I couldn't be in today's hop because I have so much on my plate. We are in the process of buying a house and packing. Also, my die cutting machine decided to die this week. R.I.P.

I am soldering on though and having my great blog friend, Her Craftiness -  Lynne, as my guest designer today. She has a cute Cinco De Mayo card to share with you.
