Fred, She Said Second Blog Hop!

Welcome to the SECOND "FRED SHE SAID" blog hop!!! If you just happened to drop by my blog and you are not aware of this wonderful event taking place, please go back to the "FRED SHE SAID" blog HERE and start your hop!

Please, we would love it if you commented on our posts. Here, at "Fred" we have been getting all FLOWERy to hasten the arrival of SPRING! Come see what PRETTIES we have in store for you!

Also, along the way, you will see a special CODE WORD. Collect them all up! Once you reach the end of the blog hop (which will be the "Fred She Said" Challenge blog, follow the instructions to make your entry and your name will go in for a draw for a $20 Gift Certificate for the Fred She Said Store!

Here is my "Fred She Said" creation using the new image "Lily of the Valley". I printed the image on Whisper White cardstock, then colored with Copic markers, and my sentiment (See'D Morsels) is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. My designer papers are from the new My Mind's Eye "Home" paper pad and I used lace, pearls, grosgain and organza ribbons for my bows. I added tiny peel off butterfly stickers and glitter for my final touches. Card size: 5 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches My card qualifies for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge! (See Sketch Below), and the Pink Elephant.

My special code word is: FRED
