Lily Pad Cards Blog Hop!!!


 Hi everyone,
 
Welcome to stop #7 of the Lily Pad Cards blog hop (and your final stop for today)! You should be arriving here from the fabulous Kathy Racoosin's blog. If your arrival here did not involve hopping from lily pad to lily pad you'll want to start your hop at Lily Pad Cards blog. The blog hop starts today (Monday March 28th) and will feature seven blogs per day up until Friday, April 1, when the grand opening of Lily Pad Cards will take place! Lily Pad Cards is a new challenge blog that will feature interviews, articles, videos, challenges, great prizes, and more!

Although Lily Pad doesn’t officially bloom until April 1, 2011, you’ll be able to see a new sneak peek every day until then. You’ll definitely want to drop by because there are three HUGE prize packages! Go here for specific prize details and contest rules. 

The hop’s theme is "Welcome" because not only are we welcoming Lily Pad Cards to the neighborhood, but we’re also welcoming all of you to come in and join in all the fun.

As one of Lily Pad Cards' digital die cut DT members, I wanted to use one of Vicky's die cut images for the blog hop. The ladybug image I used can be found here. Here’s my card.


The next stop on the hop will be sweet Sherri Thompson's blog tomorrow morning at 9 AM EST. If you hit a bad link, you can always go to Lily Pad Cards and click on the next link in the hop. Please report any bad links to webmaster@inlinkz.com.

Edited to add: In celebration of the beginning of Lily Pad Cards (and also reaching my 100th follower) I'm going to add a little giveaway. Leave a comment here before midnight Friday April 1st and you'll be in the running (or hopping as the case may be) to win this colourful collection:

Hero Arts Sea, Foliage, & Sunshine Print Flowers; Floral Ribbon; Red Blossom gems; Clear Design: Fancy Friendship

As always, thanks for stopping by. :)
