Spring is in the Air Blog Hop

**Spring is in the Air**

May 11th - 18th



Hi there and welcome to my blog, I'm super excited to be participating in this hop as a member of the DT at sketches4all!!  This should be your 6th stop on the journey through the Spring is in the Air Blog Hop from sketches4all.  If not you should hop on over to Stacy's blog where all the fun begins.  If you arrived here after visiting Doris then you're in the right place and lets get down to business.  
We have a bunch of springtime inspiration and activities planned for you beginning with the blog hop where there will be a total of 12 stops, along the way you will be looking for 5 key words(items) to use on your layout which is inspired by the sketch below. Remember, DO NOT list the words any where along the way, email them to Fia at scrapmiep2@hotmail.com for a chance to win a $10.00 gift certificate to ScrappyJo store. You can just email the 5 words to Fia for a chance for the gift certificate or you can complete a layout inspired by this sketch including all the items but don't list them ;0)  for a chance to win..........

This is another layout that was inspired while participating in the blog hop, over at the cuttlebug spot they wanted bling and glitter, this was a little out of my norm, I don't usually do glittery blingy layouts but I've been looking for a chance to use this glittery butterfly lace and I think it worked pretty good with this Princess Michelle picture. lol thanks for looking and go check out the cuttlebug spot.

Here You Go!

As you all know, I've been doing the blog hop over at Practical Scrappers well, this is part of it. I was inspired to do this lo of my husband hand feeding the geese at the park by a Practical Scrappers sketch, check it out here practical scrappers sketches.
TFL!! I have a few more layouts to post from the other blogs that are participating in the hop.

Busy Week, looking for an apartment and a Blog Hop!

This week there is an awesome blog hop going on over at Practical Scrappers, you should check it out, there are several different ways to win great prizes and so many inspiring project ideas, I'm excited to get out of my box and try some cards, some poetry based scrapping and some other challenges, go check it out.

On top of the blog hop, the apartment we were scheduled to move into fell through so the hubby and I are going to be out looking for new ones and yes Audra we are going to try and stay a little closer to this side of town if we can find all the amenities we want and need for a reasonable price. Happy Scrapping All. Catch ya'll later.
