I used the Bold Buzzwords set (one of my new all-time faves) to make my own sentiment and added some hearts and stars for good measure (also included in the set). I used some of my favorite Maggie Holmes papers and a die cut and finished the card off with a strip of washi tape.
Thanks so much for hopping along with us! I get giddy for Blog Hop day because I can’t wait to see what my fellow DT members create! They’re a talented group of ladies and I’m always so humbled to be among the names on that list.
Have a happy, crafty day! And hey – it’s almost March, so ya know, maybe spring will show up soon! 🙂
