NEW RELEASE Mothers & Fathers 2014 Blog Hop
Let’s CELEBRATE!
We would like to celebrate our new Mothers & Fathers 2014 release with you by “hopping’ along and sharing some amazing projects!
Before we get to the hop, be sure to check out the PDF catalog below…
Our families are growing! You may have heard, Shari Carroll is going to be a grandma to a baby girl this summer. AND my brother and his wife are also having their first baby. It will be my first niece :) SO EXCITED! My daughter will finally have a lil’ buddy during our family gatherings. That’s great because I think she’s starting to lose interest in the games her big brother and her boy cousins prefer – mud stomping, truck racing, and minecraft (is this an addiction, or what!? )
Shari designed the Expectant Mother Stamp & Die set to celebrate this joyous occasion. Check out the awesome card she created!

We also have an amazing card created by Emily, one of Simon’s amazing, talented teammates. She is part of our home office team in Columbus Ohio and a graduate of Columbus College of Art & Design. Emily is new to the card making world and had joined us to celebrate the Mothers and Fathers release! Thank you Emily for sharing your card & talent with us :)
We’re so excited to hear what you think of the new products and hope the rest of these amazing designers help to inspire you at each stop!
