WMS Blog Hop



Happy St Patrick's Day! I'm happy to be participating in the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Hop today. Since Claire lives in N Ireland, it is so fitting for her to host this themed hop! She also provided some absolutely gorgeous downloadable stamps and graphics, for free!! Find them on her blog .

Here is my card, which I sent to Joyce for our St Patrick's Day card swap. It's hard to tell in this photo, but I used the lace image from Faux Fun in the background.



Thanks for coming by!
Melissa
