Operation Nice Blog Hop with SWEETS...

When I saw Sarabeth's invitation on Facebook to join a Blog Hop called Operation Nice, I Knew I had to join! The #1 reason I started stamping was to "Be Nice," to send handmade cards to people who didn't expect them and to spread smiles!

If you just happened to stumble here make sure and click the banner above and start at the beginning, if you came from Claudia's blog you are on the right track! Don't forget, many of the Blog Hoppers are being Extra Nice and offering a little Candy! (See below for details on my Sweets!)


I decided to do a bit of a combo on my card, I had 3 things to do this week, make a card for this blog hop, make a Baby card for this week's Blogger's Challenge and I really wanted to make a baby card for a co-worker to send to her daughter...she LOVED a card I made recently with the Sheep Celebrations I set from Elzybells and not long after that found out her daughter was expecting a little girl, I knew right away I wanted to make her a card just like the one she loved.

I decided to not go with a traditional Pink card...mostly because I am SO in love with the new Cosmo Cricket Earth Love Collection! :)

I know this card will make my co-worker smile and her daughter as well...and it makes me feel great, because I Love being Nice!

Simple inside to leave lots of room for gushing over the new addition...

And now, to show you just How Nice I am....how would you like a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to Hope Stamps Eternal???? Well you can, just by leaving a message on this post before Sunday at 9 pm MT!!! Thats it...just leave a comment here...if you want to share the info go for it...follow the blog, sure if you want, but really all you have to do is leave a simple comment!

And now make sure to scoot over to Dawne's Blog and see how Nice she is!!!
