We are so excited to participate in our first official Simple Stories Facebook Fan Blog Hop! How did we come up with this idea you might ask??? We love our fans and we wanted to find a way to include them in more of what we do. So...we asked them to be available for a special announcement and gave them a time and the first 7 fans to respond were invited to join us. How fun is that?
Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and I thought it would be fun to use the Simple Stories Generations collection to make a card for the holiday. The bingo cards are so fun to add to a project and usually they come in 4 x 6 sizes, but I cut this one out of the 6x6 patterned papers to get the 2 x 3 card instead, which was a perfect center for my large paper banner.
Sometimes all you need is a bit of velvet twine and a good looking button to make an interesting element on a card. Pop dots elevate the heart cardstock sticker that matches the tiny one in the center of the bingo card.
There is also a VERY exciting announcement over on the Simple Stories Blog. I know many of you have been wondering when we would do a Design Team Call and now is the time! We are looking to expand our little design team with more people who love Simple Stories as much as we do. Be sure to hop back to the Simple Stories blog for all the information!
If you are just arriving and would like to hop along our Facebook Fan Blog Hop Trail, here is the order of the hop. We know the hop is a little long, but please leave a comment for all of our fans, they have a little challenge going on with the comments and there will be prize possibilities for those who leave a little love.
