Here's how I was inspired for today's hop:


Today I'm featuring the CM339 Teacup Flowers set.  Of course, it's a caffeinated design.  The fun sentiment is from Irreverent Birthday Messages.


I used Gina K Designs' Wreath Builders, she is one of the many prize sponsors. 


Hero Hues Papers, oh wow, such a lovely rainbow of colors.  No surprises that I used the gorgeous PS308 Hero Hues Kiwi.

Check out the interior of my 4.25 x 4.25 card:


The sentiment is from CM299 Tea Time.  Who doesn't love a tea party?!

I went through my blog archives to find a project that featured the Hero Arts Big Owl and found THIS.  I found several others but whoa, my style has change a ton through the years.  Keeping this super real, check out this Hero Arts Haiku Bunny project from the very first month of blogging in 2007.

Yup, I still own those stamps:


Next up is the fabulous Art Impressions!  In case you get lost along the way, here's the complete hop listing:

Love the wreath builder from Gina K. The design is so pretty and the sentiment made me laugh. Sounds like that Owl stamp needs to come back. He is super cute as well as the Haiku Bunny. Thanks for showing those.
