[Birthday Bash] Loads of Happy...

Hello everyone. Any guesses on the guest designer for today? It's on my bucket list to meet this amazing woman... just sayin'....

Sneak Peek No. 4
September Neat & Tangled will be on Sept 9 - Sept 13. Can you guess what this one is all about? ;)

Well, whatever it is, any girl can use Sparkle and Shine! I'm loving it! 

So onto our guest designers! I was getting into the car earlier this week and scanning radio stations, when ABBA's "Dancing Queen" was on. And this guest designer's name popped into my head, which resulted in me singing the rest of the song with the lyrics "Stamping Queen" ;) This woman is one of the sweetest, nicest, kindest & humble women I know in this stamping industry. And she is a chockful of inspiration. So we're super psyched to have the lovely Jennifer McGuire on our small little blog-o here. (i'm still pinching myself that she said yes ;)

Hello! It's Jennifer McGuire here and I am so excited to help Neat & Tangled celebrate their big birthday!

Danielle is one of the sweetest gals in the industry. In fact, she is so lovely that I am trying to talk her into buying the house across the street from me even though she currently lives several states away! Ha! 

I also like to use Neat and Tangled stamps because they are high quality, so they stamp wonderfully every time.

And one more reason I love their stamps? They are classy yet fun graphic designs - right on trend. I used one of my favorite sets today for a bit of overlapped stamping.

I started at the bottom by stamping three circles in pink. I then stamped right above it - overlapping a bit - with yellow ink. I love that the overlapped area makes orange! I continued until the card was covered. Easy to do... and they just magically fit on a card front perfectly.

The punched the little stars from black cardstock and added shimmer with my Wink of Stella pen and some shine with Glossy Accents. 

Thanks for stopping by and thanks again to Neat & Tangled and Little Tangles for having me! I am proud of you and your success, Danielle! XO
