Well what a fabulous Release Party last night!!!! Now to hop, hop, hop with some fun samples to get your mojo flowin'!!!!
First up is Melanie's newest Stately Flowers 2...........
I did look up Hawthorn flowers and found they do come in pink!!! Not that it would stop me from coloring ANYTHING pink! LOL I decided to make a feminine sympathy card.....to have on hand. Sympathy cards are so very difficult for me to make....especially on the spot. So I figured I could make some in advance when I'm not focused on the sad event that needs one. I love the Beaded Oval Nesties. I just went with a very floral and feminine color combo, Pure Luxury Grass Green, White and Bubblegum Pink and used ribbon and flowers and pearls.....I hope someone can smile thru tears knowing that they are loved.
Now for the uber cool Theresa and her Mountain Wilderness......oh yes....perfect for my mountain!!!
Now I just had to color these as Grizzly Bears.....(our family's e-mail addy and username has been Grizzlys for years and years!!!). And they are at home in the snow.....just like me!!! I did stamp them a bit off so there's a little "hole" in my snowy scene! LOL I used Pure Luxury White and Smoky Slate for a wintry combination. Also the Fleur de Lis Squares for a fun background accent.
Now you'll want to hop and see all the fabulous Inspiration the Design Team has in store!! And don't forget to leave comments along the way!!! 2 commenters will be chosen randomly to win a Grab Bag of fabulous Gina K. stamps!!!!!

WOW!!! Your cards are fabulous, Lee!!!
Lee, these are fabulous girl. The first one is so soft with that pink.
These are simply fabulous, Lee! Those bears look like they are enjoying a freshly fallen snow, and your sympathy card is so pretty! Thanks for sharing :) By the way, DD lives in Col. Springs now - are you anyplace close to the springs?
Just adorable, love your work :-)
Great job on the cards and featuring these stamps, loved all the hard work and beautiful detailed cards. TFS!
You KNOW I love all that pink, but I really love those bears in the snow! Gorgeous scene!
Holy Cow did these ever come out amazing!! Totally love both of them. The mountain scene is fabulous. I love all the frill of the pink card. PERFECT!!
Loved your cards. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing.
Is that flower soft snow? Lovely cards both! TFS
These are so magnificent!
You are so creative. How did do the snow on a card with bears?
Great cards! Like you snowy mountain and added snowflakes.
Beautiful sympathy card!
And your bears are so sweet!
Your cards are Stunning!!!!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring :)
Beautiful pink sympathy card, may you never have to send it! And of course some of that mountain snow of yours got on your card, tee hee! It's stunning! Happy Pink New Year!
Fabulous cards. The first one is so pretty and will be a comfort to someone who gets it somewhere down the road. Love the grizzly bear scene!
What great cards! Love the bear card with the snowflakes.
Gorgeous cards. Love all the different layers.
Absolutely gorgeous..love all the layering!
Very nice cards and I am inspired by them. Love all the pearls on the oval and I agree about having to make a sympathy card when you need it much better to have them on hand
This is a lovely sympathy card in pink-with flowers! Fabulous!
Beautiful! The bears are so cute! Thanks for sharing.
your creative cards have my mind spining with ideas. thanks
Both cards are fabulous! Love your grizzly's too, and your snow.
Fabulous cards! You are quite smart to do those sympathy cards in advance and I love your bears together.
Lee, your cards are awesome. I am so delighted to see that new scene card. Although I don't live in the mountains I have many friends who do and one particular man is a grizzly lover and I know I will be surprising him with a card using that set one of these days. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Lee,
The wilderness cards wins hands down. I'm a softie for animals and snowflakes. Gorgeous cards.
THanks for letting us peek at your work!

Gorgeous cards. Love the Wilderness themed card. You do great work.

