Heartfelt Creations Inspiration Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

Time for a new creation using HC's beautiful stamps and dies!

This week I made a wall hanging for my project.  I think this would make a nice gift for someone, actually I want to make one for myself...something I never seem to do!  I saw these chipboard signs at Target in the $1 bin and knew they would be great for altering.  I just covered them with paper, embellished it, and added ribbon to hang it.

Here's the way it looks with the ribbon. Sorry, the picture isn't the best...

Please visit the HC Blog to see all the other gorgeous creations from the Design Team!  What a talented group of ladies!

I'm submitting this to the Word Art Wednesday Challenge #34.
Blessings!
