Two down and three to go for the “Win a Day on the Hero Arts Blog” announcements! I’ve been looking forward to announcing my pick so I’m not going to waste another second.  Here we go…!

Congratulations to…

Susanne Nilsson!

Susanne is from across the pond in Sweden and has placed in several of our past contests.  She made MY heart sing with her upbeat cards.  They have a simple elegance that I just love! Not to mention some of my favorite color combos…browns, pinks and oranges…gotta love it!!

This stylish owl card featuring several of our new 2009 stamps immediately caught my eye. Susanne also used an alphabet to make her own words, which I love doing when I can’t find the appropriate message. The die cut border added a sweet touch too. It put a big smile on my face.

This is a softer look and also incorporates several of our new stamps. The scalloped edge adds a dainty touch. That French Writing is so versatile and I love how Susanne used it to create a subtle background.

WOW! This one is lovely with the bright orange and pink. The owl shimmers with his touches of glitter glue. And I love the embossed leaves.

This card uses two of her favorite stamps and they are two of my faves too. I love the tone on tone look of the clear embossing powder. Again, simple elegance. And ribbon!!

Susanne has shared lots of wonderful cards in our Flickr group and I could have shown you many more!! You can check it out for yourself HERE in her photostream.

I can’t wait to see what she comes up with for our day together.  I see some big fun ahead in working with Susanne. The first week of June will be here in no time.  Ready, set, play!!
