Create With TLC Blog Hop - Children's Day

Good morning!  The time we've all been waiting for is finally here!  It's time to hop with Create With TLC!   Today, we have a fun blog hop filled with fabulous creations to inspire you!  The theme for the hop is "Celebrate Children's Day".  Paulette has generously provided gorgeous freebies for you to pick up at every stop on the hop.  If you arrived here from Marsha's wonderful blog, you are in the right place.  If not, you'll want to head back to the Create With TLC blog and start the hop from there so you don't miss any of the team's gorgeous creations or the fantastic freebies!


Here is the wonderful image I got to create with:


To download it for yourself, click on the image, then right click and choose "Save as..." and save it to your computer.


Here is my card using Childhood Imaginary Journey:




My card base and mats are GKD Red Hot and the fun childhood-inspired patterned papers are from the October Afternoon Sidewalks 8x8 pad.  I printed the cute image onto Neenah Solar White and colored it with my Copics.  I added a bit of sparkle to the rocking horse with Red and Eucalyptus Stickles.  The sentiment is also from Create With TLC.  It is from the Cowboy Up set which you can find in Paulette's store here.  A double-loop gingham bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:




Thanks for hopping by!  From here, your next stop is Lisa Lynn's blog.  I know she has something amazing to share with you!   Enjoy the rest of the hop!

If you get lost along the way, here is the whole hop list to get you back on track:


My card is also for Friday Sketch Challenge #27.


Have a great day and hope to see you soon!
