Hi Friends! I hope you're having a WONDERFUL day! We are doing great! The kiddos are going to try to stay up until midnight to ring in the New Year, wish us luck!
This year, I finally got my act together to participate in my friend Latisha's amazing Seasons Givings Blog Hop. This is the fourth year of this amazing hop. The hop is just a bunch of crafters and crafting companies giving back to the crafting community. A huge THANK YOU for the past year. Each stop on this blog hop will have a giveaway. It's a wonderful out pouring of generosity and I'm so glad I get to participate this year!
I made a card for this hop. :) By the time this blog hop goes live, it will still be my birthday (Dec 31) so I made a birthday card. Let's be 100% honest, I don't even really know how to make cards anymore. I mostly do Pocket Scrapbooking and the cards I made this year usually had the elements provided by my amazing friend Rachel at her crops. I figured I would just pull out some of my favorite items and let them speak to me. I used an old collection from Dear Lizzy Daydreamer which I have used also every single bit of. I've never used so much of a 6x6 pad before, I only have 3 whole sheets left in that pad. The image is a sticker from the collection. I added some Chickaniddy enamel hearts and a Paper Smooches sentiment. I thought it would be cute to stamp the sentiment in pink but it's a little hard to see.
GIVEAWAY: Today, I'm giving away one (1) $15 gift certificate to 1 of my favorite online stores. One winner will be able to pick a gift certificate from either: Butterfly Reflections Ink, Ellen Hutson, or Paper Issues. Just leave a comment and I will pick a winner and post on Jan 7.
Please follow my blog to see my new posts in the new year. You can also follow my Heart Hugs Designs Facebook Page.
The next stop on the hop is my DEAR DEAR friend Nicole Maki. Please check out the rest of the hop:
