It's a Hike...I Mean HOP!!

By now, you probably already know that TONIGHT is this month's release from My Favorite Things, and if you didn't...well, you do now!! Since it is release night, it's time for our new release blog hop!! Tonight's hop started at Kim's Blog, so be sure to head on over there to get started!!

For my card tonight, I am THRILLED to get to showcase my FAVORITE bear, Fred!! Fred Bear Takes a Hike is this month's new set featuring him, and sells for $9. I just love Fred...I truly do!! I know I just used this paper pack a few nights ago, but I couldn't stop myself!! It's just too perfect with his cute little bootie....do you SEE that SUPER CUTE snail??!! I started by stamping Fred on X-Press It Blending card, and then colored him with my Copics. I then layered him with Snow Cone, Jelly Bean Green, and Fossil. My paper is from the Basic Grey Archaic pack. I used the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics for my sentiment, and the super cute new You Move Me Die-namics for my clouds. My brads are from Michael's, my twine is Cappuccino(purchased from MFT), and my library clip is from SU. I followed this month's SFYTT, as well.


For the inside, I used another sentiment from the set, a few more clouds, and the Fresh Cut Grass Die-namics. I also stamped a cute little trail of footprints across the bottom...so fun!!


Well, that is it for me for tonight!! Next stop on the hop is the SUPER talented, and always FABULOUS, Barbara's Blog!! Have fun on your hike...I mean hop!!
