Claudia and Company's 1st Customer Blog Hop!

Hello and Welcome to Claudia and Company's 1st ever Customer Blog Hop!   I'm truly humbled and blessed to be part of this amazing line-up of inspiring crafters and awed by the sheer talent of these lovely ladies!    Today Claudia and Company is celebrating all of US; their dear friends and customers and that includes YOU!  If you’ve just joined the fun, be sure to pop over to the Claudia and Company Blog  to start the hop and get all the deets and if you are hopping on the right track, you should have arrived from Margie's blog! 


Here's the card I made for the hop using the absolutely delightful Noah!  The second I saw him in the shop, I had to scoop him up - he reminds me so much of my own little son and his puppy, Buddy :)  In fact, he saw this nearly finished card on the table and said "is that me!?!" So cute!  I have quite a few pictures so this post will be a wee big long - thank you for peeking!  I decorated the inside as well since I realized after making it, I will keep it for my son and put it on his little bookshelf :)
