The Weekend Stamper: VC Rocks Blog Hop- Sneek Peak Sets

Disclaimer

I appreciate all of the wonderfully talented stampers out there for sharing their creativity. I am inspired by their designs when I create my cards and projects. I try to change something about the original, so it isn't a complete copy, but sometimes -- well -- let's just say that it's just hard to mess with perfection. LOL
Therefore, unless otherwise noted the projects on my blog are probably a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) from another awesome stamper. If I rememebered where I originally saw the design, I will absolutely give the credit to the original artist. If you see one of your designs on my site and I have not given you the proper credit, please e-mail me to claim your fame and get the mention you deserve! I have no desire to claim credit for someone else's talent.

VC Rocks Blog Hop- Sneek Peak Sets

Welcome! If you have already been on the hop, chances are you are just now coming from Ellen Kemper's Blog. If you haven't been on the tour yet at all, you can always start at the beginning by visiting VC Rocks.

I am so excited to be participating in yet another VC Rocks Blog Hop. The last one was so amazing! The theme for this hop is the sneak peek or summer mini sets. Well, I have to admit that when I saw this Hostess set in the new IBC I just had to have it. It's called Long Fellows and the only way to get it is by hosting a workshop. Isn't he just the cutest? He's only one of six stretched out animals in this set and I just had to use him. If you would like to make this card, the directions are included below!
