A CASE of Love

Exciting times for the Bacon Bits here at the Hambo Hoedown!!

This is Bacon Bit, Juliana, here, with a card for you!
Sunday, our very own Jeannie was named "Featured Stamper #287" over on SplitCoastStampers!

For the Featured Stamper Challenge stampers pick a card from the featured stamper's gallery to CASE (copy and steal everything).  I have chosen the super cute card: Sending All My Love.
Her card uses the super sweet: Heart-Basket from Hambo.

I kept the "love" theme, and the layout.
I used animal heart from Hambo Stamps.

I am so blessed to have a Jeannie Made flower in my stash that was perfect for this card! (yeah, she can crochet, too!)

Hip! Hip! Hooray! for Jeannie!!!
