That is how we can "Leap around the World"! 

So, without further ado, here is the sketch from Let's Scrap that I am showcasing for the hop.

I have 2 examples I have created with this sketch to share with you. 

This card will be given to my BFF as a thanks for all she has done for me lately.

~~CHANCE 1 for my draw~~

*Be or Become a member of Let's Scrap which you can do by clicking http://letsscrap.ning.com/. It is free, simple to do and once you get there, I am sure you will love it!!

*Become a follower of my blog. I always love making new friends!

*Leave me a comment and let me know what color you use the most when scrapping/card making

(We are finding that using Google Chrome or Firefox as your internet browser is the best option as Internet Explorer or IE does not always "play nice" with Blogger)!

~~CHANCE 2 for my draw~~

*Create a card (or layout if you wish) from the sketch I have posted and upload it into the gallery at Let's Scrap. You can do this from your "My Page" and adding photos. When you upload it, there will be a place to insert a tag. Please tag your card from this sketch as such

Please note LEAP is all capitals and there is no space between LEAP and 1. Also, don't forget the comma.

*Leave a comment with a link to your card on Let's Scrap. If you need help with linking, you can find instructions here http://letsscrap.ning.com/forum/topics/how-to-copy-and-paste-a-page-link

PLEASE NOTE-the card needs to be newly created for the hop

Doing more than 1 card for my stop will not get you more chances at my candy, but no worries! With 50 hosts with 50 different sketches, you should have plenty to keep you busy! All winners will be drawn at random, so don't be shy! No matter what level of card maker you are, you will still have a chance to win! So clear off your desk and grab your scraps, there is a serious amount of cards to be created!! Don't worry, you don't HAVE to do all 50 cards! If you only have time for a couple, that is fine. You will get the second chance in the drawing for the blogs that you did create a card for.

The hop begins at 10:00 am Central standard time February 1, 2012 and will end at 11:59 pm February 29, 2012 Central standard time. This is the time zone that the main page of Let's Scrap uses, so you can always check there for reference.

All 50 winners will be announced March 3, 2012 in the Let's Scrap forum and after that announcement, each host will also be announcing their winner on their individual blogs.

THANKS FOR VISITING AND LEAVING ME SOME BLOG LOVE!! 

Your next stop is the super talented, inspirational paper artist and fellow Design Team member
