The hop is for today only and we have a fun game for you as you hop along, looking at the rest of the DT's terrific projects. Each DT member has a special word on her post and when you put them all together you will see a time-honored little ditty that you are sure to recognize. Collect all the words, then at the end of the hop email your results to Heather. She will have her email in her post.
If you arrived here from Jenn's blog then you are on the right track. To start at the beginning I encourage you to hop over to see Callie.
For the hop I have two cards featuring Tommy. He is an adventurous little guy!! First, you can find him out on the beach with his surf board. Now, I'm a little jealous of Tommy today, because it is only 30 degrees here today and, even though I'm not a surfer, I sure would like to soak up the sun and bury my feet in warm sand!
I colored the image with Copics. This card needed to be really, really bright! I used a 12x12 sheet of scrapbook paper, leaving enough to make a matching envelope. The chipboard letters and the little flowers are from my stash. I used the swirls embossing folder from Cuttlebug for the white paper.
-------------------
On the second card Tommy is exploring space! (I told you he was adventurous!)
Again, the image is colored with Copics and I added some Copic Spica on the stars and planets. The metallic hologram paper provides a lot of stars and sparkle and the card stock has flecks of white, giving it a deep space look. The metal letters spelling "explore" are tags I've had for quite awhile.
Now I'm sure you would like to know what my special word is. It is

Please head on over to Mary's blog to see her fab project and to pick up another special word.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your comments! I know you will enjoy the rest of the hop and don't forget to collect all the special words.
