Cows Verses Horses Blog Hop July 15, 2012

Welcome to today's blog hop. Today celebrates 2 special holidays: LOVE A COW DAY and NATIONAL HORSE DAY so to celebrate some very talented crafters have come together to show off their work and to pick their favorite animal: horse or cow. Have fun seeing the projects that revolve around these two wonderful animals as well as find out who is our winner in Cows Verses Horses Blog Hop!

Jearise over at http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com is our hostess today and she is giving the digital black and white stamps of the horse and cow pictured on our blog button. All you have to do is become a follower of hers and hop through leaving a comment on the other crafter's blogs as well as hers.

Peter Pan vs. Captain Hook Blog Hop 7/12/2012

Welcome to Neverland. Where is Neverland you ask-it's in the minds of children - "second star to the right and straight on till morning" and from afar, these stars depict Neverland in the distance. The Darling children, Wendy and her brothers are whisked away to the magical world of Neverland with the hero of their stories, Peter Pan. Peter Pan, who takes them to Never Land, where there is an ongoing war between Peter's gang of rag-tag runaways and the evil Pirate Captain Hook is taking place. The novel Peter Pan mentions that there are many more suns and moons there than in our world, making time difficult to track, and that the way to find the time is to find the crocodile, as there is a clock inside it. The crocodile is also a nemesis to Captain Hook who lost his leg thanks to this crocodile. Now Captain Hook is also Peter Pan's nemesis ..... Its adventure and the story of a boy who never wants to grow up .... hmmmmmmm, ok. not commenting on that! LOL!!!

Our sponsor for this hop is Lisa Peters of Scrapping with Lisa's Designs, http://scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/ who is offering a $20 certifcate towards free paper piecing files --- free is always good!!!

We're so happy you joined us at the jungle today to frame our special little ones and know you can think of people that would look adorable set in this frame or even for a baby shower gift!!!

Lisa is again, offering two (2) lucky winners a free file from her store by remarking on each stop along the way of the elephant walk!

My project is a chipboard picture frame that I put a picture of my favorite little peanut, my grandson, Maxwell, in it.

I also wanted to honor a guest dt member for this hop. It is Rhonda's (aka Blue Crayons) aunt Ruth. Here is her project.

Very nice job Ruth, I love your frame.
Feature Attractions: BFF is the next project that will be presented by Scrapping with Lisa's Design Team on July 23, 2012. See you there and don't forget to leave your comments!!!! Ya alll come back 'ya hear!
