With all that said - LET'S HOP!!!! Riley style!

Our next door neighbor had a beautiful baby girl a few months back - and her name is RYLEE! No kidding! So I decided to use Bouncy Ball Riley to make a photo frame for her!

I used a simple frame/gift card holder from Creative Impressions and covered it with Mulberry paper. (If you can't find the frames - let me know, Stamper's, Ink. has them.)

Next I used Nesties (What would we do without them??) to make a medallion for the front, trimmed up with pearls, flowers and ribbon in baby's hair. I put a photo in the inside, added a couple flowers and her name and viola! Beautiful frame for a beautiful girl!!!!!

I hope you enjoyed Sneak Week!

Your next stop on the blog hop is the ever talented and beautiful Cathy Edgar!

Come back and see us when you are done!

It's so easy to put a stamped image in a photo, and the new Riley images are perfect for just such a trick!

Simply print a photo, stamp where you want the image to be, and stamp it again on a seperate piece of paper. Cut out the image on the paper and insert it into the photo! I even put a little tropical shirt on our sailor!

Papers are by Kaisercraft, as are the flowers and embellishments. Enjoy and don't forget to check out our designer's blogs for more sneak peeks at the new release!

Cathy has always liked the 3-2-1 challenges and it really doesn't matter what you choose for your parts as long as you use 3 of one thing, 2 of another thing, and 1 of another. Clear as mud huh?!?

For the sample above, Cathy used 3 different cardstock, 2 buttons, and 1 ribbon.You could use 3 buttons or brads, 2 flowers and 1 ribbon. See, it really doesn't matter as long as you use 3-2-1

Have fun and lets see what you come up with!!!
