The 2008-2009 FCD Design Team Says "Good-bye!"

Hello everyone!! Welcome to the final blog hop for the 2008-2009 FireCracker Designs Design Team! For this blog hop, you will see a collection of good-bye, farewell, so long, Bon Voyage creations that the team is going to be sharing with you.

This will be a circular blog hop. If you're not familiar with the circular blog hop style, the idea is to start wherever you came first! So if you started here on my blog, then you will follow the next link and go through all the links until you've completed the full circle back around to my blog! (there's only 10 of us, so it should be easy to remember where you've started from.)
Here is my "Good-bye" creation:

I think that those of you that know me, know that I just ADORE doxies!! I was so thrilled when Pamela came out with these single clear stamps and made one of them a bigger size doxie image straight from the Pitchin' In set which I have & love as well!! And of course, to fit with our theme for this blog hop, I just "had" to make this fun sentiment generated on my computer to go with it!! I sponged my own clouds in the background, punched the fun white picket fence with the MS border punch and used my Cuttlebug to make a fun texture. I added some shiny confetti hearts to the sentiment panel and in the bottom corner. Of course since my fur baby is a red wiener dog, I had to color this one in that color too!! TEE!!

*speaking of doxies, my dad's dog, Oscar is growing so fast! We had him over at our house last weekend and he was "trying" to play with Mocca, but I think she was worried about him jumping all over the place like puppies do!! Now...did I have a camera? NO!! So hopefully when Oscar comes back to see us, I can take pics of them together!!*

This is a sad post for me to type up, but it's time for me to move out and to someone else to move in...that's how life goes I suppose. I will always be thankful for the friendships that I've made through being apart of Pamela's team and how gracious I am for having a spot on her team! It has been such a pleasure to design with her wonderful images!

Pam has decided to have a Scavenger hunt for a 25% off coupon code for your entire order!!!!!! (excluding magazine orders please) Your letter from my blog is P.

Have fun! Once you've gone all the way around, you'll have all the letters for the code. To unscramble them, put them in order, starting with Pam's blog. (Follow the links from there, to get the correct order for the letters.) This coupon will end on Monday, August 31st at 8:00 PM (EST)...so be sure to use it before then!!


Now, you will need to hop along to the next blog and see my friend Sherri's Blog!
Have fun and thanks for playing along with us!!

Awesome - I love the cloud effect, the little fence punched border, and the shading - it's art like this that makes me realize I'm nowhere good enough to apply for the design team.
