Happy Birthday, Anita!

Hello, friends!  I'm here today as part of a "birthday card party" for the amazing Anita from My Papercraft World...well, it's actually "happy birthday plus one month!"  (Her special day was February 18th.)  The idea for the party was hatched by Bev from Happy Dance, and Darnell from djkardkreations offered to host it since she has "one of those inLinkz doohickeys."  So here we go!


If you haven't "met" Anita in blogland (or you haven't been to visit her in southwest France where she resides), then you REALLY must take a minute to visit her blog.  She writes with such wit and creativity...it's not unusual for her to make up a story about the characters in her cards...and her cards are always AMAZING!  I have been a blog fan and follower of Anita's for a long time, so I was thrilled to be able to participate in this "happy-birthday-plus-one-month" blog hop in her honor!


My card uses some "classic" Hero Arts stamps because I think Anita is classic in so many ways! 

All stamps by Hero Arts


Be sure to check out ALL the cards for Anita HERE, and you can even link up a card for her yourself if you are so inclined! 

Anita, thank you for all the kind and supportive comments you have left for me on my blog over the past few years.  I wish you a very happy birthday and a wonderful year ahead filled with health, happiness, and lots of crafty goodness!

Thanks for stopping by,
Judy
