Creative Escape

Woohoo!!!!
Check out these goodies. It appears I entered a Bazzill Basics Basket Giveaway from All Americn Crafts Publishing and I won!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it, I've never won anything like this before. It was like Christmas morning opening all the packages. I received complete class kits for all the classes taught at CE. There was even an album in a box, a really cool CE green bag as their logo on a bottle of water!!! I can't even begin to tell you there is stuff from Heidi Swapp, Bazzill, Ranger, Tim Holtz and more.





I am still in shock and all I can say is THANK YOU!!!! I am going to have so much fun with my new goodies.

I loved the oranges and yellows and the fireplace aura so I created this card with the new Bon Voyage stamp set. I just love the hot air balloons!!!! I stamped them 3 times, colored in one with Copic Spica pens (love the sparkle), then cut it out and used pop dots to make it stand out.
