Welcome to Sparkly Things Distract Me Blog Hop. What a better way to chase away those winter blues... I made a few projects for this hop... They are actually for some swaps I am a part of... I hope you enjoy your visit.

 I mad this sympathy card to send to my wonderful friend Chritel. One of her close friends father's was killed.. Such a terrible time for this young lady...
The svg files I used to make this card are from http://www.svgcuts.com/. It is the A2 All Occasions Cards SVG Collection.

 These tags are for a swap for Chrstel's blog http://www.scrappinsister.blogspot.com/ She has monthly swaps and we had to make Valentine Tags with a charm. I recently found the love of jewelry making. I made these cute butterflies.

Now what is a blog hop without some YUMMY candy...
