Second Blog Hop of the Week – Sale-A-Bration

Today, I’m taking part in my second blog hop of the week. This time we are sharing inspiration using items from the current Sale-A-Bration.

You’ll find the complete list (with links) of all those taking part further down this post.

When I first saw the current Sale-A-Bration brochure I immediately fell in love with the Hippest Hippos stamp set. This is because they reminded me of a Disney film (movie) that I saw when I was quite young. I would hasten to add that it had been out for over 20 years when I saw it! The movie, Fantasia, is set to classical music and the section that came flooding back to me is the part set to the Dance of the Hours where Hyacinth Hippo plays the prima ballerina.

Inspired by the film, this is the card that I came up with.

The addition of the umbrellas was inspired by my own ballet lessons. For one exam, we had to dance with a bird cage (made by my mum). No birdcages in the Hippest Hippos stamp set so it’s umbrellas using the coordinating dies (Hippo Dies) for the card!

I hope that my card and the story behind it has made you chuckle. As promised, here is the list of all those taking part in the hop. Have fun checking out all the inspiration.
