Fiskafriends - The Power of Community Blog Hop - Day 2

This hop is open to everyone! International visitors are included for a chance of winning the Grand Prize!


Welcome! If you came from Jean Bullock's blog then you are in the right place. 
If not, please go to the beginning at the Fiskafriends Blog.

March 27th-29th, we are celebrating our First Anniversary with a Fiskafriend Blog Hop. You do not have to be a Fiskafriend to visit and comment on our bloggers' posts. In addition to the Grand Prize, some of the blogs are offering prizes too but be sure to read each blog's rules and requirements as some may not provide international mailing.



Day 2

Continuing on with Birthday Cards which I never seem to have enough of, I wanted to share the one I made on Tuesday. 



(I used Stampin' Up products.)


Note:
1. Even a couple of the same item (balloons) can be used together.
2. One word repeatedly stamped works for a different effect.
3. If you repeat that word elsewhere, stamp off first (when you ink your stamp, stamp it on scrap     paper first then use it to stamp on your card) so it is lighter, it won't take away from the card and will fill that 'white' area giving it a more 'finished' look.
4. Instead of cutting your card to size, cut it 1/4" narrow so your embellishments can hang over the sides and your card will still fit in the standard envelope. 


What's a blog hop without a blog prize? I have a Your Story Photo that I will be giving away. (US Only but those international skip to "*"). You may be wondering what is it. The best way to explain it is just have you watch this on YouTube. (I don't know her but she shows what it is and how to use it the best.)




Hint: When you run out of covers, you can make your own. To see how watch this YouTube Video.
(I do not know her, nor promoting her. I just found she explains it best as I don't make videos).

*Just leave one comment on this post including International Visitors so you go into the drawing for the Grand Prize which is open Internationally. Those of you in the US, your comment will enter you in my giveaway drawing automatically. (You do not have to follow my blog but I would love it if you did.)

Remember to come back tomorrow for Day 3 and your final chance to be entered.

How it works:

I will be closing comments for my give-a-way each day at 9:00PM EST (with the arrival of the new post) and use 'Randy' (Random Generator) to pull one name from today's comments. You still can leave comments after 9, you just won't be included in that day's pick for my drawing. (However, you will  still be entered for the Grand Prize drawing.)  I will be doing the same for the tomorrow's post also. At the end of the hop, these semi-finalist names will then be put in (so there will be three of you, one from each day) and again Randy will pick one of you as the Final Winner. Remember, you will have three days to claim your prize once the hop ends. I will try and contact you if I can otherwise please check back by Thursday to see if you are the winner. (If left unclaimed, on Friday I will pick a new winner.) Good Luck to all!

*I am not responsible for damaged, lost or stolen prizes. I mail at the PO and will have proof of mailing it to you. However, whatever happens from that point is beyond my control.

Remember, if you would like to be eligible for the sponsor giveaway (Grand Prize) start at the Fiskafriends blog, follow the instructions there but be sure to leave one comment on this post. At the end of the hop I will use "Randy" to choose a name (international hoppers are included too) and turn it in. For details on how they pick the winners from the names all the blogs turn in, please see the Fiskafriends Blog for their details. 

Everyone (International visitors also), did you comment on yesterday's post (Day 1)? If you did, do not comment again. If you didn't, although the comments are closed for my individual prize for that day, scroll down and leave one comment so you will be entered in for the Grand Prize. 

Thanks for hopping by but now it is time for you to hop on over to another wonderful Fiskafriend, Cindy deRosier, #4113.

  4. Susan, another great card, as usual! I especially like how you used patterned paper for the balloon. I also like the mixing of prints. These two go together so well.
