Farewell Blog Hop

  "Welcome to our "Farewell Blog Hop"! We are doing this hop to HONOR & send off our "Current design team" in a fun way. Since all of us have become friends, we are doing our LAST blog hop together making it a "Friendship"  theme.  I hope all of "YOU" thoroughly enjoyed this team as much as we did! Since this is a special day, there will be a giveaway at EACH STOP! Yep, that means we are having a total of 19 giveaways! All you have to do is leave your comments in order to qualify! Emma will announce all the winners on Monday, 12/23//2013 on here blog! Here is what I am giving away today:



Hello! I am so happy to be back in blog land! This is the first card I've made since I moved...I'm rusty, and can't find my camera...so forgive the cell phone pics please! :) You should have arrived from Nancy's blog, if not, head HERE to start at the beginning. Before I start explaining my card, I want to say thanks to Emma and all my DT sisters for an amazing year. It's been real! ♥ Now, back to business...I stamped the fabulous Cartoon Cloud Background from MyCreativeTime with Soft Pool ink. 
I used the 4x4 Journal Die + More to cut out and make my little shaker window. I popped it up with 2 layers of foam tape and put it back in the space left behind by the die cutting. I stamped the greeting from the Treasured Moments set on the vellum for my window. Filled the window with sequins and called it done. :) 

Your next stop is ROSY

  4. This is a cute card and I love shaker cards, so it is even more cute to me! I love this cloud background and love that you have made it such prominent feature of the card. The sequins are perfect for the shaker part and I love the color combo. This DT is sorely going to be missed!!

You are all, truly, a closely knit group of friends, and we've been honoured to share a part of that friendship with you.
