Riley's *Going on Vacation* New Stamp Release BLOG HOP!

Can you believe it - the day is finally here!  Riley's Blog Hop has begun
 and I couldn't be more excited to share with you two cards using the new stamps:
Riley is going on Vacation!

It has been so much fun this week of "sneaks" to see
the places Riley and Sophie have visited!

Hopefully you arrived here from the Frances' fantastic blog
- if so, you're on the right track!
If not, start here .   And there is some *great news* today!

1.  There is FREE domestic shipping on any new orders until Sunday night
(use coupon code FREESHIP)
2. All orders placed within the first 24 hours will receive a FREE Swimmer Riley!
3. Purchase the entire set - get a FREE surfer Riley!

Ready to see some fun-tastic Riley? 
He is one adventurous little moose!

First up, we have Waterslide Riley!
He's the perfect addition to making those fun cards and scrapbook pages.
I paired Riley with some summery fun papers from MME and Echo Park,
colored with prismas and kept the inside in the same pattern for special notes :)



Next up, Riley is going hang-gliding!
This is a sport I haven't tried but nearly did ~
In Hawaii, dh and I were given the chance but we opted out
(I *chickened out* and dh was sweet enough to stay in the boat with me, and not even
10 minutes later, guess what we saw in the water - Sharks!  See - women's intuition! LOL!)
But Riley sure is brave and isn't he sweet!
I left the inside blank, too, but can easily see this as a "Hang in there" or
"Flying by with a Hi!" card  - the possibilities are endless!




Thanks for stopping by today! From here, you will hop on over to see what
Heather has made and you won't want to miss it!

  2. Kelly, both your cards are too cute and awesome inside and out (they always are)!! I love these new Rileys!! Your cards are always bright and cheerful and leave me with a big smile on my face. I think I might have to get that waterslide Riley, he reminds me so much of being a kid and going to be place called Wild Waves!
