Determined

Having a great weekend pondering how to get more involved in the papercrafting community!  Gaining the courage to enter more challenges, I thought about entering A Blog Named Hero Challenge #17 A New Year, New You.  This was a PERFECT challenge for me since I am definitely new to the blogging world and received a lot of fabulous new stamps from my amazingly supportive hubby!

I got this amazing new Hero Arts Conversation Background stamp for Christmas and had to use it for this challenge.  I am normally very intimidated by such large stamps, but had so many ideas running through my head.

I decided that since this is my first try using such a large stamp I'd go simple with black ink and used some older sentiment stamps from Hero Arts.  I wanted the main word bubble to pop so I used my craft knife to cut it out and stamped celebrate in rainbow ink and added glitter!  Any comments are greatly appreciated!
