What a marvelous bunch of interesting new digis.  There are so many that I already have ideas on what I'm going to create using them.  I can't wait to get my hands on them and get started.  Earlier this week you got to see a sneak peek of the laces one.  I'll be showing you the full card for that sometime in the week ahead.

 Blog Hop

April 27^th & April 28^th

This is a 2 day hop so you have lots of time to visit each of the Design Team members and comment on their projects.  The hop will finish at 5:00 p.m. CET on Sunday afternoon.  For those of you living in EST zones like I am, that means that it will end at 11:00 a.m. EST.

If you've arrived here from Gry's blog then you are in the right place. If not, you can always start at San’s Design and hop from the very beginning.  Your next stop is Vicky's blog.

San is a wonderfully talented digital artist who creates the most amazing digital designs.  She also creates absolutely beautiful and unique cards too so if you haven’t had the opportunity to check out her work, you are missing out on a lot.  This weekend gives you the perfect opportunity to see many of the incredible new images in action as each DT member will be using a different one.  Just like the last hop, there will be a freebie up for grabs and San is once again giving away a whole set of this release to one lucky winner!!!!  A WHOLE SET for one truly fortunate person!!!  Talk about a phenomenal prize for spending just a little time with us!!!

Winner will be chosen

Here is the front of the card I am showcasing for the blog hop using the really sweet new balloon flight image...

Here is the inside of my card...

Here are the card details, I hope I haven't forgotten anything...

General Information:

• I've tried to keep this one clean and simple and followed a layout idea that I've seen Calypso, one of my fellow Scribbles Designs DT member use on a card.
• I apologize for the quality of the printing on the inside, our printer is running out of black ink and it fuzzed some of the lettering out a bit.  Strangely though, it seems to print one fuzzy line and then one good line, then back to fuzzy.  Things that make you say hmmm...

Digital Image:

• Balloon Flight (front):  The image on the front of the card is the wonderful new release Balloon Flight available now in the store.
• I coloured it in using Copic Markers.  Balloons: B00, B02, B05.  Heart:  YR000, YR00, YR02.  I fussy cut around it and actually cut the balloons off.  I took some charcoal coloured cross stitch thread and then wound it around the balloon to act like the strings.  I cut teeny-tiny strips of double sided tape to stick on the thread.  I've popped up the balloon on the left side to give it a bit of dimension.

Digital Sentiment:

• Inside:  The sentiment is one I have created to work perfectly with this great new image.

Paper Products:

• Card base:  Michael's Recollection's Cardstock, white. 
• Designer Papers:  Peach strip with balloons on the front is a digital paper courtesy of Jo over at Trimgym's Digi Stamps and Images.  I cropped it down to the size I needed then cut out the pennant (is that what they are called?).  Peach striped paper (inside)--Recollection's Bright and Basic paper pad. The solid peach paper used as a shadow in behind the sentiment is Michael's Recollection's Cardstock, Preppy Beach collection.

Embellishments:

• I used a button from our stash and used light peach cross stitch thread.

Challenges I hope to enter include:

• Crafter's Digital Art Centre --  Anything Goes 
• Word Art Wednesday -- Challenge #77:  Anything Goes
• Trimgym's Digistamps and Images -- April Challenge:  Anything Goes
• Creative Inspirations Paint -- Anything Goes

I'm sure I'll be adding to this list as the week or month goes on.

Note: I apologize if there are any formatting issues.  This is a scheduled post and we all know Blogger has a mind of it's own.  If it turns out that something looks wonky, i.e.--part of the sentence is a different size, font, or colour than the rest, I'll fix it as soon as I'm able to.
