The theme of this week’s celebration is

Today we have three truly wonderful ladies guest designing for us–we’re so thrilled and honoured they are a part of our celebration!

First up is the incredible Jennifer McGuire!

WOW Such a great card–that blue is so lovely and the Eiffel Tower popped up on dimensionals brings just the right about of interest to quite a simple card.

Next we have the delightful Danielle Walls!

This is so elegant and pretty! We just love those flowers–perfect colour choice 🙂

Thirdly, the sweet, wonderful Virginia Lu!

The perfect Virginia-style card! Clean, simple, fun, bright! We love how she used the scalloped circle stamp around the new Bold Pop flowers diecut stamp! Just so fun.

Welcome!

We are so very excited to be officially welcoming A Blog Named Hero into the world!

This coming week we have *the* most amazing selection of crafters lined up for you. (We are seriously fangirling here–yes, that’s a verb).

As you know, this blog is ALL about the Hero Arts love, so we thought the best way to start would be to choose (and use) our favorite Hero Arts products!! No matter whether they’re new or old, if it’s your favorite, then it’s the one we want to see!

All of our guest designers have chosen their most loved Hero Arts product/s and have used them on a project that they will be sharing with you RIGHT HERE!

Every day this week (March 26th-30th) we will have THREE guest designers appearing on ABNH (as well as us). THAT’S FIFTEEN GUEST DESIGNERS!!

At the end of this huge week of celebration, will be our first challenge! April 1st–put it in your calendars!

Be sure to come back tomorrow when the celebration begins and don’t forget to comment here on the blog, as well as leaving us some Twitter or Facebook love *cough* therewillberandomgiveaways *cough*

See you tomorrow wtih party hats on!
