Heartfelt Creations Alumni Hop


It's time again for the Heartfelt Creations Design Team Alumni monthly blog hop... We've chosen the last Tuesday of each month to share a project featuring Heartfelt Creations' stamps when we can, just for fun.  If you'd like a chance at winning a prize, be sure to leave a comment on every blog along the hop by Friday - there is a $25 gift certificate up for grabs for one random commenter!

Just a few of us are participating this month:

Dina @ mamadinis.blogspot.com ---------------------you're here!


I dug around and found this favorite image (Maxwell House) from Heartfelt Creations already colored up - it's been stashed for quite a while (the oval was cut with my Coluzzle, if that's any indication!!), but I think I used acrylic paints to color in the scene. I love this image because so many of my plants out front are potted in unlikely containers (an old diaper pail, a mouse trap, a cooking pot, tin cans, old breadmaker pan...). I have a Pinterest board dedicated to repurposed items used in decorating, too.

Here's a closer look at some detail that's hidden by the bow...

Hope you enjoy the hop today!

Thanks for stopping by!

  11. This past year bird stamps have become a symbol of hope and to release anxiety. I never would have thought to use acrylics with HC stamps-great idea. I have some Coluzzle stuff too :) You're not alone.
