From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop - Sweet Treats!

Welcome to the April From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop!  We've moved the start of the hop to a Monday and it will end at 6am EST on Sunday 10 April.

As you hop through each of the DT, don't forget to leave a comment to be in with a chance of being selected to win an image of your choice from the store.

There is a little twist this month - as you hop through, count up the number of sequins used on each creation.  When you've hopped all the way through email Faith faith@fromtheheartstamps.com with your answer and the winner will receive $15 to spend in the store!

I've used Full of Beans Birdbrain, coloured with Promarkers and then layered onto a panel of Funky Hand papers - Keep in Touch download (retired).  The sentiment comes with the stamp and that's also been layered.

I've used an offcut of card left over from making square cards for the base - I have a fair few of these strips hanging around so I'd better use them!  I've finished off with a fine liner black pen faux running stitch around the edge of the image and sentiment.

Good luck with the hop!  If you've arrived at me from Michelle then you are on the right track!  Don't forget to leave me a comment before you hop back to the blog.  The winner of each blog comment and the overall winner will be posted on the blog on Wednesday 13 April.

From The Heart Stamps - Sketch #79

It's time for another From The Heart Stamps challenge and its another fab sketch with a twist! And the twist is to add a bit of humour! You must use a FTH image (there are loads to choose from the store) and follow the sketch - and every sketch you enter, you receive a $1 coupon to redeem against your next stamp purchase; they last for a month which means you can save them up and use them to get a free digi!

I've used Full of Beans Birdbrain digi and coloured it with Promarkers. I've typically kept it all clean and simple and decided on (it actually was an inspired moment!) adding bunting with some off-cuts of card from a previous project (I hate to throw pretty papers away!)

The sentiment also comes with the digi - everything else is from my stash. Good luck with the challenge - don't forget to follow the sketch, use a FTH image and pop over to the community to see all the inspiration from the Design Team!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Crafty Boots: Anything Goes
Digi Makeover: Clean and Simple
Lawnscaping: Critters
Perfectly Rustic: Banners / Bunting
