Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop! This year’s hops are themed around some of our favorite songs. Today’s hop pulls inspiration from B.B. King’s song “Let the Good Times Roll.” How fun is that?! We’ve created projects that either feature images with wheels (cards, wagons, bikes) or celebrate good times. We are excited to share our projects with you. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I debated on a Rockin’ Party or Nostalgia. And I ended with Nostalgia for my card. In the Spring I always think of where I grew up close to the country and mountains. This brings me to pick -up trucks and fields. So my choice was from the Country Living’ Stamp set. I know I am dating myself in this choice of an old pick-up truck !!
I stamped the truck with Early Espresso and colored it with the Stampin’ Blends. My sentiment is from Beautiful Day and I chose to give it an unexpected direction. I layered it on Pear Pizzaz and adhered it to the Calypso Coral layer. Using my paper snips, I trimmed the ends so it is flush with the layers. I like the different type of banner.
I appreciate you visiting and would love to see your thoughts. Is this a memory from your early years as well? As always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.

Another Paper Pumpkin Special: The March PP was so popular due to the special gift that it sold out. So Stampin’ Up! has offered a great deal to replace that. New Subscribers who sign up before April 10, will receive April and May for half price. So 2 months for the price of 1. A great deal. Use my link HERE, and enter the code: SAVEFIFTY0418
It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team. A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first. Then we get to order and play with the new products a month early. For me, that is one of the best parts of being a SU Demonstrator. Of course, the discount helps! If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.
