A Very Special Blog Hop

This is a VERY special blog hop!  We are celebrating the part 2 release of SSD's "It's A Small World" Honey images, but today we also celebrate Lindsay's birthday!!! For those of you who don't know, Lindsay is our fearless leader at SSD.  She is the talent who creates and draws Sassy Studio's fabulous images!!   You should have arrived here from Rebecca's blog.  If you didn't, please go back to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to start the hop at the beginning.  It's a big hop with lots of fun activities and fabulous creations! 

There will be several things going on during this hop...#1- you will get to see the brand new country images that are available in the SSD Store today- Japan, France, China, India, the Phillipines, and the Netherlands.. Each card will have a special birthday greeting for Lindsay in the language of the image.   #2- you have a chance to win a fabulous prize by solving a mystery message for Lindsey.  Each blog will feature two letters that you need to collect to solve the puzzle.  #3- we will be having a trivia contest during the hop- there will be 10 questions and the person who answers the most questions correctly will win a prize!  Those questions will be on the SSD Blog! 

So, without further adieu, here is my card featuring the fabulous Japan Honey image.



I didn't like the way the birthday greeting looked on the outside of the card, so I put it on the inside here:


Happy birthday, Lindsay!!  I hope you have a day as fabulous as you are!

Your next stop on your around-the-world trip is Shari's blog.  Just in case you get lost, here is the entire blog hop list.  Have fun!!!
