Happy Blogiversary Melisa!!

Hi everyone. Today I'm hopping for my friend Melisa Alzammar from Melisa's Crafty Creations. If you're following along, you should have arrived from Anna's blog. If you just happened to land on my blog, I invite you to hop along with us.

Melisa is one of the sweetest designers I have had the pleasure of knowing. We first met when we designed for Joys Life. As fate would have it, we got to design together again at Pink by Design, where we still get to make fun stuff. Our friendship has grown since then. Not only do we share a passion for paper crafts, but we are both mother's of young children. We often find ourselves encouraging one another to "hang in there" when our kids have tried our patience. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her face to face yet, but I would love the chance to see her in person. I know we would hit it off. So when Melisa asked me to be a part of the hop, it was a no brainer. Yes, of course!! I am honored!

Here is a fun little creation I made for her Halloween/Fall theme. The leaves and pumpkin are from the Silhouette store. I used Stampendous embossing powder in Pirate Gold to edge the pumpkin and leaves. It's almost like a gold leafing effect.

Your next stop is Barb. I've included the entire lineup below. Do leave comments on everyone's blog. I know some designers are giving away great prizes. You won't want to miss out on your chance to win!
