Meet the Card Hanger Die!

Hello Friends!  I have something fun for you today featuring a great new die from Laurie at Soapbox Creations.  Its the card hanger die!  Isn't it ingenious?  It turns your great handmade card into a gift tag and bag decoration!  You can take a 50cent Michael's kraft bag and turn it into an awesome boutique like gift bag.  You can get the card hanger die from Laurie at her blog.  When they are in stock you will see a paypal link in the side bar.

Ugliest Card Hop

Hi there friends!  Happy April Fool's Day!  Today Suzanne of The Card Yard has put together a little treat for all of us:
I went back a few years to find this jewel... Good God what was I thinking???

Here is the original post:  http://iamderby.blogspot.com/2008/09/hero-arts-meet-pti.html  You can see I am quite proud of my creation.  Nothing to ground the focal point.  Sentiment way too small.  Coloring odd and color choice of the bird is just strange.  Again what was I thinking?  I even water marked that hideous thing!
