Welcome to the A Blog Named Hero Celebration week!!!
This week we are focusing on the things we love most about Hero Arts--literally!
We've got an amazing group of hand-selected crafters all lined up for you, with projects that are going to make your jaw drop.
The theme of this week's celebration is
Today we have three truly wonderful ladies guest designing for us--we're so thrilled and honoured they are a part of our celebration!
First up is the incredible Jennifer McGuire!
WOW Such a great card--that blue is so lovely and the Eiffel Tower popped up on dimensionals brings just the right about of interest to quite a simple card.
Next we have the delightful Danielle Walls!
This is so elegant and pretty! We just love those flowers--perfect colour choice :)
Thirdly, the sweet, wonderful Virginia Lu!
The perfect Virginia-style card! Clean, simple, fun, bright! We love how she used the scalloped circle stamp around the new Bold Pop flowers diecut stamp! Just so fun.
The Hero Arts products used to make these amazing projects are linked below :) Just click on the link and you'll be taken to the wonderful Simon Says Stamp to start shopping!
Thank you ladies for being a part of today's celebration!
Now be sure to leave a comment, retweet about this post or head over to our facebook account to leave a comment if you'd like--there might just be a prize or two floating around here for a lucky Hero Arts fan!
Thank you so much for joining us! Make sure you come back tomorrow for day 2!
