It's Hop Time!!!

Hey everyone and welcome to tonight's new release BLOG HOP!!! Tonight's hop started at Kim's blog, and if you are here now, you should have come from Julie's Blog.

The triple scoop set is one that you can't buy, you earn it for free with the purchase of 3 full sized sets (1 full size set is equal to two $9 sets). It will be available for purchase next month.

Here is a look at the inside, where I used a sentiment from the Clearly Sentimental about Gardening. LOVE IT!! I also used the Sun Die-namics from last month's release, finally....I'm slow to change, but I finally come around!! I wanted to add an extra layer to it, so my DP stood out, so I punched out a circle using one of my circle punches from SU. I can't wait to get my new Die-namics from this month though, wooohoooo!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! It's off to the next stop on the hop....JOANNE'S BLOG!!
