SSD Blog Hop- "It's A Small World After All"!

Welcome to the Sassy Studio Designs July New Release Blog Hop!! You should have arrived here from Rachelle's blog. If you did, fabulous! If not, please go back to the Sassy Studio Designs Blog to start the hop at the beginning. You don't want to miss a thing!

 The theme for this month's hop is "It's a Small World After All".  Lindsey has created 6 beautiful images depicting various countries around the world- the USA, Great Britain, Australia, Mexico, Russia, and Canada- and, as usual, there will be a challenge for you to enter. The challenge will be to create a card using a Sassy Studio Designs image showcasing something about your favorite country- it could be the country you live in, the country your ancestors came from, or a country that you have visited and fell in love with. You will have one week to complete your card and enter by using InLinkz to upload your card to the Sassy Studio Designs Blog. The winner will get ALL 6 of the new images!

OK, now on to my card. I am using the Canada Honey image...and she is one sassy Mountie!

The next stop on your trip around the world is Lori's blog. This is a pretty big blog hop (26 blogs!!) but make sure to leave comments on all of the DT blogs because we will draw 2 random names from all of the comments with each person winning one of the brand new images!

Just in case you get lost on your journey, here is the entire blog hop list:
