February 18, 2008
Here are 12 MORE samples of 4x4 cards using the Tie the Knot Simply Scrappin' Kit from Stampin' Up! I just love this kit and as you can see, I have combined it with our Sale-A-Bration Rub-Ons, taffeta ribbon, wide Grosgrain ribbon, and the fabulous new Poly-Twill ribbon from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog.
AND... WAHOOOOOOOOO... can you believe it... my blog received it's 200,000th hit overnight last night!!! OH MY GOSH! In just 9 short months - 200,000 hits!! wowza!!! To celebrate, I'll be randomly picking 4 people who leave a comment to this post, and I'll be sending you some of these Tie the Knot Cards! good luck! (winners selected at 9:00am Tuesday, Feb. 19)
Did you know our Scallop Circle punch fits the "heart/flower" rub-on perfectly?? (upper left card below).. I didn't know that until I tried it .. but it's too cute!
Have a terrific day and THANKS for stopping by!
