Craft Hoarders Anonymous April Guest Designer

HAPPY MONDAY MY FRIENDS!
I am SO EXCITED TODAY!!!  
I have been asked by the wonderfully talented Gloria Stengel at Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog to be their April Guest Designer!  How FABULOUS is that!!!  Let's get started . . .

 This is Challenge #5 for Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog

Challenge #5 Pick a Stamp, Any Stamp!
You don't have to be a card maker to hoard stamps! With the popularity of pocket-style scrapbooking (Project Life and Photo Freedom) and the explosion of journaling stamps on the market, many scrapbookers have also become stamp hoarders. Digital stamps are more popular than ever. I am sure that most of us have at least one stamp in our stash! You may "collect" wood mounted stamps, clear stamps, cling rubber, or even digital stamps! Get one out, dust it off, and make it the STAR of your project! We want to see a stamp (sentiment, word art, image, etc.) on your project! Feel free to use more than one stamp, but you must have AT LEAST ONE stamped item on your project. 
One talented participant will receive this prize, donated by Hampton Art! The GoGo Crafter Rolling Tote is collapsible, allowing it to be shipped and stored flat. It comes with two wheels and a sturdy retractable handle for transporting. It also has interior dividers that are adjustable and removable, two interior pockets, three exterior side pockets for supplies, and a zippered front area. This tote can hold enough items for an evening crop or be a helpful "companion" at trade shows or expos. 

Over $100 Value  - Product is NOT included

If you've seen my recent post sharing my 'crafting cave' you would have seen that I have a LOT of STUFF!  Stamps of various types included.  Since the theme of this challenge blog is 'Craft Hoarders' I dug around and would you believe I have an entire drawer full of LaBlanc stamps that have never even seen ink!  Yikes!  So that was my STAMP OF CHOICE for today's creation.


Isn't she pretty and so vintage (love that!)
















 My favorite color is PURPLE and with Easter on the way I thought it was the perfect color for today's card.  Here's a peek at the inside of my card as well as the beautiful corner ribbon treatment.  Graphic45 design paper is one of my all time favorites so of course that was my first choice to go along with this pretty lady!
