Sept. 24-25 School Blog Hop

Welcome to the School Blog Hop! You should have came from Amber's blog hop.  This is a two day blog hop in which we will feature different projects both days. I hope you enjoy as you are hopping along. There will be a grand prize winner drawn from those who comment on all of the blogs both days. The grand prizes are from Cloud9 who is giving away a $20 gift certificate to their store. And Jens DigiStamps who will be giving away a $5 gift certificate to their store which is worth five digistamps. I would appreciate if you could take the time to check out their sites if you have time as we are happy to have them as our sponsors.

Now, if you are just joining our hop, you may want to start at the beginning here.  

For my project, I made a really simple thank you card using BasicGrey's Oxford line.  I really love this paper!!!  To begin, I stamped an apple image using a stamp from Imaginisce.  I then added googly eyes.  I'm thinking I should have used bigger ones, though!  I cut out the apple and pop dotted onto a different sheet of pp (patterned paper) which resembles lined notebook paper.  I then inked the edges of that pp in a grungy sort of way since the background pp has a slightly grungy look to it.  I then pop-dotted that onto the base pp.  

Normally, I like to add ribbon to my cards but I kept this one simple.  I really like how it turned out even without the ribbon.  I keep telling myself that I don't HAVE TO put ribbon on every card and that I need to learn to scale back sometimes (less is more).  Thanks for looking!  Please go to Deborah's blog next.

Here is the complete lineup of today's blog shop.
