It’s a New Release Blog Hop!
Hi everyone! Welcome to the January BC Dzyns Blog Hop! If you are just popping in here, you may want to start at the beginning with Kim’s blog.
The new BC Dzyns set, Heartbreaker, is available today, January 21st, along with a new Paper Doll Sentiments set. I have a couple samples to share today using Heartbreaker…my favorite and not-so-favorite (or, according to my daughter, “hideous”… Nice, huh?)
We Belong Together (or the Not-So-Favorite, a.k.a. “Hideous” one)
I don’t think it’s THAT bad, do you? I think I’d like it better if I’d done more (or something else) with the heart.
And my favorite, Coffee and Friends
I made this for my friend, Teri. We meet for coffee every couple of weeks or whenever we can fit it into our schedules.
In order to get the girl printed in reverse, I stamped the image, scanned it, flipped it in my photo editing program and printed onto white cardstock. For the ponytail girl, I masked off part of her hair and then changed it a bit.
You may be wondering why the girl in green looks a little irritated. Let me tell you why. (I just happen to know.) She and her friend were enjoying their coffees and a nice chat last week when a man came in and sat behind them. The man went unnoticed until he started making that very disgusting sinus clearing noise. You know the one I’m talking about, don’t you? That literally makes me ill. If I hear it once, fine. I still cringe, but I understand that sometimes people do that because they feel it’s the only way to clear things. (UGH.) But over and over and over and over…ICK! I so badly wanted to turn around and say “DUDE! This is a restaurant! People are trying to EAT in here!” Just sayin’, if you have that much stuff going on, and you need to make that much noise taking care of it, please don’t do it in public. Teri was laughing at me a bit, and we still had a nice visit, but it COULD have been better. GAG!
Ok…I got sidetracked. So for the card, I combined the new Heartbreaker set with Hot Stuff. The girls and cups were colored with markers and raised on pop dots.
I finished the inside too.
To see more samples using the new Heartbreaker and Paper Doll Sentiment sets, please continue on with the hop by visiting Michelle’s blog. You might find a give-away along the way!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

oh these are both wonderful … love how you flipped her and changed her a little
Okay SERIOUSLY..this is fantastic!! About your story, nothing worse in my opinion, except when they full on blow their nose at the table…seriously, GAG ME!!
Your cards are both awesome! I love the “hideous” one too. LOL Your daughter is crazy! What did she not like? Out of the mouths of babes…
The coffe card is genius! I love what you did with that! As for the story… ICK! I KNOW what you are talking about and brave for not going with the “dude” option.
What’s so horrible? I think both cards look great. Actually, the way you’ve layered the patterned paper on the first card, it looks like it has extra dimensionality. And it’s a sweet card for Valentine’s Day.
Love the second card and the way you combined sets! Great job!
LOL!!!!!!!! Oh, sometimes you sound JUST like me!!!
Your cards are fantastic! That second one is genius — love the two girls having coffee!
Oh aren’t you so smart?! That’s amazing! Love it!
Both are fabulous Michele, but i do love the friends card…..great colors, love how you flipped the girl!!
Omgosh - you are too funny, Michelle!! These are both just fantastic - and wow - what you did with the new chica on the second one is just AMAZING!!!!
Oh rock on, so fab.
Too funny! I love the cards, and now I have that sound stuck in my head all over again(thanks a lot - lol!). That looks just like us - me with the ponytail and all. Thanks for the thought - they are just awesome! I love the colors too.
These are both fabulous (you need to check and see if your DD has a temperature or something, because she can’t be in her right mind if she thinks the first one is hideous. Tell her Auntie Carole said to get well soon!
)!!! I LOVED the first one the minute I laid eyes on it, but then I saw the second one and nearly fell out of my chair! You’re a genius. Now, excuse me whilst I go hock a loogie… LMAO! (I know I totally just made you gag — I’m mean that way! 
)
I really liked the first one…I was immediately impressed w/ it! But then I scrolled down and saw the second…and I LOVE that one…the hair-change, the expression=), and the great color combo…the DP is so bright and cheery, too.
Thanks! Always enjoy peeking in on your site. =)
love them and those stamps are too cute
hugs

The first one… NOT hideous at all! I love those bright colors! And the pair of girls on the second card is AMAZING! I can’t believe how different they look with just minor alterations… the ponytail, the little upturn on the smile, the SLEEVES instead of tank tops! I wish I could see things the way you do! That card is awesome! I’m so glad to have had the chance to “hop” with all of you this month!
Like anything you create could be hideous!! Your second card is SO clever!! Love your coffee girls!!
Nice colors on these and I love the inside too! Great job!
Both are adorable, but that second one is beyond clever! You’re amazing!!
These are darling creations!! Love your coffee girls!!
Wow! These are so bright, crisp and cheery! Great paper choices! I love it! Funny story,too! TFS
These are just fantastic Michele! Gorgeous colour choices and beautiful colouring!
I love the friends card! It is amazing that you all had the same stamp and came up with such different cards –I really enjoy your blog -Kathy
WOW!! I am sitting here looking wondering ‘what the heck?’ This is so cool, I love what you did, you creative stamper you!! Your colors are awesome too, love the brightness about it!
These are really great! I love the friends one, perfect card!
This is just so clever!! I think the first card is just perfect and the second is truly amazing!! Love the background story too! LOL!
Great job!
Smiles,

OK, so apparently I have “hideous” taste LOL I was like OOOO right away when it loaded, the 2 kinds of DP made it have depth, it looks layered…
And the second card I cant type what I said, LOL, but TOTAL Genius I tell ya… The stamp, scan, flip, digi something or other is beyond me, perhaps my old school reversing stamp will work??? Better get that sucker REAL wet..
And I’m sorry about the snot sucker, of course the first thing aft you thought “Dude”… was well, he IS eating…..
You MFT girls rock! First blog hop and enjoying it!
Geesh Michele, this is genius! Love the two girls together!!
I’ve got a funny story about noise making in a movie theater, remind me next time we chat….
Wow, that is awesome how you did the friends card. You are so clever. Your coloring is lovely. You are awesome. Nice cards.
Super warm and fun! THe colors just pop!
OMG-me too! I could almost toss my cookies when I hear those disgusting noises! I don’t understand people who do that in public…and don’t cover their nose or mouth when they cough or sneeze…or when they just fart like it’s nobody’s business, yeah that happened at my salon last night. Dude-go outside!!!
Your card is fantastic btw! Thanks for the laugh!!!
They’re both fabulous, Michele!! I definitely don’t agree with your DD.
Such cute images, and wonderful cards!!
