Happy Thursday and welcome to the Charmed Life Blog. Today I am celebrating with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps 5th anniversary. Korin has invited me to be a part of this Friends of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog Hop.
My relationship started with Korin and SNSS back in February of 2011. It was a Tuesday morning and she sent me an email inviting me to be a part of her design team. I still have the email by the way.
Little did she know that I was feeling down because just the day before I had received the news that I did not make the final cut for the Spellbinders design team. I was in the final round of 20 but only 12 made the team. Korin's email put me on cloud 9 and I did not have to think about it very long before I said yes.
It was so exciting working with her for 6 months. She is such an encourager and so supportive of my work. So thank you Korin for a chance to celebrate with you.
There are prizes to be won for joining us in this hop.
~There will be 4 random participants that will win a $15 store credit to SNSS.
~To be included in the drawings, comments must be left by midnight EST Friday, November 30th.
~The winners will be announced on the SNSS Blog on December 1st at 8am EST
My designer paper is from BoBunny -the "Father Christmas" collection and also Provo Crafts "winter berries". The cardstock is Stampin-Up's cherry cobbler, very vanilla and Bazzill ivy.
The oval dies are Spellbinders floral and small ovals. I sponged the background with some distress inks. An idea that I borrowed from Cathy McCauley.
To complete my card I punched a mini tag and stamped the word "Christmas". It's from the Christmas Light set.
That's it for me so leave a comment for a chance to win and then move to the next blog. The blog hop order is listed below.
