2012 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to my stop on the 2012 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop!  I am so honored to be a part of this fun event and had a blast playing with these new stamps. :)

My first card uses a new clear set called XO (CL586).  It's full of lovey sentiments as well as a couple of cute heart images.  Perfect for those special people in our lives!


My second card uses another new clear set called Year Round Sentiments (CL582) as well as a new woodblock stamp called Wild Flowers with Label (K5583).  This sentiment set is one of my favorites in the new catalog!  Love the mix of fonts and there's a wide variety of sentiments for any occasion.


Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win some of these fabulous new stamps!  Hero Arts will be giving away five prize packs that include brand new 2012 Catalog stamps. The five winners will be randomly chosen from ALL of the blog hop comments received by midnight PST on Monday, December 12, and will be announced on the Hero Arts blog shortly thereafter.

Your next stop on the hop is the talented Maile Belles.

Remember, if you find a link that doesn't work, you can always hop back to the Hero Arts Blog for a list of direct links to all the blogs in the hop.
