WCMD Thank You Hop



Hi everyone and welcome  to WCMD Thank You Hop. I still remember, like it was just yesterday when I found out I was one of the winner for 2013 World Card Making Day. To say I was excited was an understatement. I had to read the announcement twice just to make sure I wasn't mistaken.  :)

Soon after, someone suggested a hop and of course, we all love blog hop, right? So, all of us jump in and here we are.

You should have arrived here from my sweet & talented friend's blog Trinh Arrieta. Our challenge is to create a card using our winning goodies (and... psst... there's a giveaway below) in the category that we won in.

I won in birthday category, so I get to create another birthday card. Here's my card using patterned paper from Jillibean plus tag embellishment and alphabet sticker from October Afternoon.


This card comes together pretty quick and I love how all the elements work together the way I envision it. I love the fact that I get to use the alphabet sticker and mixing it with stamp sentiment. Note to self: don't be shy to mix sticker & stamp.

As usual, when I received something, I like to share as well. So many people has been so supportive and always cheering me on and I want to thank you by doing a little giveaway. I am giving away this Spellbinders Captivating Squares and Hero Arts Shadow Ink. Most likely I will also throw in some additional goodies. ;)

Simply leave a comment here by midnight Tuesday, March 4 and I will pick a winner on Wednesday.




From here, please hop on over to Veronica Zalis. Thank you all so much for stopping by here and I wish you all a fabulous weekend. 

In case you missed any link, here's a complete list of the hop participants:

Let's see you used a really pretty doily. Score. The pretty patterned paper has yellow ocher tones in it. Score. You used gingham paper. Score. You added a butterfly. Score. Bling. Score. Great use of negative space. Score. Created layers. Score. Is that wood grain beneath the "happy". Bonus score. Well done.
