Stampin B's #59 - Horizonal w/ circles

Lois' challenge this week is to make a horizontal card with 3 circles.   I don't do horizontal cards, so this was a challenge for me. I was starting to stress so I just kind of cut paper and played with laying it out.  I was surprised with the end result, and happy to be honest. DH said it looked good - that works for me! All papers are from Mark's Finest Papers. I adore this blue~~Bang Up Blue Linen

I used stamps from 3 of the new releases coming out in June! Let me tell you, they are pretty darn awesome!! Watch for more sneak peeks over the next few weeks leading up to our blog hop! If you saw the last one, you know the potential for winning~ AWESOME!!  Just ask Geri, Rebekka or MaryAnne - ALL 3 + a couple of others hoppers won!!  [I was thrilled that 3 of my followers won~~ Congrats girls!!]

Come on over and play with the Stampin B's~ we love to see your entries - you may use ANY stamps you want.

This is it for me through the week end.  It's my birthday (no, I don't tell the age - suffice to say 39 and holding works for me- LOL) and DH and I are heading to Las Vegas.  [This is kinda scary since the 16 year old officially has his license~~ thank heaven he is pretty responsible!]  We are even going to a show!  That will be a first~~looking forward to our trip.  See you next week~~
