There is more to life...

Hello and Happy Monday!

Well, it's back to work for me today...I had all last week off...**sigh**

Monday means the fabbie E.A.D Designs Blog Hop!

{officially starts at 10 am EST}

You should have hopped here from the E.A.D Designs blog, if not, you'll want to start from there so that you don't miss anything good!!!!

I have a bunch of schtuff to show you today....I  challenged myself to put together a card set based around the Tea Time Stickerz Set.  This is one of the many beauties of the Stickerz sets...you can literally put together a set of cards and still have leftover stickerz to play with!  I managed to use  Basic Grey Curio for all the cards...okay, here we go:

This card is a standard A2 size, 4 1/4 x 5 1/2:

There is more to life

than increasing its speed

Gandhi 

You gotta love that quote....

cardstock:  stampin' up chocolate chip paper:  basic grey curio stamps:  pti ink:  memento rich cocoa other:  ead designs tea time stickerz, twinery twine, pti button, stampin' up eyelet border punch

I was inspired by the new-to-me sketch challenge 4 Crafty Chicks:

Next up is a set of 4 cards that are all 4x4...I managed to combine the Tea Time Stickerz with different elements from the Basic Grey Curio line...

This particular card incorporates a fab doily from my bloggie friend, Brenda Weaver...isn't it intricate and gorgeous?!  Thanks Brenda!!!

Gotta love the Curio Pieces...The Tea Time Stickerz are pure perfection with them...

Here's the 2nd card in the set...

smile

breathe

and go slowly

Thich Nhat Hanh

The butterfly panel is from the Curio Pieces line...perfect for that sentiment...which is partially on the piece and partially off...gives the card a smidge of visual interest...

Okay, this is when you all will really realize how perfect the Tea Time Stickerz is for the Basic Grey Curio Pieces....check it out:

Now how stinkin' PERFECT is that?!!!!!! 

I topped off the tag with some pearls and vanilla seam binding ribbon....

Here's the final card of the series...

Here's a close up of the very magnificent quote from yes, the Tea Time Stickerz set:

I am not afraid of storms,

for I am learning how to sail my ship.

Louisa May Alcott

LOVE that empowering statement....definitely a more scrappy type card design...I teamed up the quote with a silhouette epoxy sticker and bloom.  Did you notice the sassy red stitching?
