A Blog Named Hero + Paying It Forward

Hello, stampy folks.

I am excited to help celebrate the launch of a new website – A Blog Named Hero. This blog honors all things Hero Arts and will have fun challenges, prizes and card shares. This makes me so happy as I feel Hero Arts is one of the best companies in the industry – without a doubt. So this blog? Awesome idea. (BTW… the blog isn’t part of Hero Arts but rather was created by two sweet ladies – Mary Dawn and Linda – who are just fans of the company. Hero Arts is supporting them with prizes and such, though.)

They are kicking off the blog with a celebration week starting today. I am one of the featured folks, and here is a peek at my card…

To see the card in all it’s Distress-Inked-glory, head HERE. And please do head there today because two other ladies created STUNNING cards that are worth checking out. Wow. Oh, and I may or may not have hooked them up with some stamps to giveaway. Hint hint. :)

Be sure to add A Blog Named Hero to your Google Reader or subscribe. They have lots of fun things planned and great prizes.

Enjoy!


I recently found out about a fellow crafter who lost her home in a fire. Her friend, Kelly, is collecting cards and craft goodies to replenish her supplies and bring a smile to her face. If you are interested in helping out, please head HERE. I have my box of stamps ready to ship – I can’t imagine losing so much.

Thanks… see you tomorrow. :)

    Couldn’t leave a comment at the new Hero Arts blog as I don’t have a google account.

    I’m going visiting to the places you suggested in just a minute. How awful to lose a home to a fire – or to anything, actually.

  23. Posted March 27, 2012 at 8:50 am | Permalink

    Very cool idea…thanks for the link! So sad about the fire…I’ll definitely try to send her something…

    Thanks so much for your kindness and caring ways !! I packed up a box of goodies and shipped it off yesterday to Kelly for Angie! I also can NOT imagine losing everything I own in a fire. I’m so thankful that she and her boys were safe from harm.

    I’m very happy to see that the crafting community is coming together to help support a friend! It’s a main reason, WHY I loving this whole craft world so much, the people are awesome!

    PS: I am also a member of the new Hero Group and think it’ll be a great site, your card was wonderful !! :)
