The Scrappy Chick

Its Blog Hop time at by LORi Designs! If you arrived here from the fabulously talented Loretta then you are right on track! If not, then head over to the terrific Tracy's blog for the start of this Hot Summer Hop!

For my card today I used Firecracker Finn, one of the fabulously adorable Lollipops available in the Lollipop store right now!! I added a top hat to Finn by cutting a piece of Best Creation patterned paper and adhering him on top of Finn’s head.

This is my first shot at a Side step card…not too hard if you can score straight, LOL! Here’s another view at it:

And here’s a close up of Finn. The rest of my papers are all from Best Creations’ new Patriotic line as well except for the turquoise print by LYB. The color inspiration came from BLD teammate Arielle’s ColourQ Challenge last week…I loved the Red, white, and Blue with the turquoise!

My little star on the ribbon bundle is another cut out from the BC paper, as are the cute pennants on the top panel. Anywhere that I didn’t have the pre-glittered and embossed effect I added some Stampendous! Clear Multi glitter with a Glaze pen to mimic the effect!

OH, and, what fun would a New Release Hop be without some prizes?? There will be 2 $5 Gift Certificates given away to 2 randomly drawn hoppers. You must leave a comment at each blog for a chance to win!

Here's the whole little bundle of Summer cuties:
