Hello folks and Happy Friday! I will be honest, this little blog post is going to be a quick splash of inspiration to get your weekend GOING! Why? Well, in a matter of hours yours truly and the Chief Creative Peep of Power Poppy, Marcella Hawley herself, will be on a plane bound for Creativation 2017, formerly known as CHA.
WHAT?
Yes, I know. It is almost too much to bear. Why? You might ask? Because in the nearly 10 years Marcy and I have "worked" together, we have never met in person. Never. Not. Even. Once. We have a LOT of catching up to do, don't you think?
So, in addition to floating the trade show floor and soaking in all the new design ideas and trends, we will be POPPING with ideas to make Power Poppy even bigger and even better so that you can vicariously, through Marcy's design prowess 'Live Life in Full Bloom!'
CAN I GET AN AMEN???
Wonderful! Moving on! We'll share some of the fabulous finds we discovered on our weekly hop around the blog-o-sphere! They are beauties, I tell ya!
First up, Lori Craig knocked our socks off with this sparkly, embossed and beautifully colored up bevy of roses using a blown up version of our digital stamp set, Arranging Roses!
Elizabeth Zaffarano showed us just how lovely Power Poppy's digital stamp set Flowers, Always can be... gilded in foil!

Heidi over at "My Little Stamping Blog" made us smile with this sweetly colored budgie from Power Poppy's set Short Stacks! We loved the vibrant colors and the contrast with that peaceful, easy pastel background. And, who doesn't love a bit of bedazzling!
And, Jenny Colacicco made me swoon at her interpretation of Power Poppy's newest digital stamp set Sweet Pea Show in a delicate wash of watercolor!
Like I said folks, short and sweet! Now it's time to 1. remind you to play along in our Power & Spark Winter Blooms Challenge! You can read all about it HERE. And, 2. share the linky so that you can "Oooo" and "Ahhh" over the Bloom Brigade's latest Power Poppy Creations!
Thanks for stopping by and as the kids used to say.... "See Ya on the Flip Side!"
