FIRST EVER!!!

Welcome to Scrapbook Heaven's "Spring in my Step" blog hop!! Thanks so much for joining us! We are excited to be hosting our FIRST ever blog hop!

If you just happened by my blog and didn't realize a blog hop was taking place, please go back to Scrapbook Heaven  and start the Hop at the TOP so you won't miss a thing! Our members have some wonderful inspiration to share with you..... and also, some prizes :-)  If you are on track you should  have hopped here from Nelle's blog....wasn't that just YUMMMY!!!!

Our theme is "Spring in my Step". We'll be sharing a variety of Spring-y projects with you. Here is what I came up with.....

You can also view it in our gallery (you will get lost in there from alllll the awesome work!)

I had a blast creating this!  I've seen so many layouts lately with the little 'banner' type trim so I decided to give it a whirl.  I used all sorts of new and old goodness on here....everything from 7 Gypsies 97% Complete stickers, some Dream Street alphas, a little Hambly and the flowers I fussy cut from some old Imagination Project printed paper!  Oh and there is more.....and believe it or not, the BACKGROUND paper is from a Christmas collection!  And of course....don't forget the Prima flowers!  HA.....I just got lost in this creation and had a blast.  The picture is an old one too....my hubby and my now 13 yo dd many years ago swinging together...I actually scrapped this picture when I first started scrapping but love the picture so much, had a duplicate and just had to scrap it again!  Hope you enjoy! 



Now, as much as I LOVE to have you visiting my blog it is time to hop on to see the other awesome creations! 

Our blog hop run from today, April 17th until April 20th. Invite your friends to play along! We'll be drawing for prizes on Wednesday, the 21st. AND I'll draw for a little RAK if you leave me a comment!  :)  I like comments....LOL

Your next stop in our Hop is Lee's place.....and I'm on my way there too!  I KNOW her project will ROCK!  Have an awesome time and see you soon!  Come join us on our message boards!!!  We are always having fun over there and things are always HOPPIN!

Time marches on!

And we are already at the SECOND Monday for April!  How the heck did that happen?  AND it is the week of the 15th....guess I better get busy on the taxes!  HA! 

Yup...it is time for another Queen Kat Designs Monday Hop!  AND we are showcasing more of the releases for the month!  If you hopped here from Dark Ink Sorority you are right on track...if not, start back at the top so you won't miss a thing!  (Queen Kat Designs Blog) 

Here is the sketch we used for our inspiration this week: 

And here is my creation....

I used April's release called Sadie's Victory Stamp by Maigan Lynn. I used my Copics and Prima's to color her and then I fussy cut her out (my favorite thing to do....).  I used some older Basic Grey (because I wanted to use purples and I don't have many of those...hmmm.....)

Hope you enjoyed!  Now it is time to hop on to Penny's blog and she how she was inspired by the sketch!  Have a super week!
