Spring Blog Hop - Fred She Said!

Welcome to the Fred, She Said Spring blog hop! If you are here from Marlena's blog, you are in the right spot! If not, you will want to start at the beginning of the hop and collect the words along the way....the last stop of the hop will tell you where to email the phrase for a chance to win a fantastic prize! Please be sure to leave some love along the way....we love to hear from you!!

Prize information:
ONE winner of $25 FSS GC, $25 CropStop GC and 2 Digi Paper Sets from Bearly Mine Designs,
who is co-sponsoring our blog hop this month.

My card features a new spring image called Easter Chicky. I chose one of the pre-colored images for my card.

I used a Creatables die to frame my image, which I popped up on foam tape over a SU! embossing folder embossed panel.

I loved the crispness of this image...so pristine and pretty. I chose a simple yet clean embellishment....a pleated ribbon border with vertical stripe grosgrain yellow ribbon from ReasonableRibbon.com.

I also made a clean and simple masculine card featuring another of Tracey-Lynn's fabulous pre-colored images, The Old Truck.

I chose the truck in brown and paired it up with some designer paper I had on hand. I chose to go with silver accents in the star brads, nailheads and metal stickers. A touch of faux stitching finishes this card.

I hope your stop here has inspired you! The word you are collecting from me is SAID. Your next stop is the last stop on this hop....the FSS Challenge Blog. Be sure to follow the directions there to be eligible for the fantastic prize being offered!! Good Luck!!
