Happy Anita Jeram & Colorado Craft Company release day my Crafty Friends! Release days are my favorite, but this one is extra-special, because we also are having a blog hop with some of our favorite artists!

This 3C release has so many fun stamp sets for upcoming holidays and card needs including Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and graduations. I could not decide which set I wanted to color first!

I chose this adorable graduation set, because my niece is graduating from high school in June, and I immediately thought this cute group would make an excellent shaker card with mortar boards as part of the shaker. How fun is that? I hope Anna will love it!

This poor cleaning mother! Aren’t you exhausted just looking at her? I combined this Amazing Mom set with the New Day Windowsill to create this adorable living room scene. I remember the days of trying to keep a little one busy in the exersaucer while I worked to get the piles of laundry washed and folded.

**GIVEAWAY **
Hop along to each designer’s page, and leave a comment on every blog for your chance to win a $25 Colorado Craft Company gift certificate. EACH DESIGNER WILL GIVE AWAY ONE 3C GIFT CERTIFICATE TO ONE LUCKY COMMENTER! (Oh yeah! That’s a lot of chances to win!!)

Oh My Gosh! This whole release is so uplifting, and what do we need more than anything right now…but the Love Art set really captures the feeling of fellowship and community we share as artists and papercrafters, so if I have to choose, this one is my fave. (I’ll be getting all of them, though). Love your shading technique – so much fun!

Hi, Erin –
This is a tough choice. I think the Love Art set is my favorite. I love the quotes around the edge. I also like “Amazing Mom” a lot. I also love the little tiny “The Artist” stamp.

Your cards are simply adorable! I can almost hear the celebration music for the happy dance in the graduation card, or the panicky squeak of the mama mouse as she tries to get all of her tasks done! My favorite set in the new release is the “For Dad.” It reminds me so much of my hubby playing with our kids when they were little. Such sweet memories! Thanks for sharing. 😊❤️
