Lawnscaping Blog Hop!

, ,
Hey Friends! I'm super excited to be a part of the second Lawnscapings Blog Hop. If you're following along you should have come here by way of Jeanette. If you want to start from the beginning just head over to the Lawnscapings Blog. Be sure to comment along the way to be entered in to win some amazing prizes!

This time the challenge was RED. Perfect for this time of year!
I knew I wanted to do something hoilday-ish, but really had a hard time deciding on a card.  Then I realized I hadn't used my Ornate Ornaments set yet OR my amazing Holiday Style paper from October Afternoon and I got to work. Downside was the Sally's ABC's didn't have an ampersand and I had to hand draw one. I think I literally practiced 100 times before I took pen to the card. I'm pretty pleased with my handiwork.

Thanks for stopping by and head over to Nina's blog to continue on the hop. Don't forget to comment to  be entered to win a prize!
