Happy 5th Birthday Blog Hop!!!! Fred, She Said Celebrates~


Welcome to the Fred, She Said 5th Birthday Blog Hop!  We've been up and running 5 wonderful years!  The theme for this hop is Fred's FAVES  FLORAL and/or PURPLE!
If you have arrived from Nancy's blog, you are right on track.  Didn't she have the most fabulous creation?  If you are just happening by, you will want to start on the FSS Blog.

Collect a secret word on each blog along the way, leave us some love on our posts and follow the directions at the end of the hop for your chance to win this FABULOUS PRIZE!
One winner will receive ALL of this:
$25 Gift Certificate to the Fred She Said Store
$25 USD equivalent Gift Certificate to any online papercrafting store of winner's choice :)


The image I wanted to work with is one of Tracey's (aka Fred) newest digitals called Dogwood Branch and I've been anxious to make a Piano card, like I've been seeing on Pinterest!  I used the pre-colored flowers and the neat thing is that one of the sheets you get with that digital has two different sized branches.  That makes it so easy to layer!  On the inside, I used musical note paper with an additional Dogwood Branch.  I was so happy that I was able to do both the Floral AND the Purple!


Your secret word on my blog is TO
Your next stop on the hop is Crystal's blog.  I'm sure she will have a great design for you!
Winners will be selected on June 8th 2013 at 12:01 EST.

Fred She Said is also having a sale!
Have Fun & Good Luck!

A Day for Daisies is sponsoring "Going Dotty" at Southern Girls Challenge

Southern Girls Challenge is offering their next 2 weeks challenge with the help of Images from A Day for Daisies!   If you've never been to their great site You've missed out on some fantastic digis!  The one I chose to use was "H is for Happy Birthday" and I love the whimsical characters surrounding the letter H.  I can just see this being used on SEVERAL Birthday cards in the future!

The THEME for this challenge is "Going Dotty" so bring out all your papers with dots, spots, and combinations of the circle theme and join us!  Besides the image, the thing I liked the most about this card was the Template that I pinned from Pinterest for the paper bow--I tried it for the first time on this card and I just love the look of it!  The great thing is that the paper bow will compress down in order to mail it and stay relatively fluffy when opened by the lucky recipient!
Thanks for Looking and come and play with us! Carolyn
