Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!

It's time for the monthly Inspire, Create and Share Blog Hop!  YEAH!!!!  This month we are showcasing projects in black and white (or black and white with a pop of color). Before we get started I wanted to share a group photo of those that were able to meet at Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake for a swap!  So here are some of our monthly hoppers in person.  From left to right:  Darla, Jen, Olivia, Tina, Eva, Deb (me) and Nichole!  It was great to meet everyone in person as most of us have met "online" only!

I am a huge black and white fan and very excited to see what the group comes up with this month!  Here is my project:

Card Recipe:

Stamps:  A Dozen Thoughts
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black (i find this ink doesn't smear!)
Cardstock:  Basic Black, Whisper White, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, Back to Black DSP
Misc:  Whisper White 5/8 Satin Ribbon, 1 3/4 scallop punch, elegant butterfly punch, rhinestones, essentials paper piercing template.

Wow I actually made a project without the big shot...strange!  Speaking of that did you see the Big Shot special going on this month?  WOW...if not check it out click RIGHT HERE.  

I hope you enjoyed my idea....but I have to confess that I cased this from a little thank you card I received in an order from Cindy at demo support last month!  It was a nice little surprise and so timely with the theme for this hop coming up...I did embellish upon her idea  a bit but the layout and main idea came from her!  Feel free to subscribe to my blog using the button on the upper right of the blog....then you'll never miss a post!   Also a blog give away is coming very soon....you won't want to miss out on that! 

Now your off to see what the lovely Tina has created she always has beautiful projects to share! Enjoy the hop this month!
