Today is a very exciting day for me!

I almost fainted when I got the email invitation!!!
In fact when I went to tell me husband, he got
really worried when he looked up at me, he

in such a shocked state. Of course a few hours
later when the shock wore off, I was doing the
happy dance and hugging him, and smiling like
a Cheshire cat !!! Hope I don't mess this up LOL
Be prepared this is a long post but oh so worth it!.

Lana (you are here)
Here is my card
For my card I used The "Beautiful Blossoms" stamp
set from Just Rite. I used SU cardstock. My Oval Scalloped
Grand Nestibilities. Memento black ink and Copic markers.
I had to use my Distress ink of course LOL.
My gold Pilot marker.The gold heart, rhinestones,
ribbon and gold thread were from my stash.
I also used a candy stick from Michaels that
I colored by running it over my Distress ink pad.
I cut out parts of the flowers and layered them.
Well now you have seen my card it's time
for you to leave a comment and go on to
the next blog and who knows maybe you
will be a winner of one of the
FABULOUS PRIZES!!!
Good luck everyone!!
