Heaven Sent ...

If you are hopping with us, you would have come from

Judith's blog Jay Gee's Nook

If you just happened to stop by, then I would love

to invite you back to the

EAD Designs Blog

because there are fabulous prizes each week!

A big welcome to our August Guest Designer

Angela of ScrapAlappin

We know you will love her creativity.

I just love this 'tweet' little birdie from the 'Feathered Friends' Stickerz set

from EAD Designs and thought it was a perfect

centerpiece for everything around it.

The papers, fabric butterflies & 'logs' are from Heidi Grace,

the clouds are my favorite dies by Lil' Inker Designs and the

very sweet sentiments are from Tanner Bell Designs.

I thought the little nest needed a bit of sparkle and that was

easily accomplished with Stardust Stickles.

Aren't these gorgeous ? !

Don't forget . . . 

and there's a whole bunch of new designs just

in time for the fall season.

Well . . .  It's time to get you on your way to see

I Thank God ... For New Opportunities!

Hello and welcome to The Open Window today.

It is a truly exciting day as I have some fun & fabulous

things to share with you.

You may have heard me talk about my friend Tanner Bell

from time to time.  He is a 13 year old entrepreneur who loves

creating.  A little over a year ago he started a new blog & new

stamp line known as 'Mr. Cricut Crazy' and today, he starts

a new chapter with . . .

 Tanner reminds me a lot of ME when I was his age

as I would go door to door selling personalized

Christmas cards . . . of course, this was back in

the 70's, but the story is still so much the same.

To have an opportunity to encourage & promote his passion

with TBD is a real treat for me.

I am excited to be one of TBD's first guest designers

along with one of my besties, Savannah O'Gwynn and

in a sec, I have more fun news to share !

The newest releases from Tanner Bell Designs are all sentiments & have

so many wonderful possibilities.

For this card, I used 'Enjoying the Moments' and thought it was the

perfect sentiment to go with this beautiful felt embellishment

by Susan Winget for K&Company.

Here are both sets which are 

now available from TBD . . .

How would you like to WIN both of these
brand new sets ?
Just pop by the brand new Tanner Bell Designs Blog,
leave a little love & YOU just might win !

months now as his marketing coordinator & today I am happy

to share that I will be working with Tanner Bell Designs

as the new Design Team Coordinator as well.

I love working with new businesses and although Tanner

has been in business for over a year, the launch of his new

blog & store website is a new beginning I am happy

to be a part of.

With the launch of his brand new site

{which looks totally fab, btw}
