Whimsy & Stars First Blog Hop

Welcome to the first Whimsy and Stars Blog Hop!   You should have arrived here from the Whimsy & Stars Studio blog.  If not, you might want to start at the beginning so that you don’t miss out on anything.
Here is the complete blog hop list in case you get lost along the way.

Cheryl  (You are here!)

The Design Team has been busy  creating beautiful projects with the NEW Spring Release Sets. Make sure you stop at each blog along the way to check out all of the inspiration, and don't forget to leave a comment at each stop! Two random lucky readers will win this week's New Released Digi Stamp design!   Now if that is not enough, Mabelle released a new Digi today, be sure you check it out!   

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait until summer arrives.    Floaty Girl brings to mind warm summer days spent by the pool.   With her cute little pigtails, she reminds me of my daughter when she was younger.

I wanted to add a few freckles but I was running out of time and was afraid that I would make a mistake and “wreck” my image.   What do you think?  Does she need some freckles?

Today Mabelle is releasing new image in honor of the blog hop.  Meet Amelie!  Isn’t she as cute as a button and already to play on the beach?
