Hi all. The card above is an extra and I'm having trouble with my links if I don't pop in a photo here. Easier than redoing the whole post. This was my submission in the 90 minute scramble on the Hero Club Blog.on Saturday, January 7, 2012. This wonderful new stamp House K5545 stamped on some patterned Christmas paper, sentiment from All the Time CL584 and some twine adhered to black cardstock makes a really quick card. Now on with the show!
You should have arrived here from the fabulous Lisa Carroll. Lisa is one of my favorites and I know you love her work.

I am thrilled to be included in this hop and can't say enough about Hero Arts. I've been using Hero Arts stamps since 1995 or so. Quality in every stamp and design.
I couldn't stop stamping with the Hero Arts Newspaper Skyline once I got some mojo going and found my black ink. My first card is done with no black ink, but touched up with a black Copic marker on the banner.
Hero Arts Newspaper Skyline S5573
Hero Arts Special Time CL579
Ranger Distress inks, Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap and Vintage Photo used on buildings and Broken China and Wild Honey on the sky and banner.
Glue Dots
Bent paper clip for a flag pole
I moved on to this little goodie. The rest of the sentiment from "Looking forward to spending time together" is stamped inside.
Some luscious 12" X 12" cardstock that I have no idea where I purchased it. This was a very simple card, using patterned paper. This stamps like a dream.
Only one more and it's a girly one with a clock.

The blue section was stamped with VersaMark ink and then I changed my mind about what I was going to do and rubbed Broken China distress ink over the stamped image of Watch Gears and it came out all mottled, which I rather liked. You can't tell, but I cut out the clock, the ringer is mounted on pop-dots and Glossy Accents makes this shine.
