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!
