It's been awhile since I've been on a Blog Hop so I headed over to my Savvy Projects Email Account and picked up where I left off!
First I headed over to see what Carol Norby was up to. Before I knew it I found the project shown above with the bible insert! How AWESOME is this! I've never seen anything like it so I had to share!
You can check out more of what Carol has been up to by checking out her blog Carol Norby's Blog I have to say ... check out her black and white designs! LOVE them!
Next I was off to visit Diana Maldonado who, by the way, just makes me smile! Who wouldn't LOVE this little basket of flowers!
And if you are thinking about a 'man' card ... check this out:
I encourage you to stop by and visit Diana as soon as you get the chance. Hey ... like right now! Here's where you can find her Diana Maldonado's Blog
Now ... just a note ... all of the cards and projects look better on the actual blogs that I swiped them from ... so be sure and check them out in person!
Next I was off to visit Pat Genardo at Pat Genardo's Blog Isn't this a cool card! It's not often that you see a red, white and black card and on top of that ... it has such an interesting layout! It grabbed my attention as soon as I laid eyes on it!
And then one of my FAVORITE things I've found on my Blog Hop tonight! Check this out!

So last time I was over on Chris Franco's Blog, I grabbed these two cards and have been waiting to put them on my next Blog Hop. This top one is SOOO one of my FAVORITE'S! Isn't it fantastic!
Okay, this one isn't so shabby either! The crochet doilies remind me of my Grandma O'Farrell. She constantly made doilies and afghans and hats and all kinds of wonderful things. It makes Chris's Blog feel like home, to me.
You can check out more from Chris by visiting her Blog. Chris Franco's Blog
Next I was off to KellyRae Cooper's Blog. Check this out. Ok. Before you get upset ... I know this stamp was last month's SOTM. It's FABULOUS though! And the Black and White paper is a FREE Download on our TAC Home Page. Black & White Paper Download
Now this next card is AWESOME on it's own ... but ... KellyRae hit it out of the park by providing a TUTORIAL to go with it!
Now, for some reason I just couldn't get these photos any clearer. That's okay though. You can check them out in person by visiting KellyRae's Blog. And ... she has all of the instructions for the Tutorial there as well. KellyRae Cooper's Blog
I hope you enjoy these projects and these blogs! Both Chris and KellyRae sent me their information when I did the Blog Hop Call some time back and I'm working my way down the list in the order received. So, if you haven't seen yourself yet keep looking. Unless you didn't send me your link. Then stop looking.
Oh, you'd like to know WHERE to send me your link. Send it to me here: savvyprojects@theangelcompany.net
Here's a tip ... our Savvy Projects readers are especially interested in SIMPLE, SMART and SOPHISTICATED projects and TUTORIALS!
Oh, one more tip ... 300 dpi is the best resolution for me when I need to steal, oops, I mean borrow your images! If you don't have a clue what that means ... don't worry about it! It won't keep you from being featured!

Check out the tutorial for this card on Julie's Blog Julie Griffiths Blog.

Why 'YES YOU CAN' alter your stamps any way you'd like! That's the beauty of our incredible vulcanized rubber and Creative Cling(tm) Cushion!
Ok ... I'll be the first one to admit ... when I saw this card the other day I didn't realize Barb had surgically (I would suggest Kai Mini's for this) removed a feature. Well, I soon got wind of it and my HEAD SPUN! I didn't even notice! LOL! Funny thing is ... I operate on my own stamps!
Take a second peak and see if you notice what's missing! And remember ... all of the Spring Into April Stamp Sets won't be available after April 30th!
Did you notice what was missing! I have to say ... I'm going to perform this exact same surgery! LOVE it!
Way to go Barb!

Are you ready to be WOWed! I was when I started my Blog Hop over at Laurie Willison's Blog and NEVER LEFT! I kept thinking 'Just one more card and then I'll move on'. That so wasn't the case. I quickly and easily fell head over heels in LOVE with Laurie's clean, unique and very sophisticated style.
See for yourself ...
Laurie also has samples of cards she has designed from our FREE Downloadable Papers on our TAC Home Page TAC Black & White Paper FREE Download. Here is just one of the several samples Laurie has featured on her blog.
If you'd like to treat yourself to something wonderful ... visit Laurie's Blog!
Thank you Laurie and Happy Paper Crafting!

