VC Rocks Blog Hop...Any Size Card

It is that time again...where does all the time go....what has been going on with me...2 1/2 weeks ago, I broke my first bone in my body...my right thumb...makes card making a bit hard....I broke the tip of the thumb biking, no, no motorbiking, just petal biking with the nephew.....So less card making, did finish up my swaps I was in the middle of but somethings are hard for me...big shot and punching out stuff with the punches are the hardest ...well plus cutting with scissors. 

Most likely you came from Eileen's blog, Stampin' Fevre...she does wonderful work or from the main site for VC Rocks a fun group that is only active thru the summer time........

This card I made for a new member of VC Rocks and I just love this new stamp set...I had planned on doing more with it but even putting stamp sets together is a bit hard right now...anyone want to come help...but check this out.....

Card is made with the new In Colors, new stamp set, new mini brads...man these are small, and the new ribbon.  All the new catty stuff are great and it gets even greater next month.....as we can preorder for the nw holiday catty....

The next stop on this blog hop is Karen's blog, Krafting with Karen  ... she does wonderful stuff too...loved that post a few days ago of the tags......and of course if you should find links not working, you can go back to the main site for VC Rocks for the whole line up...I try to post them all, but today we had a family issue and I just don't have the time to do the links, sorry...

As always if I can be of any help....just let me know....I am a SU demo but more than anything, I just love to stamp.........
