Summertime Blog Hoppin with Fred, She Said!

It's summertime and a perfect time to spend time in the garden! I've spend the evening in a paper garden full of beautiful peonies from Tracey at Fred-She Said Digital Designs!

For this hop stop I'm using Tracey's Corner Peony, the pre-colored version. There are TEN delightfully pre-colored images. You can also color your own image, of course...but being just home from 2 days at CHA, I opted to go with the pre-colored versions! I cut the flowers out and popped them up on foam tape.

On the way home I stopped in at The Stamp Shoppe in Schofield, WI. This FUN Cuttlebug die followed me home! This is a Cuttlebug Embossing Plus die called Elegant Ellipse. It cuts, embosses and makes tiny prics all in one pass through the Big Shot machine! I fell in love...and if you keep an eye on my blog, you will see the other THREE that followed me home in posts soon!! I'm in LOVE!!

So, we're hopping!! The FSS Design Team has been busy creating and we have some lovely eye candy for you ! Please leave us some love as you wander along the bloggy trail. At each stop on your way, there will be a special word. Collect them up and there will be instructions at the end of your journey on how to enter. ...and enter you will want to do!!

The winning entry will receive $20 GC for the Fred She Said Store AND.... (AND!) ... a $20 USD Gift Certificate for CropStop so you can get that punch, or dies, inks, or embellishments you have been having you eye on :) We will receive entries until Thursday August 5th Midnight EDT.
