Happy New Year!
What could be a better way to really get this year started than another fabulous blog hop by DeNami Design? Did you know that DeNami Design released over 50 new stamps this month? They are fantastic! Make sure to check out all the new releases, including new colors of cardstock and grosgrain ribbon by visiting their site HERE.
Now, let's get back to our main event...
If you've been following the blog hop, you should have just seen the gorgeous creations of Virginia Larsen at her blog: Ginny Lou Studios. She has such a great sense of color and detail!

This month's theme is Simply Scallops! How much fun is that?
Here's my card creation:
I wanted to use the scallops as interesting corners and borders. I was also so excited to stamp the polka dot background in rainbow colors. It's so easy to ink the stamp when using Dew Drops by Memento! Plus, I used my fabulous ATG adhesive to create my own glue dots for giving Mimi some dimension, and I used Diamond Glaze to give several of the elements on the card a glossy shine. I had so much fun with this card and the bright colors
Next on the blog hop is the incredibly talented and unbelievable sweet Sue Lelli. Her blog, Card Therapy is amazing! Check out the flowers she makes on many of her cards! STUNNING!
