It's Hippity Hoppity Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sentimental Sundays “Celebrate Summer” blog hop. Did you know that the 21st June is the official first day of summer in the northern hemisphere!!! I wish I was there right now, because it's getting rather chilly here in Tasmania... Yep I'm in the Southern Hemisphere!! brrrr..... anyway, this week we have a awesome theme for you it's Summery or Sparkly!! So how are you liking the super massive blog hop so far??  Do you need another cup of Coffee yet?? LOL
You should have arrived here from Elena (Did she blow you away for what??) If you didn't come from there, and just ventured here from somewhere else, and you would like to join in the hop, then please start at the HERE 
For my card this week, I have made an Easel card, with a little bit extra!!  Of course I've used Tilda - she is my favourite, and she is munching away on some scrumptious strawberries... yum so here she is I hope you love it as much as me!!


Here is a bit of a side view so you can see the "extra" bit hehehehe it was fun making my easel card just a wee bit different!!


We hope you will join in our “Summery or Sparkly” (plus a sentiment of course!!) challenge this week. Our sponsor is the marvelous Ann Vento of Rain Drop Echo Designs. This prize will be four INDIVIDUAL sentiment sets from the Raindrop Echo Designs Whimsy Stamps Digital Collection, how fantastic is that???
Your next stop on the hop is Janne and I bet she has something super awesome for you!!  If you happen to get lost along the way, you can find the full blog hop list over HERE. 

Don't forget to leave comments along the way because there are 3 mystery DT members who will each choose a winner from the comments left on their blog hop posts. The winners will each win a $10 gift certificate to Whimsy Stamps! Again - how fantastic is that???
