Swirly Spring Hop

Happy Friday everyone & Happy Weekend!  I'm still in warm Florida visiting with my friends and having an awesome time.  I tell you...the best ab workout is laughter...laugh till your sides hurt KWIM. Yeah both sides, my ribs and stomach hurt from laughing so much....just what the doctor ordered that's for sure :)  And yup I missed all the snow & ice...heehee...and have been wearing short sleeves everyday...lovin' it!

***********************************************************

Welcome to the "Friends of True's - Swirly Spring" BLOG HOP! 


If you are here from Bonnie'e blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened onto mine you will want to head back to True's blog where it all starts. There will be a prize package donated by Inky Antics that includes  True's entire, newly released, Swirly Spring stamp line seen HERE! 


This is my card using the new set "Swirly Sunshine & Flowers" ...such a cheery image and sentiment.  I chose equally cheery papers for a "sunshine effect"...they are a mix of PTI and scraps.  The swirls are a Magnolia Doohickey die, bow was done with a Bow Easy and some rhinestones finish it off.  I distressed all the papers with my Zutter Distress machine.



My image got colored with Shinhan TouchTwin markers (colors to come).  Then I added Stickles to the sun and flower centers for a fun sparkle.

That's it for me today...have fun hopping along!

Your next stop on the hop is at Joe's Blog HERE!

Here is a list of all of the links in case you get lost along the way.

Make sure to leave a comment on every stop, to increase your chances of winning the prize package. One lucky commenter from a randomly picked blog will win all 6 stamp sets! The winner will be announced on True's Blog on Monday, March 11th.