Both cards are great but I really like the layered look of the grizzlies... very nice!
Your cards are wonderful, as usual. I always look forward to seeing your work! Don't tell anybody, but you are my favorite designer! ;-)
Great cards. I am really loving this Wilderness set.
Very pretty and elegant pink flower card!! Love the snowy scene and grizzly with the mountains in the back ground! Awesome! Happy New Year!
You always make such beautiful cards. Nice job!
Verrrrry pretty!
Beautiful work Lee!!!
Wow Wow Wow Your cards are stunning but the bear one OMG tons of uses..I'm thinking what a fab fathers day card and I just love how happy they look in the beautiful snow!
Lee I love the mama and baby bear card! So sweet! The sympathy card is beautiful too!
Nice work!!
Great cards--I like the snow on your bear card.
Both of your cards are beautiful! Love the scene you created on your second one!
Wonderful cards! I love the delicate coloring and how you stamped off the edge on the hawthorn card. Those bears are so happy! They don't make the card feel cold at all. Hope you have a happy new year!
I love your blog and your cards!
Beautiful stamps! And love the cards you made.
Oh Lee what can I say these cards are stunning. The flowers are gorgeous but then I get to your wilderness card and totally fell in love. Now I have to have that set too. LOL.
You KNOW how much I love this bear in the snow card - It's AWESOME! And that is a truly beautiful sympathy card - surely it will brighten someone's spirits.

very pretty, I like the "hole" in the snowy scene....gives it character.
Great job. Love the snowy Grizzly bear scene. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot com
Great cards, Lee. Your Grizzlies look like they are talking to each other. hehe.
A-MA-ZING!!! I love the pink and green color combo and those bears! WOW!!! Great cards, both of them!
Hi, Lee! They saved the BEST for last!! I am just now getting here, dragging my no longer hopping body, (heavy breathing). I LOVE YOUR CARDS! The first one, yes, it's pink and has some victorian-y kind of feeling for me, which I LOVE. And you bunch of grizzlies on a mountain, this second card was made just for you all!!!! I love it. We are big mountain fans, too (McKinley, Rainier, Hood, Broken Top, & now Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa). Sending you very big hugs, girlfriend!!!! Rosy
Oh wow...both of your cards are wonderful...but honest to God, I absolutely love the bears. The scene you put together on this card is just amazing. And I can't believe that's the fleur de lis diecut...it goes so well with the card.
Last but certainly not least on the list of blogs we're hopping! Your cards are so very awesome - both of them! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent! :D
thanks for sharing with us. Your cards are amazing.
Love your pink....me too.
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing
Thanx for the inspiration w/Sympathy cards....I don't make them often (thankfully!) but always appreciate it when someone does! TFS
Beautiful cards. Very feminine annd pretty.
You are awesome, Lee, gorgeous cards and I'm glad you like snow...keep it in your mountains, please.
Just love the new stamp sets! Happy stamping!
I love your cards...TFS!
great cards! Would have never noticed about bears being "off" LO, you don't have to tell those things, hee hee!
gorgeous flowers! and I think ALLLL flowers come in pink dont they ? LOL
your bears are adorable (-:
Beautiful cards, Lee! Happy new Year to you and your family.
Well!!!!! Now I know I really have to buy the wilderness set. Hopping through I found mostly masculine cards made with it-which made me want to buy it-but now that I see your card and that the set can be used for anyone-I MUST get it! The bow just gives the feminine touch to what usually would be considered a masculine stamp set. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
The off set spellbinder bear card is precious. I was just telling a friend we should get together and make some sympathy cards. Yours is just breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration. These sets are a must!
Too bad we do need sympathy cards around but yours will definitely cheer the recipient! Great wilderness card too! TFS!

Love your beautiful bears. Nice coloring.. I must get with it and learn how to do shading. Gives so much more depth to cards. Thnx for sharing. Hugz, Dottie
Both cards are wonderful, but I really like your coloring on the Missouri Hawthorn and all the elements. It makes a lovely sympathy card.
Great cards! Love those bears.
Your cards are amazing, thank you so much for sharing them.
Love the designs of both cards Lee! Your pink "Sorrow" card will surely make anyone feel better soon!
I love your sympathy card, it feels so full of love, kind of vintage/girlie- I recently discovered that side of me- who knew I could be the pink girlie type? I also love how you used the panel behind your grizzlies to give the feel of a large snowflake-what great cards!
These are really nice cards! I'm a floral/nature girl, so both of thee stamp sets would be divine on my shelf! TFS !
I love all the layers and detail on your cards. Great inspiration.
Absolutely love how you layered the bears. I do get tired of my usual centering of images. I'm going to have to try this soon!
Great cards, love the mountain scene with the bears!
These cards are stunning, your creation of the mountain is fabulous
Beautiful cards ~ Thanks for sharing Lee ~ Happy new year!
