Paper Crafts Stamping Royalty 2013 Hop

Welcome, welcome!

And thanks to Paper Crafts for

the fantastic title and prize.

Me. yes me!!

I have tried for this title

a few times, and this is the first time

that I actually made it as a winner.

CrayCray. For Reals.

So the crown I got isn't quite so

glamorous and sparkly,

But it means just as much

(well almost) as the real thing. :)

Let me tell you, it's been a

crap-tac-u-lar year for my family.

Some really tough stuff.

Real life. You know how that is.

This was the pick-me-up that

I needed so badly.

"They like me. They really like me".

This was my reply to PC when I rec'd my box o' goodies:

Thanks for hopping along with all of us

crown-wearin' gals of 2013!

The card I made features lot's of stamping

with products that came in my pretty prize box:

I used these two sets, one from

Hero Arts and the other from Verve:

I died my black and white gingham ribbon with some blue ink,

and added a little blender pen work on some of the

darling lettering of the greeting.

I received so much goodness in my Royal Prize Box from PC

that I wanted to give something away... maybe you'll feel

a bit more like the princess you are.

This sweet stamp set from Fiskars

will soon be on it's way to one lucky

commenter on this blog post -
