Lily Pad Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY

Hi Everyone! Today I'm very excited to help welcome a new exciting blog called Lily Pad Cards. There are some sweet and super fun people working behind the scences to make it one of the best places to get inspired, be challenged and have fun! Oh, and don't miss my giveaway detailed on the bottom of this post!
The blog officially opens tomorrow (April 1st) but there are some fun sneak peaks over there right now and they have some HUGE prizes to give away that retail over $800!!! Wow! What are you waiting for? Check it out HERE.


I made my card using Penny Black's adorable Fly with Me cling stamp. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Night Night Moon set. I colored the cat with Distress Inks (same technique as HERE) and paper pieced his kite. Patterened papers are from My Mind's Eye Good Day Sunshine collection.

Thanks for hopping to my blog today! The next stop on the hop is Lin Brandyberry's blog Hearts, Hugs and Flowers. If you hit a bad link, you can always go to Lily Pad Cards and click on the next link in the hop. Please report any bad links to aris@inlinkz.com.

*GIVEAWAY*
I am giving away Penny Black's Fly with Me cling stamp (same stamp that I used on this card). I'll be sure to throw in a few extra goodies too. :) To be eligible, please leave a comment on this blog post AND make sure you sign up to follow my blog. I will choose a winner Sunday April 3rd.

Then I backed my window with some cloud patterned paper for my outside sky. Next I stamped and die cut the cats from Purrfect Pair. I have had SO much fun with these cats.
