congrats!

Have you seen Hero Arts' new 2012 stamps? I couldn't resist grabbing a few from a local stamp store--Stamps and Memories--after the owner graciously called me when they came in. Talk about great customer service!


I love the Newspaper Skyline and made this quick card for my daughter and son-in-law. They recently moved into a new condo and she was just hired for job that's only walking distance from home. We're so happy for them and it looks like it's going to be a good year!

I stamped the skyline with my favorite white ink--Papertrey Ink's Fresh Snow. I popped up one of the buildings, added a heart, and stamped the sentiment. An easy peasy card that could be used for different occasions. (Hubby thought it was a graduation card, my daughter thought it was for a wedding.)

Check out Hero Arts' 2012 stamps here in their online catalog. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Wow! Your card is beautiful and shows off your great graphic design talent. Your color choices and just the right additions of a heart and pop-up feature make the card a 'Donna special'. I like the background that you photographed it on, too. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations in 2012!