I just stumbled upon this card and it's so incredible that I 'accidentally' found it, today of all days! Not more than a couple of hours ago I was presenting the illustration that without change there would be no butterfly.
I just sat down at my computer, clicked on a link in front of me and this is what my eyes beheld. Some people call this coincidence. I happen to have a name for coincidence ~ God.
What a GORGEOUS card Heather! It made my day! If you haven't had the opportunity to visit Heather's blog I encourage you to visit and linger while you are there. You will find much for your eyes to feast upon! Heather Scott's Blog

So I got an email not to long ago from Chris Franco who had done a CPS Challenge. {card positioning system} I soon discovered that a CPS is basically the same thing as a {SKETCH}. You may have known this already, but, I didn't.
So in this Hop I am featuring some of the cards that were featured on Chris' CPS Challenge. This is really cool and I think you'll enjoy seeing what each of the ladies designed. I know I did!
Here is the {cps} that each of the ladies designed from.
The card above as well as this one were both designed by Chris Franco. I MUST say ... I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the card above! And what a GORGEOUS palette! It makes me so happy!
Next is a card designed by Debbie Olson. LOVE this! WOW!
This one is by Kandis Smith. The BLING on the side is so neat!
Melissa Phillips designed this next one. WOOOW! This is amazing! I love Melissa's style!
This is by Lea Lawson. Another GORGEOUS color palette! And LOVE the BLING!
This next one is one of my FAVORITES! I LOVE Winchester. I'm not positively certain but it looks like Chris Franco may have designed it. LOVE the stitching on the side!
This next one is another favorite! It just makes me smile! The designer is Jeanne Streiff.
Now we have a great design by Tami Mayberry.
These next two cards are both designed by Laura Williams.
And we end with another of my favorites. Isn't this darling! LOVE it!
Okay ... so all of the cards featured ... I LOVE! How can you not? Thank you for sharing with us Chris!

I'm working hard to figure out how I can make my Blog Hopping Images show up so you can enjoy them RIGHT HERE! I'm trying something new today so I'm going to be patient and just post a few of my favorite Spring Cards I've found while hopping around!
When I was back at Debra Hensley's Blog I found this GORGEOUS Gerbera Daisy! This is one of our oldest and best selling images and one of my personal FAV's!
Then I back tracked over to Barb Foster's Blog and found this darling card.
While I was on Barb's site I also found THIS! I LOVE IT!
How FUN! I'll be keeping my fingers, and toes, crossed ... hoping all images show up with no problems!
Happy PaperCrafting!

Check out this GORGEOUS card! I SOOOOOO LOVE it! And the story that goes with it is just as FANTASTIC! Debra made herself a birthday card, for her birthday. She had her husband sign it. And give it to her! LOL! My favorite story I've heard all day!

It's one of my FAVORITE past times for sure! Are you ready to check out what I've found!
First, look what I found on Stacy Rogers' blog.
This card is GORGEOUS!
I LOVE this collection and LOVE this GORGEOUS card Stacy made!
CUPCAKES are so hot right now aren't they! And isn't this one CUTE!
Next I found myself at Cynthia De La Torre's blog. First, check out her twins. This is Victoria and Isabella. Aren't they incredibly precious!
Ok. I hear that some of the photos from my blog hop aren't posting! We did some checking and some weren't originally saved as jpegs, which, from my understanding they need to be for my blog. So, I've gone in and dropped in some links for you!
I've got my next couple of blog hops ready to go, however, I may delay them a day or two until we figure this out! Enjoy! Mischelle
Yep. I LOVE Blog Hopping. So how cool was it when I was hopping around and landed over at Vicki Hook's blog. I LOVE the samples Vicki created using our products featured in our Fresh Spring Things Special!
Vicki's Fresh Spring Things Samples
And then I hopped on over to Julie Griffith's blog and look at the darling Baby Projects I found there!
Next I found myself over on Diana Maldonado's blog. Check out this DARLING card! This kitty set is one of my favorites in our new magalogue ~ Serendipity.
And then I ended up over at my dear friend Mabelle Ramirez-Ortiz's blog. Check out how beautifully Mabelle colored these images!
So there you've learned something new about me! I am a blog hopper! I can't wait to hop on over to your blog next!
