<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Saturday! Thank you for hopping today with us, “Hopping Just for the Fun of it”! Our theme today is “Anything but a Card.” Plan on visiting us each month to get great ideas for you next project! Our hops are the first Saturday of the Month. You may of come from our first stop, Cynthia Ferenz’s blog, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.stampindragon.blogspot.com/">Stampin’ Dragon</a></span>. I happen to be Stop #2 this month!</p>
<p>I decided to create a scrapbook page using My Digital Studio. Since I get so many comments that I don&#39;t put myself in my own scrapbook pages...here&#39;s to you..I mean me!</p>
<div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00e54ef4bfcb88330168e6a1ad3b970c" id="photo-xid-6a00e54ef4bfcb88330168e6a1ad3b970c" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 460px;"><a href="http://www.raissastamps.com/.a/6a00e54ef4bfcb88330168e6a1ad3b970c-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false"><img alt="Summertime splendor-001" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00e54ef4bfcb88330168e6a1ad3b970c" src="http://www.raissastamps.com/.a/6a00e54ef4bfcb88330168e6a1ad3b970c-500wi" style="width: 460px;" title="Summertime splendor-001" /></a></div>
<p>For this page I used My Digital Studio, selected the 12 x 12&quot; blank page layout. I used Perfect Plum Villa Designer Series for the background paper, and the stamp from the Greatest Moments stamp set. Whisper White photo mats and basic black drop shadows.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi there! If you&#39;ve popped on over from<strong> <a href="http://www.inkedx2.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Robbie Rubala&#39;s Inkedx2</a> </strong>I&#39;m happy you stopped by! If you&#39;ve come to my blog on your own outside of the hop you can start from the very beginning by <a href="http://su-stars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>clicking here.</strong></a></p>
<p>We&#39;re all about Ebony &amp; Ivory this month! Due to my limited schedule lately I&#39;ve made one card for this hop. So this will be short, but hopefully sweet!</p>
<p>For as long as I can remember I&#39;ve always liked the simple elegance of black and white cards. But I thought I would add a little pop to this card, since after all it is a Valentine!</p>
<div class="photo-wrap photo-xid-6a00e54ef4bfcb88330162ffebf7d7970d" id="photo-xid-6a00e54ef4bfcb88330162ffebf7d7970d" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 440px;"><a href="http://www.raissastamps.com/.a/6a00e54ef4bfcb88330162ffebf7d7970d-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false"><img alt="PSIloveyou" class="asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00e54ef4bfcb88330162ffebf7d7970d" src="http://www.raissastamps.com/.a/6a00e54ef4bfcb88330162ffebf7d7970d-450wi" style="width: 440px;" title="PSIloveyou" /></a></div>
<p>I even stamped the envelope...which for those of you who know me, know that I hardly do that! Will wonders ever cease?!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its a happy day - I&#39;ve actually posted! If you&#39;ve popped on over from <strong><a href="http://www.denisefoor.blogspot.com" target="_blank" title="Denise Foor&#39;s Studio PA">Denise Foor&#39;s Studio PA</a> </strong>I&#39;m happy you stopped in! If you&#39;ve come to my blog outside of the hop you can start from the very beginning by <a href="http://su-stars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>clicking here.</strong></a></p>

This is a home décor piece that is dual purpose. <strong></strong>During the holidays it can be used as a glowing centerpiece and after the holiday, you can put your favorite pictures in it!</p>
<p>The poinsettia pieces can be used as accents on other items throughout your house!</p>
