Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit Blog Hop!
If you've been hopping along, you should be arriving from the wonderful Vicky Papaioannou's blog. If this happens to be your first stop you'll want to start at the Simon Says Stamp Blog.
What can I say? August's card kit ROCKS! Bold colors, fabulous stamps, yummy papers, fun flair, a burlap flower, twine...and something brand new that excites me most of all ---> a STENCIL!!!
