Pro 31 Designs Blog Hop June 1st - 3rd 2012

Welcome friends!!

You are in for a treat today!!
So why don't you grab yourself a Fresh Glass of Lemonade, and sit back and enjoy the Grand Opening of 

Pro 31 Designs 
and our Blog hop!!

I have three wonderful give aways for you today, but first

 let me show you some of my creations I have created using 

Pro 31 Designs Goodies.

My Fresh Lemonade Card

using embellishments from Pro 31 Designs, Vintage Ephemera and Digital papers from Gecko Galz.  Digital stamp from Chris Stern. Seam Binding I won from Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge # 47 (actually I won a $10 gift certificate..yummy)!!

See the two gorgeous clear crystal flower beads in the photo below?  Well that is really only one flower bead :0).  That is when things for my card started to come together.  "When life gives you lemons....create some lemonade"...LOL.  The one crystal flower was broken in half and I was so bummed!!  So I thought, hey..I will just tuck it under some flowers, offset a champagne pearl for the center to make it look "whole."   I will be saving my card for when one of my friends is not having such a great day!  Hopefully it will cheer them up!

Here you can see the fabby Pink and Yellow Blingy Bling mesh that I used from Pro 31 Designs.  I used the Pink Mulberry Roses, Champagne pearls, May arts leaf trim, Clear Crystal Flower beads and Crystal wheat sprays all from Pro 31 Designs!

All the lemons, glass of lemonade, vintage pin up girl and Fresh Lemonade image are all part of the Gecko Galz June ephemera set "Lemonade".  Below you can see the frame digital stamp that I purchased from Chris Stern.  I simply changed the ouline of the edges and stripes to pink, and place a Gecko Galz digital paper (lemon squeezy)behind it.  I left the center frames black to set off the vintage image.  

Since I used some bling, I will be entering this card into the
