MY First CAS-ual Friday Blog Challenge Post

                       Stamps= Papertrey Ink Mega Gracious Vases, and  Life is Sweet(floral)
                       Dies= Papertrey Ink Life is Sweet
                       Ink=CTMH white pigment, CTMH citrus leaf, CTMH breeze, Versamagic nightsky and turquoise, and Memento Tuxedo Black
                       Embossing Powder= Recollections snow white
                       Twine= Doodlebug

God Bless,

I Just Love The Hero Arts Company!

Today I got a such a nice surprise in my e-mail! I got a sweet, friendly e-mail from Hero Arts, thanking me for entering the May contest. They gave me specific, generous, and kind comments on my card that won! Not a form letter! Just another reason I LOVE Hero Arts. They are a certified green business, and produce excellent quality, made and designed in the USA, rubber and high quality clear photopolymer stamps.  They give away five sets of $50 prizes(your choice of products) twice a month! Check that, seven sets! So generous!  Love that! So if you get the chance to, join in the fun at the Hero Arts Blog.

I Got Top Three!!

Thank you so much!!  I am so surprised, and so humbled to be chosen top three by the CASE Study Challenge Blog!!  They had so many beautiful cards to choose from.  Time for a happy dance:)
