favorite so far!

So happy you came by and I hope you enjoy your day!
