VC Rocks! June Blog Hop

Hello Everyone and welcome to VC Rocks! June Blog Hop.  There are 31 wonderful stops in this weekends hop, so get you a cup of coffee, a bit of chocolate, and get ready to see some awesome artwork from our talented Rockers.

VC Rocks is a group of fun ladies that get together each summer to celebrate Stampin' Up!  We have loads
of challenges, swaps, games, classes, a virtual hotel, and we develop friendships with some of the nicest people you will ever meet.  Membership is closed for this year, but keep an eye on our VC Rocks! blog for
our grand opening in Spring 2013.  Now on to our hop.  The home stop is Here at the VC blog, so if you
get lost, that's where you can be found again, lol.

 You may have come here by way of Janice's blog, Stamping With Janice, I know she had something awesome to share with you today.

My share for today is the card I made for my hubby for Father's Day.  My hubby loves anything with
horsepower, including horses, thus this card:



I used the Out West and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets, now retired.  Crumb Cake, Basic Black and Very Vanilla Card Stocks.  Crumb Cake, Riding Hood Red, More Mustard, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy and Chocolate Chip Markers with a Blender Pen. Houndstooth and Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folders, Corner and Square Punches, Hemp Twine and Silver Mini Brads.

I'm hoping he will like it, It was a lot of fun to make.  Love the Spotlighting Technique.  Haven't used it in
quite some time.

Thanks so much for hopping with us today!  Your next stop is going to be Mary's blog, Mimi to Jett.  She will definitely Wow you!
