Happy Birthday to
Flourishes, which is now a big 4 years old! So as a part of the birthday celebration for this super stamp company, there is going to be plenty of prizes and fun! Today kicks off the fun with a customer appreciation day and I am so honored to say I was one of the designers asked to help celebrate. Much happiness and hugs to Jan Marie and her wonderful husband Mike, "the shipping guy" for operating such a great company. We are asked to use our favorite set but how can you do that when they ALL are my favorite! How can you get in on the action? Just pick up your favorite set and create. Want to see what you could win?
A mix of these sets above! There are more than a half dozen prize packages being given away this week so, be sure to get all the details and just click
HERE.
I chose the new
Wild For Watermelon set for my card. Used some bright and cheerful colors to set my watermelon in the spot-light. Just colored with my water colored pencils and used my Spellinders Classic Oval and Classic Scalloped Oval to set the image off. I made a little tag for my phrase which is from the
Tag Lines set...Flourishes of course. I had a wonderful buckle-style button, so I could thread my lime satin ribbon through and... I guess I'm done here! Not really though, because in honor of this celebration and my own upcoming 4-year blogoversary, I am offering up some
BLOG CANDY! What do you win? Two stamp sets of your choice from none other than Flourishes! Just sign up by leaving a comment here on this post and you are in the running. You have until September 1st at 5 PM CST. GOOD LUCK!
Your next stop in the hop is Debbie Marcinkiewicz!
