A Blog Named Hero: you are my sunshine...

on



I'm part of a ginormous Seasons Giving Blog Hop, you won't want to miss it, check it out HERE.

 Click HERE for the Paper Made Bakery New Release & Blog Hop.

 I have some GREAT news HERE.

I'm super thrilled to tell you that I'm a Guestie over at

A Blog Named Hero!

A new challenge starts today


I used a new Hero Arts set and a new technique:


I've been wanting to try out the chalkboard technique for awhile.  I'm not much of a technique person so I'm glad I had this push to follow through on this.


I managed to combine 2 Hero Arts Sets...my new one:

Hero Arts/Studio Calico Hey Day Sentiments


along with

Hero Arts Thank You for Being My Friend


The snowflake is Studio Calico and the sentiment strip is from Amy Tangerine's Ready Set Go collection.

Simon Says Stamp is the super sponsor!


Make sure you pop over to A Blog Named Hero to see what all that gals designed!  

You will be truly inspired....
