B = Bling, Buttons & Brads


Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!
For this hop we will be featuring the letter B. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their B element will be featured in their post. If you came from Jen Patrick ~ Roxybonds Scrappin then you're on the right track! 

It would be so awesome to be able to tell you how carefully I planned out my ABC post for the letter B. BUT the truth is I got stuck. I thought about "B = Buzz & Bumble", which is a great new paper pack available on February 1st. Everyone loves a sneak peak, but that just seemed too easy to me.

What do you know ... the answer was right in front of me when I reached for my Originals book to get some card ideas. I'm so excited that this book AND Reflections are being re-released in paperback on February 1st. The cards I ended up making are all designs from the Originals book. I stepped out of my box and made some shapes I don't normally dabble in. AND I'm not going to say it too loudly, but I used all new papers. I am in love with EVERY new paper pack. It's hard to know where to start.




BLING ... here we have Bitty Sparkles & one of the new small flourishes.  This card design is called "Package Deal".

















BUTTONS ... I looooooooove Close To My Heart buttons. There are so many great sizes, colors & shapes. I will never have too many! This card design is "Clean Cut".














BRADS ... lets not talk about how many brads I have collected over the years. Just this week I ordered two more packs of these shimmer brads because they're going away in the next Idea Book (that means they're gone after January 31st). I love everything about these. This card design is "Tie Back Tag".


Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Can't wait to show you C ... even though I still don't know what it will be!!
