Skipping Stones Design Blog Hop!

Good morning!! It's National Scrapbooking Day and while I don't do much scrapbooking these days I was super excited and honored when Skipping Stones Design asked if I would join them for a National Scrapbooking Day Blog Hop which includes some of their past and current FABULOUS designers.

If you just happened to stubble upon my blog today, your smack dab in the middle of this hop, start at the Skipping Stones Design Blog for the entire hop list. If you just arrived from Ashley Cannon Newell's blog, then you are right place!!  Hop along and see all the fabulous Scrapbook pages  made with Skipping Stones Design stamps!  I promise you will like what you see!!

I used 2 different SSD sets for my page today.  My oldest had a slumber party a few weeks ago for her 9th birthday so Chick Chat was perfect!!  I also paired it up with Pumpkin Seed Sentiments - I just love how it perfectly matched the patterned paper I chose to use (which is Echo Park's Summertime collection that I bought from i {heart} papers)!!


Here's a detail show of the pennant.  I stamped each one in a different color with one of the images from Pumpkin Seed Sentiments.


And then the cute little chicks!




Thanks for visiting today.  Leave a comment on each blog (some are giving away prizes) and when you have finished, go back to the beginning at Skipping Stones Design and leave a comment, telling them what you thought of the hop.  One lucky commenter will be chosen Wednesday, May 11th to win the Skipping Stones Design May release stamp set!!!

Keep hopping along, run off too Barb Turpin's blog!!   Happy Hopping!!

Adorable layout Julie! Chick chat is perfect for this card and I have to add Pumpkin seed sentiments to my collection someday. If you didn't already, you might want to post this on Echo Park's Facebook page - they pick one random poster every Friday to highlight on the EP Blog and they win the EP collection of their choice, just sayin'... ;)
