Our talented hostess for the month of August is Vicky Gould - and for today's challenge (1333), Vicky has asked us to use the "brick wall" technique to make this card - which can be found on Splitcoast Stampers' Tutorial section.  For my brick wall - the middle 6 rows are cut apart and glued back on - and the top 3 and bottom 3 rows of bricks are solid.  This is the first time I've actually made a brick wall - always before I used a stamp or EF.  I sure hope you can join us for this fun challenge at CCEE Stampers Blog - just drop your card into Inlinkz for everyone to enjoy!!

The Senior Design Team is featuring the beautiful new set titled Joyous Season.  This is such a gorgeous set, and not just for the Christmas holidays either! 

 

Last week, (first card below), I sneak peeked a CAS card with the pine branches and one of the Christmas sentiments.  I think it made for a very quick, but elegant Christmas card and I will be making more and embossing as well!  My next card was made with the pretty deer and cardinal.

 

Below is the hop order for you to follow along.  Remember, the more comments  you leave on the blogs of the Senior Design Team - the more chances you'll have towards winning of the newly released stamp sets this month.  Thanks for stopping by and good luck!
