February Blast from the Past Blog Hop

Are you here for the Blast from the Past Blog Hop today? Well, even if you have no idea what the Blast from the Past Blog Hop is, come on in, grab a cuppa, and get ready to be inspired by all of the creativity from our fabulous customers! And if you'd like to join us on the hop next month you can find all of the details at the end of this post! As always, the wonderful Sankari Wegman has given us a jump start with another fun sketch. It's optional for hop participants to use the sketch and once I again I started off with the best intentions of replicating the sketch. My card turned out a bit different, but I love it all the same. The theme for our February hop is Going Green so hopefully you'll catch glimpses of green and maybe even a few recycled embellishments as you hop around. Here's the green card I created!

ETA: OMGosh... I am the dork of the century! I just now realized that my card is not a Blast from the Past (and I set the very RULES for the Blast from the Past!). Could someone find my brain for me? I'm so glad all of our amazing participants can follow the rules that I can't. Thanks for doing as I say and not as I do!

I started off with the new Home Sweet Home Puffies by KI Memories. Really... how adorable are these!? I love all of the new Puffies! For the image panel I stamped the frame from New Beginnings in Rouge Chalk Ink and cut it out with the Frame it Up 1 die. Each of the Puffies is self-adhesive so I simply arranged them onto the frame and added some grass with Copics. The patterned paper is from the Welcome Home collection by Doodlebug and seemed to fit right in with the house embellishments. I used the 'congratulations' sentiment and banner from It's a Banner Day 1 and cut it out with the coordinating Banner Day 1 die. I finished it off with some clouds cut from the Cloud Duo die and the picket fence border. And you know I can't leave the bling alone so I added a frame of Crystal Twinkles with the help of my Embellie Gellie.

Thanks so much for stopping by for our Blast from the Past blog hop! I hope you'll click through the links below and check out what the rest of our hoppers have created! We'd love to have you join us for the blog hop next month too! You can find all the details here.
