Sassy Studio Designs May Release Blog Hop

Welcome to Sassy Studio Designs May Release. If you got here from Regan's blog then you are on the right track (the full hop list is below for reference).

The theme for this month's blog hop is Flowers. We were asked to use flowers in our projects and post what our favorite flower is. My favorite flower is the Daisy. I love how pretty these flowers are. They always remind me of my older sister's wedding since this was her flower. And of course, her wedding was beautiful.


Please leave a comment on the Sassy Studio Designs Blog Hop Post to have a chance to win the grand prize of 3 of the brand new images. There will also be a chance to win 1 image each for 2 other people from the comments left on all the DT blogs. You never know which blog will have the winners, so make sure you leave comments on everyone's blogs. You will have until Wednesday night to enter since we have such a long hop list.

Here is the card I created using the new Katniss The Girl on Fire image, inspired by "The Hunger Games." Isn't this image just beautiful!
