DESIGN TEAM SAMPLES

Julie Day: I love Julie's paper pieced peacock and those scrumptious twine colors she used. She totally rocked the little accent hearts and one of the sentiments in this versatile set!

Michele Gross: Michele is all about CAS design she really makes that chickie stand out with this mix of our Hearts-a-Plenty background and the new Birds of a Feather set!


DoBea Alberts: DoBea created these three pretty cards using the same set and coordinating papers. Wouldn't this be a fabulous notecard set?


Jen del Muro: Jen's colors absolutely POP with her double-stamped birdie on this scrumptious tag! I adore the pops of green against the red and aqua.


Samantha Casey: Samantha's monochromatic pink peacock is absolutely lovely! What a perfect way to use shades of the same hue without going overboard.


Stephanie Muzzulin: I adore Stephanie's creative mix-and-match style and this card with accent tag is no exception! Using earthy tones, the pinks and blues stand out nicely, while the teal twine really pulls your eye into that cute little birdie!


Stephanie Washburn: Steph's rustic elegance is always inspiring, and this card is nothing short of gorgeous! I love how she used the papers from her Love Birds Market Fresh Kit to tie a perfectly coordinated look together in no time! 


Tifany DeGough: Last but not least, Tifany's CAS style is perfect to showcase her little birdie who is definitely "One Sweet Chick". Love that twine with the button!

Ah- I hope you guys love this set as much as I do! Be sure to come back tomorrow night at 7 pm for even MORE sneaks and another chance to win!! Whoop Whoop!! :) - Angelica & The MSS Crew
