Yes it’s Birthday time over at Papertake Weekly and if you’ve arrived here straight from the blog then you are in the right place and ready to start the blog hop. If you’ve not come from the blog then do nip over to Papertake and check it all out because there is so much going on today and it would be a shame to miss out.
So our challenge this week was to pick your fave from the last 3 years – that’s a LOT of challenges to choose from - and have another go.
Well I went with Shiny,Sparkly & Special. But I could equally have gone for Ice Cream Flavours cos there is a bit of a Neapolitan colour combi thing going on don't you think????
So this is what I did.
I used my new H&S stamp which arrived last week and ohhhh they are gorgeous. I coloured her with Copics and I sparkled her to within an inch of her sweet life (and yes, I didn't brush the stray bits off which is why it is all over her, poor thing!!)
I used lots of my faves on here, including …..
…. one all but forgotten Martha Stewarts awesome doily punch. How could I not have used this for sooo long??? Slapped trotters Miss Piggy!!. I got it, along with the Copics, from my fab friend, the glam chick that is Tracy at Dies To Die For. I also used some fab and pretty blooms from the one and only Wild Orchid Crafts and some gorgeous pink heart paper from Pink Petticoat cos nobody does pink hearts quite like Liz. The fab Girly Curly sentiment is also from PP.
Ohh I almost forgot that I’d used my brand new Nestabilities ( Beaded Circles) which I also got from T xxx
So that’s my card.
Now as you will know. we all have something nice to give away today and my prize is from the one and only Katharina at
…… the cutest Little Witch you ever did see. Thank you Katharina xxx
And all you have to do is leave me a comment and then make your card and post it on the main blog (or the other way around if you want) and if Mr Random Thing chooses you, this cutie will be off on her broomstick and straight to your door. And if you’d like a few stamped H&S images as well, I guess that could also be arranged xxx
So now you’re ready to continue with the hop and it’s over to the oh so talented and very sweet Debi on the next step of this little journey through the land of blog.
Have the fabbiest of days, enjoy the blog hop and see you soon if not sooner.
Hugs to all xxx
