Surprise The Pride Hop

Hello My Crafting Buddies, Thanks so much for stopping by today.  First it is with some sadness that I have to say that  our Den mother ~Elsa ~  is unable to prowl with us this month.  Life and family have kept her very busy this past month, which also kept her away from her love ~ crafting!! But rest assured she will be back with us all next month!! We are also without our fellow Lioness ~ Krystal......Krystal has also been forced to sit this hop out due to life and family.....Miss you both....prowling is just not the same without you!! If you just started here please check the bottom of the Link and you will find the Starting Person: Kimi, just click her link and it will take you to the beginning.

This months theme was "surprise the pride" and we are sure to have created some purrrfect projects for you to all pounce on. We love your to come follow other Dens of Scrappiness as you get a glimpse of what awesome talent we have here and get some get idea's at the same time..

The pride had complete creative freedom this month and each of us have kept our projects a secret.  My Project was a Friendship Paper Bag Mini Album. I haven't had the nerve to step outside my box, for me it is hard to cover up what I consider to be nice paper.. So I am asking for good thoughts my way as I venture to this new place..

Hello My Crafting Buddies, Thanks for stopping by today, I would Like to share with you all another Awesome Mini I found.. It was Inspired by:  ----   And I love how it turned out.. I am still figuring out how to Embellish the front cover.. I Love the paper, not really a big fan of Graphic45 but I love all the element's to making a male style mini.. And now I think this is one of my favorite's by them, They don't really have a like it like.. It's really hard to find Companies that Make lots of Item's especially Embellishment's for the male's.. Love all the enter action this many gives you.. So glad you had the time to stop by and check me out. Love to hear your thoughts, comment's or suggestions are appreciated.. As Always...
