Goodbye Summer..Hello Fall Blog Hop!!!!



Welcome to the "Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!" Blog Hop, hosted by a talented group of ladies from Club Ck ( http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/articles/Club_CK_Info).
If you did not arrive here from Janice's Blog http://janicenovkam.typepad.com/ , please go the the beginning of the hop at Virtually Froggy http://froggy530.blogspot.com/ and follow the blog hop order. By following the blog hop from beginning to end you will collect words to a secret phrase which will make you eligible for the grand prize!!! The details for the grand-prize entry are posted at the start of the blog hop. You won't want to miss it! My project for this blog hop is a couple of cards that I made for my two nephews that both are starting their football season. They both live in another state so I'm not able to go to any of their games..which is a bummer since they are both playing on the same team. One is the quarterback and one is a wide receiver, so to let them know I will be cheering from them from faaaaarrrr away I made them these cards. The first card was made by using my Cricut Expression and The Gypsy. I made the B and the S the same size and made the H a little larger. This was done for both cards. I welded the layer on top using the Gypsy and left the shadow unwelded for simplicity. I used on the white card my argyle embossing folder using the Cuttlebug for texture and made the paw by using ovals and sizing them accordingly. For both cards I used the Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge I love how "preppy" that cart is. On the inside (not shown) I cut out Good Luck and used a football rub on to finish it off. I hope you enjoy my cards....The words you are getting from me are "A Fallen" for the next word you can visit Jennifer's blog at http://scrappingreilly.blogspot.com/ Good Luck!!!!!
