The hop will close at 12pm GMT on Monday May 2nd and the winner will be announced at 9am GMT on Tuesday, May 3rd.

Ok, ya ready for muh' card??? Here ya go!!! Shoooweee, I can smell the suntan lotion from here!! LOL!

Well, I figured livin' in Florida I HAD to use the beach bag and flip flops right? I mean, are there any other kinda shoes??? LOL! (Well, not here there ain't!) So, I decided to color my bag like a woven basket with glass handles and then using my Exacto knife, cut around the flip flops so I could slide this SAND designer paper behind them so they'd look as if they were kicked off in the sand. The rest of the image was cut with my circle Nestie and I sponged a little distress ink around the edges. The sentiment comes with the set and of course, one of the COOLEST things you can do with clear stamps is BEND them.... so I bent the sentiment to match the curve of the die.

What's that? Oh yeah, that AWESOME twill ribbon, YEP that's from Ladybug Crafts Ink too! Isn't it SUPER CUTE? Oh and wait, it doesn't stop there, she sells the FELT as well! Now I admit, I've been seein' this felt on several blogs lately but hadn't tried it myself..... WELL LET ME TELL YOU, this stuff is TOO MUCH FUN! SUPER EASY to cut too! I just ran it through my Cuttlebug and it cut just like BUTTAH! LOVE IT! MUST get MORE colors NOW! Eeeek!

Okee dokee, that'll do it for this hen today. Your next stop on the hop is AMANDA and you hens better hold tight to yer perch, cuz' she's gonna BLOW YOU AWAY! {{{hen hugs}}}
