Sneak Peeks at AnnaBelle Stamps

Happy Friday Peeps!

Long time no blog! I have good reason for my absence – I have been sick! I am still not 100% and it is dragging into its third week, but this winter’s flu got me good and proper. But I think I am FINALLY on the mend, but no crafting has been done until yesterday.

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps the Belles are teasing you with sneak peeks of some stamps that will be released into the store very soon. Make sure you visit all the Belles blogs to check out their awesome creations.

Last week I didn’t play along, but TWO news Belles were introduced to the AnnaBelle DT. Please stop by Tobi and Marcia’s blog to welcome them – even if it is a week late! Welcome ladies. I can’t wait to see what you guys create each week.

My card this week was inspired by Cristina Kowalczyk. I loved this card of hers and pinned it immediately – that girl comes up with the MOST clever ideas sometimes. Here is my humble version of hers.
