Hi everyone!! Thanks so much for stopping by today!! If you are here from Jessica's blog, then you are in the right place - if not please head on over to Jessica's Craft Shaque to get in on the start of the fun! :)
First off I would like to thank Jessica for letting me join in on the celebration!! Second - Congrats on your one year blogaversary Jess!! Looking forward to seeing all the great things on your blog on the year to come!!
Our projects on the hop today were inspired by a project of Jessica's blog. When I was browsing through all of her past creations, this one really stood out to me...
(To check out more info on pics of this project choose THIS link)
And here is the card I made...
I have been wanting to use this cut from Kate's ABCs since I got the cart a long while ago. This was one of those carts that I HAD to have, and haven't used it near enough... I used my Pink By Design Labels set to make the Happy Birthday tag.
I used a really neat shimmery Momenta ink for the background (Pressed Tin by Market Street stamps), but it didn't show up well in the first pic so I took a couple more...
I also used my sewing machine on this card. I am falling in love with stitching everything now! I think you'll be seeing more of my stitching in the future...
Now that you've seen my card, I should tell you all about the candy being given away in this hop!!!
