Elisabeth Bell Blog Hop!!

Hi Everyone!!

Its almost the weekend!!  Can you believe its February already, where did January go!!  Anyway I'm not complaining, the days are getting a little longer, Spring will almost be here!!

Enough waffle, got something much more exciting to talk about!  We have another brand new digi release from the pen of the fabulous Elisabeth Bell!!  You will love her.  She is called "Miss You, Love You" which you can get right now at the Digital Gallery.  

As always we are having a blog hop to celebrate!  You should have arrived here from the super talented Carla!  If you get lost head back to the Digi Bells blog to start from there!  Here is my card:

 

I really enjoyed making this card!  I love the new image and I have used my favourite colours!  I decided to add some flowers and gems, together with some lace ribbon and another heart from my friend Lisa.  It has a slightly vintage feel I think.  

I do hope you like it.  You now need to hop on over to the gorgeous Julie who I am sure has an amazing project to show you!  

The hop will run until 9am Arizon Time on Friday 8 February.  Leave a comment on each DT blog and on the Digi Bells blog to be in with a chance of winning this gorgeous image!

New Release and Blog Hop!!

Hi All!!

I am super excited today!  Gorgeous Kerry over at Ladybug Crafts Ink invited me to join in as guest designer for their brand new release today!!  Of course I said yes!  The chance to be a Ladybug just one more time was just too good pass up!!  I miss those girls!

Anyway, the new release is just up my street!! The collection is called "Killer Heels"!!

So onto business.  There are lots of ways to win prizes, all the details are below.  You should have arrived here from my gorgeous blogging buddy Laurie.  If you are lost then head back to the challenge bog here.  So here is my card!!

I tried something a little different.  I wanted to keep to a simple style and layout and let the image do the talking!  Don't you just love those shoes!!  

When I first saw the image I immediately thought the fabric on both the shoes and the top of the bag would be made of silk and I decided on different colours of pink. The rolled flowers would also be in silk and very dimensional.  You can't really tell from the photo but the bag is covered in glamour dust.  I have a bag like this which is full of sequins and I got my inspiration from that!  I thought that a black and white background card would be a good combination with the pink.  I do hope you like it and that I have done the image justice!  

So onto the rules of the hop:

1. Leave a comment on each of the DT posts as you hop;

2. Collect the letters from some of the DT and email lcichallengeblog.aol.com with the word they spell (ps they are mixed up);

3. Leave a comment on the challenge blog letting us know which image you like best;

 4. Display the badge in your side bar to spread the word (you can get the badge from my side bar). 

 The winner of the hop will receive all 6 of the new digi images .. and 5 runners up will receive 1 image each.

Not only can you do the hop and win a prize .. but there is also have a normal challenge running too and the theme this week is:

 "GIRLY/FEMALE"

the prize will be a Cling stamp from Ladybug Crafts Ink.

Right I think that is it!!  You now need to hop on over to the super talented Julie, I am sure she will have something very special!! 

Have fun!  I am off to the do the hop now myself!

Love and Hugs

Ladybug Crafts Ink Christmas Blog Hop!

Merry Christmas everyone! 


Well ok not for another 6 months but it is the Ladybug Crafts Ink Christmas Blog Hop!  Woohoo!!  Its so exciting!  Grab a cuppa this is a long one!

We are having a blog hop today to celebrate the release of a brand new set of Christmas Stamps from the fabulous Kerry!  There are 4 stamp sets in total and you will LOVE them all! There will be lots of chances to win a prize but more of that later. 

First of all you should have arrived here from the gorgeous Tams. To start from the beginning head back to the Challenge blog.  After me you need to head over to the fabulous Anita.

 

I was given "Sledding Fun" to play with and boy I had a lot of fun! The inspiration for my projects today came from the Rosemary Merry retreat I did back in April.  This is my first:

 

It was pretty difficult to photograph this but I hope you get the sense of it. Not sure what you call it!  I layered up my card and then made a pocket for all my tags to add to the centre of the card. The pocket is made from several pieces of thick card which I made leaving 3 openings for the tags. You could leave secret messages on these if you wish!  Then I added one of the sentiments from the stamp set and then of course the image.

So a blog hop wouldnt be complete without a second project from me!  Here it is:

I had a whole other project lined up!  I was doing a small canvas project but it all went wrong at the last minute!  So did this Christms notebook instead, which does look much better in real life! 

I hope you like both of my projects! I had a lot of fun making them.  None of the DT have seen each other's projects so I can't wait to see what everyone else has done! So now, onto the details!

The first chance you have of winning a prize is by doing the hop.  Here are the rules:

• Visit each of the DT members in order and leave a comment on each of their blog hop posts.
• Leave a comment on the challenge blog stating which is your most favourite of the new images once you have finished the hop. 
• Display the blog hop banner (which is on my side bar) on your blog, either in a post or on your side bar.

The First Prize is the full set of all 4 stamps and then 5 runners up will receive one stamp of their choice from the new release. Winner and runners up will be chosen at random!

The second chance of winning a prize is to take part in the challenge this week is has been set by the uber talented Amanda and it is:

"Christmas in June"

So you have 2 ways to win a prize .. you can just play along with the hop or enter the challenge .. and for the brave you can do both!

And if you don't win.. you can still enjoy the stamps at a discount price as the stamps will be on sale from today from the LCI Store for £5.50 ( Normal RRP £6.50) till 5th July.

Phew!  Are you still with me!  I hope I haven't forgotten anything otherwise Lisa will be on the warpath!  Don't forget you now need to head over to Anita.
Have lots of fun! 

Love
