I don't do color combos

...but I did this one from Moxie Fab World. Too yummy to resist. :) I also combined it with Lucy's sketch.


Don't you just love those clocks? It's from Hero Arts "Cuckoo" which I wanted ever since I saw Dawn McVey's card using one of the clocks in the August issue of CARDS.{swoon}
Now that I have the set (thank you, HERO ARTS!!)....


...it's time to celebrate. ;)

To thank Hero Arts for their super awesome-ness, I am going to give away a NEW 2011 Hero Arts stamp/set. Not telling ya what set/stamp it is, but it's awesome. Well, I guess that's kinda obvious, since it's Hero Arts, but anywho...

To be entered, just leave a comment. Oh, and you just might get an extra entry if you become a follower...just maybeeee. ;) I'll leave this open till...hm...when I'm done celebrating, how 'bout that?

Anyways, thanks for stopping in and for all the sweet comments! I hope to return them all this afternoon! :)


ps - how do you like the new blog look? Blogger has new fonts (I just discovered them yesterday), and there are TONS of great ones, so you might want to check it out. :)

    I love the simplicity of the card! May I ask, how do you do the neat stitching with sewin machine? I tried stitching with a sewing machine before, however, it's kinda messy because I can't stitch it straight.
