Beautiful...EAD Design Team Blog Hop

This is a super-exciting day for me as it is my very first

post for EAD Designs and it just happens to be the....

If you've reached my blog by way of

Judith's from Jay Gee's Nook

then you are in the right spot indeed!

If not, this is a great time to pop over to the

EAD blog

and get started for a chance to win a

pretty fabby prize!

As I created this first project, I was truly inspired by

my daughter Mallory.  

She is a beautiful daughter and a wonderful

mother and I thought about her all the while I was making this card.

We all know that cameos are so trendy right now and I aDoRe the 

'Mini Cameo Frames' Rub-Ons from EAD. 
You can order them in your choice

of color and I thought the Deep Red would be
a beautiful alternative to the traditional black.

I also used EAD's 'Fancy Frames' Stickerz as my scroll frame around

the beautiful silhouette.  Stickerz are terrific because they are vinyl

and repositionable and so fun to work with.

The sentiment is from Market Street Stamps.

I love the sweet little pearl heart brads and thought they were a nice touch.

For something a little different....

I love anything vintage and this sweet little chair is from 'Vintage Furniture'.

Creating clean and simple is so easy with pieces of furniture.

You may recognize the sentiment as a Paper Smooches design.

It is!

It's from Kim Hughes designed for EAD and is a part of the

'Thinking of You Sentiments' collection.

Here are the sets I used today:

The next stop on the blog hop is...

Rubbing it On with Bo Bunny

Happy Monday!

It's the start of another week...one day closer to Christmas.

This past Saturday night, I had a chance to play around

with a set of new rub-ons from Bo Bunny that I picked up

on my last trip to Archivers.

I don't use rub-ons all the often, but every now and then,

I like to play with something different and something

that gives me an opportunity to whip up lots of cards

all in one go.

All of these cards are pretty self-explanatory.

What I love about rub-ons is that, when you patiently apply

them, the finished surface is so smooth, almost like

it's printed onto the surface.

I just added a stamped sentiment and a little bling

and that's it.

Here are a few more cards using different images from the set.

So that does it for today.

I hope you will make plans to stop by tomorrow over at

the Sweet 'n Sassy Blog.

I will be sharing another post there as December's Guest Designer

and I'm really looking forward to it!

Thank you for coming by The Open Window.

email that I can respond to and I will pop by to say hello!
