April Showers Blog Hop Day 2





April showers bring May flowers!  Welcome to day 2 of the Spring Blog Hop!  You should be arriving from Leah's Card Designs.  If you just happened to come across my blog and would like to start back at the beginning of the hop, please go to Kathryn's blog - Creations with Kathryn. 
Both the background patterned paper and the double sided paper used for the flower were DCWV. I cut the circles for the flower from the George Cricut cartridge at 2 1/2" each and then folded in the edges to create the petals, adding a little adhesive to hold them.  The button is from my stash and the stamped sentiment is from the My Creative Time Polka Dot Surprise stamp set. 



Blog candy today is some fun flower embellishments by Doodlebug, Making Memories and K&Company.



To be eligible for a chance to win the blog candy:
1. Please leave me a comment on this post.
2. Please become a follower of my blog if you aren't already.

You will have until tomorrow tonight Sunday, April 3, 2011 at 11:59 PM EST to enter. BLOG CANDY CLOSED AT 46 COMMENTS 4/3/11 11:59 PM EST. WINNER ANNOUNCED SOON. I will use Random org to draw the winners on Monday, April 4, 2011. Winner will have one week to contact me and claim their prize.

Your next stop on the hop is Jen!  Head on over to Jen's blog, Scrapping at the McCalley House and check out her project and leave her some blog love!
