Annette Witherspoon is celebrating two years of blogging today so she gathered some of her friends and is having a Blogiversary Blog Hop. Annette has two great prize packages to give away. Stampendous, Pink by Design and a jillian vance design are all sponsors so sit back and be prepared to be inspired. Please leave comments along the way.
I was so honored when Annette asked me to join in the fun. Our friendship began when she commented on my blog. We proceeded to comment back and forth and it wasn't long before we realized we live minutes from each other...a real 'small world' moment. Since then Annette has become one of my biggest cheerleaders. If you're not familiar with her, let me fill you in. She is kind and caring and lots of fun. She's the kind of person you always want to be around because she just makes you feel good. Her laugh is infectious. As a crafter, she is an incredible artist. I love her clean and simple style. Her sense of humor and love of life are apparent when you look at her art. She's the kind of blogger everyone wants as a friend. She spends a lot of time commenting and helping others fulfill their dreams. And believe me, she enables better than anyone.
So when I saw this new Stampendous sentiment, I knew I had to use it to create something to celebrate my friend. It's almost as if it is Annette's mantra. I created a canvas using lots of stamps, neocolor crayons, gesso, gelatos, pitt markers, glitter and embossing enamel (I linked the products I used at the end of my post). It's not a card but it is filled with love and well wishes. Congratulations Annette! May we all enjoy your blog for many years to come.
Here's the Hop List. Be prepared to be wowed. These ladies are my crafting idols!
Thanks for visiting.

DeleteOh wow, I do love that sentiment so much!! Gorgeous flower image and colors...and an inspiring card!
ReplyDeleteGreat Sentiment and card.
ReplyDeleteWell, I already told you on Facebook how much I love this, but I want to make it publicly known how fabulous this is. Speaking of art, this is a work of art. You need to hang this in a prominent place where everyone can enjoy its beauty. Those yellow flowers are so pretty. Yellow is my favorite color!! You said some really flattering things about me. I am grateful, yet so humbled. You are such a kind, caring person. You always say the nicest things. I am so happy that you're on this hop. Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I love your style!

Wow! After I read your post about your "card" I read all the comments and does no one actually READ a post anymore?! This is gorgeous love all the texture you created! I'm a bit shy about canvas but actually own some lol. You, my friend, are an awesome inspiration and enabler!
ReplyDeleteI've got to say that I've very much enjoyed browsing your blog, in fact, I spent a good part of the morning doing so! Your coloring is amazing, and this card for Annette's celebration is so beautiful. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteHi Melinda! What a beautiful canvas. I love the saying and the beautiful flowers. I really enjoyed looking at your blog. You are very talented. I'm honored to be in the blog hop with you. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you stepped out of the box and created this gorgeous canvas!! I also adore this new sentiment from Stampendous and have already used it several times myself. I think it's cool that it's, NOT A CARD...lol and you know what...I sooo look forward to seeing more NON CARDS from you because I think you did a fabulous job playing with all those yummy mixed media supplies and I for one am inspired!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Love the distressed look so much.
