Pretty Little Studio and Love My Tapes Blog Hop!!

Hello and welcome to the Pretty Little Studio and Love My Tapes Blog Hop! We are combining forces and sharing  projects highlighting Pretty Little Studio whimsical goodness paired with the versatility and trendiness of Love My Tapes. 

During the Blog Hop, you will be visiting blogs from both Pretty Little Studio and Love My Tapes Design Team members. We promise to bring you a hop FULL of inspiration and creativity.

And what’s a Blog Hop without giveaways? Be sure to visit all the blogs, including the Pretty Little Studio and Love My Tapes blogs for a chance to win some PLS and LMT goodies! When visiting the Design Team member’s blogs, be sure and leave comments because many of the Design Team members will also be hosting their own Blog Hop giveaways.

The Hop will start on the Pretty Little Studio blog and end on the Love My Tapes blog, so head on over to the Pretty Little Studio blog if you are just joining in. We will announce the winners of the PLS and LMT giveaways on May 3rd, so be sure to be watching for the announcements.
So let’s get hopping!

Now, you should have just arrived here from Annette's blog. No, that's not a typo. There are two Annettes in this hop! Annette Allen's blog should have been your last stop before arriving here. Just in case you get lost or confused, I've posted the entire lineup at the bottom of this post.

 Many times when I make a project for a blog hop or even a regular design team post, I'm not making it anyone specific. Often, it sits in my pile of cards and other stuff waiting to be given to some deserving recipient. Not this time. I made this card for the hop, but more importantly, I will be giving it to my daughter who turns five next week. She loves princesses, animals and cupcakes. This card has all of that and more!!

Here is the front view:

I love interactive cards and I think my daughter likes them, too. She can't read yet (although she's starting). An interactive card gives her a chance to enjoy it without having to read the words. Last year, I made her a wheel card. This year, she's getting a pop-up card.

Here is the inside of the entire card.

A little closer view of the cute animals. They are celebrating her birthday with her!

Thought you might want a little behind the scenes look at how I got the images to pop up.

And here is a picture of the lucky recipient. (Isn't she cute?!)

Your next stop is Ashley. She has not one, not two, but three projects for you!! Don't forget to leave a comment on everyone's blog! We love your feedback.
