This month I got the honor to be a guest designer for the Forever Friends Challenge blog.

It's bingo time! Here is the bingo grid for the October challenge:

Ribbon	Pink	Gems
Glitter	Buttons	Hearts
Tag	Lace	Blue

 
I made a tag with in it a card with one of the lovely stamps from Forever Friends.

The heart I have embossed with some glitter to make it pop-out a bit.
