Spreading Love Theme!
Welcome and Hello to our February Control Freaks February Blog Hop. We are all about spreading love this month. If you arrived here after visiting with my talented teammate Wendy Weixler, I will direct you to the next person at the bottom of my post.
I used the Lucky Clover Bundle from the Mini Catalog and unfortunately, this bundle sold out in a matter of weeks because it was so popular. You can still purchase the stamp set but the punch is no longer available. I thought the sentiment was perfect to use for our theme:
The detail on the clover image is just beautiful. Simple but beautiful. I combined some layers of Design A Daydream Designer Paper with some pretty ribbon and embellishments:

Thank you so much for visiting with me today. I will now lead you over to visit with my artistic teammate Cindy Elam by clicking here:
The Parakeet Party ribbon is a surprisingly perfect co-color and love that you used the Faux Seaglass Shapes for the embellishment for a card that’s not ocean related!
Thank you Maggy!
