A birthday blog hop!
Hi!
I am so happy to be part of a huge blog hop today in honor of a wonderful gal - Laura Vegas.
This is an honor, as Laura is so very talented, sweet, real and kind. I met her for the first time a few months ago and was all tongue-tied and dorky acting, as I admire her so much. The world needs more Lauras. :)
When I think of Laura's creations, I think of colorful, bold, eye-catching, clean-lined and classy. So, I tried my best to create a card that fits that bill...
Supplies: Hero Arts flower stamp; Mint Motif greeting; Copic Markers; Hero Arts gems and notecard; Memento Black Ink; Neenah white cardstock
(BTW... isn't that greeting fabulous? Love that it is tall. It is new from Mint Motif - check it out HERE.)
NEXT UP IN THE HOP IS SUZANNE SERGI - just click HERE. (While there, be sure to look around her blog - what talent she has!)If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop, go HERE.
And, Laura - Happy birthday. Big hugs to you.
Have a great Saturday...
Wow, Jennifer! LOVE this card! What a gorgeous color combo and I love the placement of your flowers. You rock!
