JANIS IN ID!

Janis featured a trio of trees on her creation and added a whole bunch of different kinds of embellishments -- rhinestones and heat embossed accents ---  to help this Christmas creation SPARKLE! Thanks Janis for playing along! To grab your prize simply email us at bloom@powerpoppy.com and let us know which clear stamp set or which three digital stamp sets that you would like us to send your way! CONGRATS!

And now to that bit of promised eye candy! This little snow dude -- part of the Let's Chill digital stamp set --- is hot off the Power Poppy presses and already we are seeing him sprout in creations left and right! I just adored the soft hues Gail Meinen used to color up this frosty pal -- adding bits of bling to boot! She mentioned she needed this little guy becuase of her love affair with snowmen and, well Gail, we are glad you thought our snow guy cute enough to nab!

Even with all of that inspiration before you -- WE HAVE MORE! The Bloom Brigade is on stand by to share some of their recent creations. As always, hop by, say hi, and get a little creative inspiration while you're there!
