3rd card in March 'Hip Hop Hooray'

Today, I'm very sleepy. But I hadn't made a card for the Hero Arts' weekly challenge, 'littlethings'. So I began to make it 3 hours before the limit. I uploaded the finished one to the flickr 2 minutes before the limit. (It was 17:00 in Japan)!
I have to make dinner from now on, but I'm still sleepy. And I don't want to make it.
What should I do???

This is the card.

I made this card using 'tiny tiny circle clear stamp has the heart-shape hole in the center' from the Clear Design 'Hugs N Heart ' on the 'Raindrop Background' stamp image,
and also using tiny 'Assorted Sequins' on the 'Pop Stems' image.
And the last, put 3 frogs from the 'Lilypad Greeting' set.

How I made the lower half, etc:
After stamped the Raindrop Background stamp with white dye ink, overstamped the tiny circle clear stamp has the heart-shape hole in the center with VersaMark and heat-embossed with clear embossing powder.
And then, I colored the place which a heart -shape hole in the circle with red and white crayon pencils. One is red colored heart, and the others are white.
Paper I used is 'Kraft'. I bought it at the HA Online shop the other day and I use this kraft paper at the first time.
Upper half Area, 'Hip Hop Hooray' was heat-embossed with black embossing powder.

RENEWing my website 'graphideart.com' now...

Renewing my web site is ongoing. Today I found the BLOGGER can be published in both English and Japanese! Encording is 'Unicode (UTF-8)'.
Wow! :) But why I didn't notice this earlier? I wrote all the posts in English only from last October. I'm going to add sentences in Japanese later.

2007年から事情により更新をストップしていた私のサイト 'graphideart.com'ですが、再開させる予定で昨年末よりサイトの構造を検討していたところ、本日お友達のBloggerを見て、発見！
Bloggerは、日本語と英語（他の言語でも）同時に公開できるのですね・・・。何故今までこの事に気づかなったのでしょう、私。
エンコーディングがUnicode (UTF-8)になっているではないですか！！！
なおこさん、私の発見のきっかけを作ってくれて、どうもありがとう♥♥♥

Happy event for me!

I was selected as the second place winner on the Hero Arts' weekly challenge, 'Win a Day Challenge', held on last week.
I knew this result on March 6th in here. This was an unbelievable incident, but happy event for me!

昨日の朝方に知ったのですが、先日エントリーしていたヒーロー・アーツのウィークリーチャレンジにて、2位を頂きました。
受賞カードは、3/1分に掲載していますグリーティングカード 'Totally Special'。
こちらのカード、私自身としては、色合いは好きなのですが、バランスの悪い箇所があるのが気になっていて、意外な結果に本当に驚きました。
でも、悲しい事が続いていた私にとっては、嬉しい出来事♪

※ブログツールを未だに上手く使いこなせませんが・・・(><。)
ダイレクトに移動できない箇所がある為に、アチコチ行ったり来たりしているうちに、"今、何をしようとしていたのか”を忘れてしまうお年頃？(^^;)
