SSD Anniversary Blog Hop

Happy Saturday friends. We are having an anniversary release at SSD, in honor of SSD' s  anniversary and Lindsay's own anniversary. If you hopped here from Kim's blog you are in the right spot. Lindsay has re-done four of our fave retired sassys. I had the pleasure of using the new bubble bath sassy for my creation. We had to select an anniversary year and make a card that corresponds with the gifts for that year. I'll give you a few clues. This year is my anniversary year, and I went with the modern gifts.  Leave a comment as you hop, guessing the year and you could win this image. Check out the SSD blog for all the hop details. Now hope on over to Karal's blog and see what she has created!
