ReplyDeleteLove your card. I also love hops and I am just begining the process. I love the House mouse challenges. Its to the point i wish they were in between challenges but thats too much to expect. I know i am getting a late start but better late than not. I wish i had the money i would purchase every stamp out there but not a millionaire so i settle for one every now and then. They are so cute. I haven't seen one that doesn't make me smile.
