International Ambassadors – Laced with Love Blog Hop

International Ambassadors – Laced With Love Blog Hop

The International Ambassadors are blog hopping again!  We had so much fun with our last informal Blog Hop featuring the Victorian dies we thought we would like to inspire you all again - this time we are using the Laced with Love Dies - and you are going to love them!!   I hope you are getting to know us and and seeing our different styles - thank you so much for all of the lovely comments you left on my Blog - you made my day!

  If you came here from Christina's Blog - you are in the right place.

We have chosen to use dies from the Laced with Love collection – we thought these work beautifully to coincide with Valentine's weekend.  It is so much fun to create with them, as you will see as you stop by each Designer's Blog:
