Top of the Morning - Whimsy December Blog Hop

Hard to believe December is here already, isn't it?  Time is quickly flying by but the one thing I always look forward to is the new digi images released every month at Whimsy Stamps and a blog hop to showcase them plus there's a chance to win some images!  So now's the time to take a little break from the baking, shopping, cleaning and holiday planning and enjoy the hop

The hop starts today and runs for one week,  Thursday December 08, 2011 at 12 Noon EST.

To have a chance at winning, you need to leave a comment on each of the design team blogs as you hop because there are two random blogs among the DT posts who each will select a comment and the winner will get to choose a digi of their choice.  The Grand Prize winner of the hop will receive 5 new digital stamps of their choice from Whimsy.  And it's a good time... the team has come up with some fabulous inspiration for you to check out plus you get a look at the new digis for the month which will be available in the store today at 10:00.  I'm the first stop on the hop and you arrived here from the Whimsy Inspiration blog.  In case you lose your way, simply go back to the Whimsy Inspiration blog for the hop order.

So... onto the card!  This fella is one of the new releases and is named Top of the Morning - I never look that perky or happy on some of these cold mornings!  The patterned paper is Imaginisce's Polar Expressions which has been in my sash for quite awhile.  The narrow strip is a piece from Bo Bunny's Gabrielle collection and I used Copics to colour the image and sprinkled a little Glamour Dust for the snow.  The sentiment is one from Whimsy's Winter Letter Seals collection and the ribbon was in my last monthly shipment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The snowflakes were cut using Whimsy's Winter Jewel 1 die and then I added some Sparklets from Kaiser Kraft.

Your next stop on the hop is a visit with the talented Sarah.  Enjoy the hop and have fun!
