Our blog team has some sneak peeks for you at the stamps—all three sets are fabulous!! Paula has rocked the Year Round Sentiments set (CL582) - this one has a LOT of sentiments, as well as some awesome stars and hearts! Paula added more to it - embossing (Provocraft Script embossing folder), and some ribbon and SHINE!

Barb is also using the same set, All the Time (CL584) - and showing you the other clock included in the set; it's a little smaller and has a detailed border. Barb used We R Memory Keepers papers, and Spellbinders to diecut the heart and star, and wrapped it all up in some yummy bakers twine.

Sandy's made a card today using Right at Home (CL583) - a house, fence, and other images and sentiments that our heroes will love to send home - and even some that families at home will love to send overseas to their deployed loved one! On this card, it's all Graphic 45 designer papers, the ribbon is by May Arts, and the image is colored with Copic Markers.

Yolanda's card really shows off the all-day-long aspect of All the Time (CL584) - and pointing out that our heroes are missing their loved ones around the clock! How clever!
