LOTV Mini Hop!


Welcome to the Lili of the Valley Designers Mini Hop!!  By popular demand we have reverted to the original way of doing the hop - we are all going to use the same stamp again as we did with the first hop so you'll get various  different ideas on using the same stamp.  And today we are showcasing "Walk the plank" from the latest release from Lili of the Valley.

This month we are sponsored by The Ribbon Girl and Lili of the Valley, and as there are five DT members taking part this month all of our blogs will have a prize up for grabs!!





  All you have to do to join in the fun is leave a comment on the DT's blogs and we will draw a winner on Friday 19th May and announce the winners on our blogs, so do check back then to see if you are a winner.

The DT taking part in this mini hop are:

Fleur
Pops 
Dena (Me)
Anne
Bev

 I got a good laugh at this one when I first saw it.  Look at that cute pup being held over the food bowl hahaha!


I colored my image with distress ink refills and used paper from Hobby Lobby with the pirates all over.  The flags were cut with my cricut as well as the letters.  I used the Whimsy die cut - Notables 3 for the sentiment which was done on the computer.

Please have a visit at my teammates blogs and see what they did with "Walk The Plank".  This is a great way to get ideas if you have already purchased this stamp or plan on purchasing it soon.

I also wanted to show you a picture of the completed pool project for our backyard.  We love it and plan on having many swim days very soon.  We went from this (the pool people marked out the pool with string):

 

 To this:

Thank you for visiting my blog.  I hope you were inspired just a bit!

Big hugs, Dena

    The card is absolutely gorgeous, and I really love, that you guys have been soo focussed on boys cards here lately, as it has always been something most people have been strugling a bit about, but these stamps and all your wonderful ideas has been such a joy to follow, and I just love, what you´ve done here too. Any boy would love to get this card, no doubt.
    And that pool is just to die for too sooo wonderful. You´re sure to get many really gool hours spent here the next many years, that´s for sure, and it looks amazing. Thanks sooo much for sharing it.

    A pool like that, and you have time to make these adorable cards you do !!! Stunning pool - and listening to the wind howling here, makes me want to escape in to your photo.
    Out of my day dreaming, back to your card - love, love, love the colours on your little guy, your little flags, the paper, everything - love it. After going on this hop, wouldnt normally be prompted to buy little guy stamps - but seeing all these cards, makes me want to get some now :-)

    Oh My Word, girlie, im so jealous, just goes to show how differently we all live in the U.K compared to you lot over there, my yard isn't big enough to have a paddling pool, lol, let alone a gorgeous pool, if i win the lottery thats the first thing i want in my new house, as swimming is the only form of exercise i can do, and it would have to be in a poolhouse as our weather isn't warm enough even in summer we are lucky to get a few days of hot weather!!! LOL, im not kidding either! You must be over the moon with it though Dena, joking aside, its absolutely gorgeous....do have fun!! and your card is lovely as always, you know im one of your biggest fans, and i love the fact the dog is being made to walk the plank into his bowl, lol, so stinkin cute......i must also thankyou for your kind words after losing my brother last week, bless you my friend xxxxx Vick
