LRS Mar 29th Sensational Sunday Blog Hop

Happy Sunday and WELCOME to the Loves Rubberstamps weekly Sensational Sunday Blog Hop!

The Design Team has created some gorgeous projects for your Inspiration. Check out each link and leave a comment. If you get lost along the way, each stop will have a full list of links. One of the Design Team posts is the hop's Sensational Sunday Sweet Spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to be in a monthly drawing for a $20 Loves Rubberstamps Gift Voucher! We will draw the winner of the Voucher the 1st Sunday of each month from all the comments left on the design team blogs.

This started out as a simple tag, but as I was finishing up I saw some leftover banner pieces sitting on my desk and thought they would look good on the tag. I love how the colors blended together so nice and it amazes me how the tag looks better with, rather than without the banner. Isn't it fun when it works out that way?!!
