Let’s Go To The Hop {with a Blog Tart!}…
Hey…I warned you last month that I was addicted to hops, so there shouldn’t be any surprised people out there reading this! 
This time I am hopping along with the Skipping Stones Design crew. Have you seen their stamps? Quite cute and funny! I really like the sentiment “May your coconuts never hang lower than your grass skirt” from the Tropical Birthday set…cracks me up!
As far as the hop goes…
It started HERE at the Skipping Stones Design blog.
You should have come from Chelsea’s blog HERE and when you leave my blog you will hop on over to Belinda’s HERE {I’ll link her down below, too}. As you hop along, the Skipping Stones Design Team (aka the Stamp Tramps) will have blog candy for you to enter. As an added bonus, there will also be 4 stamp sets (new stamp sets not yet released) will be hidden along the hop, but we’re not telling you where so be sure to leave some love as you hop!!! Make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! The winners will be announced on Friday January 8th at Skipping Stones Design.
Guess what? I also have a set to give away! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. A winner will be drawn and announced sometime next week. Sorry to be so vague about “next week,” but with baby boy coming TOMORROW, I am sure that you can give me a break just this once 
So, onto what I have created for the hop! This card uses the set, Cupcake Cutie. Ellie has even enjoyed coloring in a couple of these cupcakes. Now that I think of it, I should have photo’d her work and posted it along with mine! Taking note of that as something to do in the future. Anyways, here it is {and that’s not DP, I created the kraft/white paper with a stamp from the set}…
Detail shot…
Don’t forget to leave some love here for a chance to win a Skipping Stones Design set from me and then hop on over to Belinda’s blog HERE. Happy hopping and shopping…all stamp sets are 25% off Tuesday and Wednesday this week when you enter the coupon code 25off.
Either me or Tony will be back later this week with updates and pics of baby boy del Muro! Thanks to everyone for their love and support!!

Good luck tomorrow! Can’t wait to see pics of the newest addition to your family.
January 5, 2010, 10:22 am
So delicious, Jen! Love these colors, shapes, and textures…my fav is the way you tucked the ribbon!
Blessings to you and yours upon the birth of your sweet baby boy! I hope your labor and delivery go easy peasy!
January 5, 2010, 10:28 am
Darling card, Jen. I just got that large scallop punch for Christmas and can’t wait to use it! Can’t believe baby is almost here!! Remember when you first told us you were preggers. Can’t wait to see the pictures!!! Take it easy with the c-section. Stairs will be a bear for the first few days. It’s a step together, step together motion and not a one at a time process. No driving for a while either…you’ll be amazed how much is attached to your abdomen and talks to you loudly when you move the first few weeks. In the event Ellie gets her nose out of joint at your not being able to pick her up (my daughter did), show her your “boo-boo” (i.e. incision). It was amazing how a visual made so much sense to my daughter when words just wouldn’t register in her little mind. Blessings!
January 5, 2010, 10:36 am
I love your card and I especially love how you stamped the kraft paper….it looks fabulous!
