Now, on to some good stuff.

My fifth and final project to share with you is just something little, but cute none the less.  I really had some good intentions of making these cute files into a page border today .. but then my family decided to get out of the house and enjoy the day at the beach.  It was a cool, overcast day, but we had the best time!   My hubby even went digging for clams .. which we will be having for dinner tomorrow night after they are cleaned :)  The bears are designs from Creative Kuts.  I used the "Lets swim boys" pattern for all the paper piecings you see today.

PS - I STILL WILL make this into a border ... just not last night :)  I will post it when I do.

Each day I will be offering a peek at the total grand prize blog candy.  There is one prize for this entire hop.

For Day 2, I am adding the following blog candy:

- The pre-made border that I blogged about yesterday!

This border will fit nicely on the bottom of a 12x12 layout!

For Day 3, I am adding this cute easel card that I made.

For Day 5,  I am adding a $15.00 Gift Certificate to A cherry on top.   This is one of my favorite online stores to shop at for paper!
