You are so very creative and I love checking out your blog everyday. I have mentioned you on my blog with the Stylish Blogger Award! Thanks for sharing your creations.
Do I understand correctly that we cannot order from the Occasions Mini catalog until Jan. 25 if we want to apply the $50.00 order to free merchandise from the Sale-a-Bration catalog?
Love the card, Mary! This is a great card and with a quick change of the person’s favorite colors it could be used for anybody! Gotta bounce over and wish Mike a happy birthday. I am sure he will enjoy the card! The punched out HB is the greatest!
What a simple yet fantastic looking card. I am sure that Mike really enjoyed it!
Nice masculine card Mary. I have to revisit this set.
As always your style is just amazing. And.. yes, I love when the stamps and punches coordinate.
