True Love Blog Hop!

Hello lovelies!

Today, up on the blog a little something special..us card making design team from Basic Grey are sharing in a wonderful blog hop with the lovely gals from Cardmaker Magazine, sharing creations from..


You should have arrived from Christine Okken's blog..

For my card, I decided that the card I created first was just not up to par, so went back to the drawing board and re created another...




I wanted to feature the Chalkboard look, I just adore this technique and feel that the stamps from this collection are simply perfect to create this technique, it really is a super fun and really fast.  I added a strip of pattern paper down one side of the card to give it that little something..

I just love this collection, it really lends itself for not just love and Valentines Day, but any kind of card that you want to create..the perfect collection to have in the craft room..

Now, be sure to not just hop around all the wonderful blogs, but also make sure to hop to the Basic Grey Blog, as there will be a giveaway..

It is now time to jump on over to Glenda J Wyatt's blog to see what she has created for your inspiration..

I hope you all enjoy this little blog hop and leave some love..

Have a great day or night..

Hugs
