Welcome to February’s From the Heart Stamps blog hop. Today we want everyone to FEEL THE LOVE. We the designers are pulling out some of the FTHS images that make us “feel the love” and hope to inspire you along the way…
We have some “lovely” stuff for you on today’s hop; and for your part, you must leave some “love” at each stop along the way -Prizes are on the line!… One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win the image that the designer used [MEANING the winner here gets Happy Mail]. Additionally, one commenter on the From the Heart Stamps blog will be selected to win a $5 gift voucher to the store!
If you have arrived from LAURA’s Blog, you are in the right place; if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps blog so you don’t miss anything.
My card today is a Valentine for my little cutie in England – for some reason, every time I see an image with a mailbox on it, I think of my sweeties living in England waiting on Happy Mail from me 🙂 So apropos is the title of the image… Happy Mail
I punched out hearts with scrap paper, glued it to a piece of white cardstock, ran it through an I Love You embossing folder and now…do you feel the love?
