It's a Fred, She Said Designs Blog Hop!

     Welcome to the Fred, She Said Designs Blog Hop!  If you've come here from Darsie's blog you're right on track.  If not, you need to start at Tracey's blog so you can join in all the fun.
     Tracey Lynn Miller (that's Fred) has really been cranking out some super images for Christmas.  If you pay a visit to the FSS store, you'll find ornaments, wreaths, and an incredible trio of beautiful Christmas birds.  You can choose black line images or pre-colored ones.
     The blog hop will run through midnight EST on Friday, November 19th and Tracey is offering two great prizes.

(1) $25 Gift Certificate to the Fred, She Said Designs store
(1) $25 Gift Certificate to the CropStop

     The winners will be announced Saturday morning, November 20th.
     All our team members have created a project using the new Christmas digis.  Besides getting to see what we've come up with, each DT member has a secret word on their blog hop post.  Collect all the words in order and on the last stop of the hop, you'll be given instructions on how to e-mail the secret phrase to Tracey so you can be entered into the drawing for the prizes.  Make sure to leave some love along the way too.  :-)  We'd love to hear what you think about the new images.


     I've decided to use the Winter Chickadee image for my card.  There's also a pair of robins and a cardinal in the store.  This is my very first joy fold card.  It was very easy to make even considering that I had to change the measurements from the tutorial I used.  I've watercolored the image and did a good bit of sewing on my mats.  Nothing too fancy on the inside.  I just stamped a little image in the corner.


     Thanks so much for joining in with us for the hop.  Make sure you pop into the store and check out all of the great digi stamps there.

My secret word is
frightful

and your next stop on the blog hop is

Happy Hopping!
