HEARTFELT CREATIONS - MARCH 21, 2012

Good Morning!  It's another Heartfelt Creations' Wednesday and I have three more projects to share with you this week using the new My Guy Collection.  I really like this set because it is so versatile.  You can use it to make cards for your guys, your gals or just a western theme.  You can make your projects as elaborate or simple as you want with this set.  It is a really fun set to work with. 

Vote for your Favorite HC Designers: When HC announce a new design team call that also means that they have a tough time deciding which of the current designers continue on the HC design team. HC decided to do things a little differently this time and are giving you the opportunity to get involved and vote for 5 or more of your current favorite design team members. You can go to the Heartfelt Creations Blog to submit your vote. When you vote, you will also be entered into a drawing to be eligible to win a $50 HC Gift Certificate. You can only vote one time and you have to select 5 or more to be eligible to participate. Voting ends on April 13th, 2012.  So if you like the projects I create for Heartfelt Creation and would like me to continue on the Design Team, please vote!
