You're Invited!

First things first....   HAPPY BIRTHDAY to HEATHER!  The wonderful and talented designer/owner of FBD who I'm also honored to call friend.  I hope you have a special day!  :) 

You're all invited to the FBD rubber stamp release blog hop that's still going on (14,15, & 16!)!  CLICK HERE!  or simply scroll down one here on my blog to find all the info. you need to get you in to the party.  :) 

After hopping yesterday, I was inspired to create two cards last night.  One is not yet finished, but I'm here to share this one with you.  I used the newly released Surprise rubber stamp (the one with the gift behind her back), and the other lovely is also a FBD rubber stamp called Gift Girl



and this card I created for the hop, but I left it out yesterday, because the post was already long and I'm just not feelin' it with this card. I'm struggling to like it for some reason.  What I DO like about it, is that the Surprise girl stamp goes perfectly with the Come Knock on my Door rubber stamp.  I covered the wreath with this cool flower and button I got in a scrapbook kit.  Maybe that was my mistake?  Anyhow... sharing the card, because our lovely FBD DT Kenzie threatened me and said I better share it.  She's kind of scary.  LOL!  okay, not really.... she is a sweetie pie and said only wonderful sweet things even though she hasn't yet seen it either.  So here it is....  The dropping by sentiment is also FBD!





So... if you haven't already joined in on the hop, go now.  There's blog candy and prizes....

  8. Hi Vanessa, that you for your lovely comments on my blog always a pleasure to hear from you. I adore both of these cards and love hope even though you have used the same stamp both cards turned out completely different. On the second one love how you made the wreath for the door and the great little mat. The first one. Gorgeous background colour and beautiful details.
