It's the Spring 2012 Riley Release!

Welcome to the Riley 2012 Spring Blog Hop featuring
14 of the cutest Riley stamps ever!

First be sure you started the blog hop here. I am
actually the last stop.  Be sure you leave a comment
at each stop because we are all giving away your
favorite new Riley stamp!  You choose!
Be sure you check back to see if you are a winner
and we are trying to contact you.

Now for the fun stuff!
How about Easter Basket Riley?

Okay things got a little kooky with my dollar finds.
First there were these felt buckets.  They just needed
Rileys on them don't you think?
Got the buckets done and filled with
eggs then I found these stuffed flowers!

It's Chocolate Bunny Riley and Painting Eggs
Riley!

  I just covered the centers with more Riley goodness.
(Hint - tacky tape holds to fabric beautifully!)

Here is the total package... with Stacked Eggs Riley.























Well I just could not stop with Easter....

I think this is my Thinking of You, Get Well Soon or
Just Because potted plant featuring HUGS!  LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!  Now go back and order
your favorite stamps Right Here.

Sneek Peek Day 5!

Would you like a little peek at some of the items headed to
Stamper's Ink for the store display on release day?

It's the Riley Eating Easter Eggs and Spring Flowers
stamps!

I had so much fun making these!  Remember all those
egg stand punch outs we got as kids with the egg dyeing kits?
Well these are Riley's version!

I just cut an inch wide strip added a 3/4 inch strip of
decorative paper on top with tacky tape then fit the strip
to the egg and taped the end and cut off the excess.

Cut two oval shapes and add a cutout Riley
stamped image!  The pretty diamond patterned eggs
came from the Target dollar bins.

Come back tomorrow night at 9 PM Central Time
to see the rest of the display.
Some more kooky dollar bin finds that makes for some
mighty fun Easter decor!

April Showers Bring May Flowers!

The simplicity of the new Spring Flowers stamp
makes it perfect for any type card!
Whether you are saying Happy Birthday,
Thinking of You or Get Well Soon it works!

Who doesn't love an armful of daffodils
and tulips? 

This is a 5 x7 card so a big card
with just an image for impact.

I love this stamp!  Look for the
Spring Flowers stamp Thursday night!

Until tomorrow!
Therese

The Easter Bonnet Parade!

Ahh who doesn't love an Easter Bonnet Parade!
Isn't Sophie gorgeous in the new Flower Bonnet
stamp?

The weather has been gorgeous here in Riley's hometown
and I think everyone is in the mood for Spring.
So here is a quick way to add a touch of Riley to Easter.

Just a felt basket from the Target dollar bins.
Add a bit of ribbon and Riley with
his "StackedEggs" on the front
and you are all set!
A craft hint - tacky tape is perfect for holding the
paper design to the felt.

More Tomorrow!

Therese

Share a Smile!

Happy Sunday Morning!  Time to Share a Smile!

Want to see one of the cutest balloon stamps?
This is the Smiley Balloon stamp.

Just a simple card that lets that smiley balloon shine.
I added Glossy Accents to the balloon to make it pop.

This is a super sneek peak of a collector's stamp -
you will need to stay tuned for details from Riley's Mom
Tanya to find out how to get this one.

Just a super simple stamp with a big message!
Perfect to make a quick notecard such as this one.

See you Monday Morning for more peeks!

Therese

So come along with me as we discover some super fun Spring

I'm Late I'm Late....

for a very important date!  The Riley Sneek Peeks!

I am sorry I have been missing in action.  It has
been a wicked month at my house.  In the midst
of it all my computer decided it would join the
in the fun and games and quit.  Ugh!

So I am busy getting everything back together.
I plan on posting several projects Thursday
night. 

In the meantime want a peek of something
super fun?  I am stealing a pic from Tanya
just to show you this. 

I have been doing Cricut Club projects
for a class at Tanya's store Stamper's Ink.
Here is the August Class project.

This is the new Cricut Word Collage Cart with
our favorite Moose Riley!

I loved how these word collages matched up with
Riley so much that you just might see another one...
hint hint....
So stay tuned and I hope to show you some Riley
meets the Bug projects (the Cricut Bug that is.)
