Happy Saturday!! I'm so excited you stopped by today because we are having a
CLOSE TO MY HEART BLOG HOP today! Woo-Hoo!
I'm listening to Spotify while I'm at the computer this morning.
I'm singing and rocking and dancing in my chair.
A scary thought, huh? LOL
Thanks for joining us in our Close To My Heart Blog Hop. We are a short hop with only 10 stops including this one, so be sure to hop over to all my talented friends' blogs, follow them (and be sure to follow me using BLOGLOVIN - button at the top of my blog in the left column), leave them some comment love, and keep an eye out for BLOG CANDY!
Ready to see my card I made for this hop?

- Card base 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
- Pattern strip cut @ 5 1/2" x 2 1/2"

Beautiful card! Love the color combo:) What a F*U*N hop! I think everyone did a fantastic job but I seem to really love Tara'a hot air balloon. I wish I could get a ride in it to get me somewhere warm and sunny. LOL! We have been dealing with a foot of snow the last few days, ugh!
