Thanks and Thanks!

The first "Thanks" is a card. Very simple and very easy. Actually, the one thing that took the longest for me to do was getting the bow to look right. This card is one of those "5 Minute Cards" that I did a tutorial on several posts ago, but instead of embossing the top portion, I embossed the bottom part. When it came time to heat emboss the sentiment, I messed up badly... so, what to do? Cover it up, of course! I should've learned by now that I should just stamp directly onto a separate piece of paper so I wouldn't feel so bad if I make a mistake. Besides, it looks so much better framed and lifted off the paper with dimensionals. After that, all I had to do was add a piece of ribbon and charm that I already had and the card is done. Oh, the sentiments are from SU!'s Heartfelt Thanks and Fundamental Phrases.

Thank You, Heather!
Oh my! My friend, Heather awarded me the Arte y Pico Award. You can read more about the origin of this award by clicking on the link below, but from what I read (most was in Spanish and my Spanish goes as far as "gracias" and "nachos"), this award originated in Uruguay. Well, here are the rules:
(1) Select 5 blogs that you feel deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.
(2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog.
(3) Each award winner (upon acceptance) should show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award.
(4) Link to the Arte y Pico blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
(5) Show these rules.

I wish I can add a few more, but here are the five that I would like to nominate for this award:

Jen of JenTapler Designs
Sankari of Sankari's Sunshine Corner
Becky of the lakeshore stamper
Lori of Inking Aloud
Melanie of Hands, Head and Heart

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
