Welcome to a SMASH*ing Hop hosted by Krista from Saturated Canary and Kellie from Freckles & Pigtails. We are joined by some talented SMASH*ers and we have so many amazing sponsors and prizes, that we are all so excited. This has been in the making for about a month or so and it's been hard not to burst.
Saturated Canary is giving away a $25 voucher for her NEW store [when up and running VERY soon]. How amazing is that and is sure to get you a few images to add to your collection or start. Freckled & Pigtails is giving away also a $25 voucher. [Due to being ill store update was moved back]. With so many NEW and exciting things coming to store that can be used for many forms of crafts, scrapbooking, cardmaking, SMASH*ing and so much more a little something for everyone.
Freckles & Pigtails is also giving away one NEW stamp set "Boy [Hearts] Girl" on all the girls in the hop. YUP that is a total of 8 chances to win yourself a new little stamp set...
Blue Bazaar a online store in Australia that also ships international is giving all you hoppers a 15% OFF in their store by using the code BB-BLOG. How amazing is that, and you have till the 31st of May to use it. I know I will be!
I also wanted to give away a little prize so I'm going to be choosing one winner at random to to win a copy of the April / May issue of Designed To Color!! These magazines are just now going to be available in print and you can win a copy of your very own - just leave me a comment here to be entered!
I'm so excited to be starting you off on this fabulous hop - I really can't wait for it to go live so I can see what everyone made! I used LOTS of fabulous handmade goodies from Freckles & Pigtails as well as a GORGEOUS image from Saturated Canary that I printed at 5.5 inches and LOVED coloring it blown up like that. I always loved the way krista added these cute little bows to her girls so I found some recently and just HAD to pick up a pack so I finally used it on this page.
The doily is an awesome vintage pattern available at Freckles & Pigtails as well as the girl sentiment is a clear stamp also available there. I love the funky font.
Here is the Saturated Canary digital stamp a bit closer. I just really wanted her to be the center focus of this page. I printed her on cryogen cardstock and colored her with Copics. If you know me, you know I'm a BIT obssessed with the color teal and have a strip of it in my own hair. I normally color stamps to be used on cards and such to giveaway or sell but this image I colored JUST.FOR.ME. and LOVED it!
Here is a close up of the gorgeous yo-yo's and flat backed buttons available at Freckles & Pigtails. I love layering them together. They come in so many fun and gorgeous patterns!
The tag and girl icon stamp is also from Freckles & Pigtails - this store has so many fabulous embelishments for perfect for smashing, card making, scrapbooking and more! I'm also using my stamps more and more in my smash books. I love coloring something that I know I get to keep!

I have been making a lot of cards with Krista's stamps lately and each one has been so hard for me to give away. lol... I think they are all so pretty and I think you have done a great job on this one. Hummmm I'm thinking I need to purchase a few more of her stamps. lol... Hope your week is going great so far this week. Hugs Lisa G
