Happy Anniversary Pink by Design

Hi Everyone!

I hope you have been enjoying the hourly posts! I know I have. I want to take a minute to Say Happy Anniversary to Sarah & Kyle! I am happy to say that I have loved being with you guys since the beginning... It has been truly been great seeing you grow as a company. I hope to continue on this Journey with you! I also want to thank you for opening up your hearts and your home to me. I have really enjoyed this weekend in Iowa. I all of a sudden have this new found love for corn... Meriah look its corn! Hahahaha!

So here is a Thank you card that I made using the Distressed Music Background Stamp & the circle label set!



I had so much fun this weekend! I wish you could have all been here!

Happy Crafting!
