I get a lot of inspiration from the Hero Arts blog, Flickr group and now their newest catalogue. It is wonderful. This month part of the Blog challenge is to be inspired by something you see in the catalogue. On page 9 there is a beautiful card using the wreath from CL499 Special Note of Thanks set. As I don't have this set, I improvised.
I used my wreath of leaves and added some tiny punched flowers in pink, dark pink and green. The lower portion is a piece of background card I made with Liquid pearls and distress ink ages ago. The sentiment is also from Hero Arts - one I've had for a long time too... still a goodie though.
And I also want to say a big thank you for the lovely cards I received from my friends this past Christmas..... some from Flickr friends and some from my own stamp group friends.

Thank you all so much.
My mind is full of ideas after seeing all the beautiful work on the blogs, Flickr and all the other places I visit....so today ( being a bit cloudy) I will have some "play" time. Love being on holiday when hubby is back at work... can play to my hearts content!!! ~as long as his dinner is cooked!!!!!!!! Take care
