BLD Red, White and Blue Blog Hop


First, I want to say Happy Dominion Day to all my Canadian Homies!! It is a glorious day and at my house, we are celebrating by starting off the day with Raspberry French Toast and bacon - d'lish! Then, we'll just have to see where the day leads us. ;)

Today, the By Lori Designs Team is having a blog hop featuring the new Summer Lollipop image release.

If you have come from Frances's blog, you are on the right track. If not, I would encourage you to grab your favourite cuppa and go to the beginning of the hop at Tracy's blog. Enjoy!


I think this new Lollipop Independence Julie is a sweet image. I cut her out using a rectangle nestabilities die, avoiding cutting the flag off. I used some super vintage MME paper - C'est La Vie - and I think it's perfect for this challenge.


Copics;

skin; E000, E00, E11
hair & shoes; E71, E74, E77
dress, flag & bow; B21, R37, R39, R59, W00, W1, W3

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. Contest closes on Sunday, July 3rd.

Your next stop on the hop is CYNDI now, go and hop like a bunny to the next stop and enjoy!
