Stampendous and Graphic 45 Papers Blog Hop

Welcome to the Friday finale hop with the Stampendous team while we have been on an adventure Beneath The Sea.

Hop that you have enjoyed hanging out with us this week, we, the design team, had a great time with our goodies from Graphic 45, we love getting these kinds of products to play with for catalog time.

Before I jump into my project, know that this hop comes with prizes and all you really need to know is that you can comment on the blog posts that happened this week and you are automatically adding an entry for some fabulous Stampendous and Graphic 45 goodies. Details are on the Stampendous blog!

Here is my siren card for the hop today. I had a great time putting this together with all the stamps, dies and paper that are part of the three prize packages up for grabs (remember to look on the Stampendous blog for the details.)

While the instructions are all at the end of my post, here are a couple of close up shots of the card.

Here is the master hop list, enjoy and we'll see you next week (there is a new hop with prizes in store)
