So be sure to give a litle shout out in the comment section as you hop around to each blog on the list. Winners will be drawn from all of the comments on the mystery blogs. Check out the Verve Blog for all the prize details and deadlines.

If you got here from the fabulous talent from Andrea's blog, you are in the right spot!   


For my card I am using the No Matter What set combined with Love Notes and Jotted Heart Die.  I combined some fun My Mind's Eye designer papers.  I used various stitches with the heart stamped frame.  Inside the heart I stamped one of the images that comes in the No Matter What set behind the sentiment.  

I added a mirrored silver card stock die cut heart, a piece of metallic silver doily, and finished with a seam binding bow from Verve's Truly Madly Deeply Ribbon Collection.  I topped my bow with a star burst.  I finish the card with a few tiny silver pearls.  I am using the sketch from this week's Mojo Monday 275. 


Next on the hop is the wonderfully talented Charmaine's blog!


As always thanks so much for stopping by!
