2016badge-blackberryWelcome to the Families First Pals Blog Hop for April 2016.  We are thankful you stopped by!  This month we are featuring projects that are all about our families. This is a great time of year to think about what to make for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or upcoming graduations. And, family vacations are just around the corner… how would you want to remember those special family moments? We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

Congratulations on Your New Job

Awesome adventure awaits whenever you begin a new job. For today’s family-themed blog hop, I have chosen a card I made for a chosen family member (you know friends are the family you get to choose) to congratulate him on his new job.  Here’s the card I made:
