**Saturday Updates and Reminders**

Hi everyone!
I am waking up to a beautiful sunny day and I hope you are too.
I am here to remind you of our FBC 38: 3 or more Patterned Papers
The challenge is over on March 15th at midnight!
I created this card using the FBD Rubber Stamp:

Hot and Stylin'


I even masked off the lovely lady and decorated the envies to send her off with the cute hair dressers table!! :)
Remember the fun set I made for the release on March 1? I took those to my hairdresser yesterday. I always feel embarrassed giving personal gifts like that. Either she liked them or she was just extra nice. I really love her {Amy} she is super sweet and sassy and beautiful and one of those real nice people.Know what I mean? We chopped several inches off of my hair off too :/ lol!!! I was wanting something easier and sassier for the warmer months. Not sure if it was the best decision, I woke up this morning less in shock. I like it though :) I attached a small pic for you :D
Anyway ... on to more FBD things....
