The great big blog hop!!

Hi everyone! 
It's Blog Hop time at  Digibells ! Woohoo!
If you arrived here today from Linda's blog you're in the right place! If not, then we have a great blog hop going on over at Digibells this week, starting off today at 9 AM, ARIZONA TIME ( 7hrs behind the UK!) 

This month Elisabeth has created two gorgeous digi images which are just adorable, "Lil Lils" and "Mary Lou Sweet Tooth Fairy" - just gorgeous!  This is one of my favourite shapes at the moment, half a card folded in half and one of my favourite Marianne Design dies. The papers and flowers are yet again from the Pretty Sweet CD and my little ticket sentiment is from the Candy Doodles CD we re-released just recently. I really like this card, it's so pretty!

You have 2 chances to win one of these lovely digi's so read carefully! ...

1.To be in with a chance of getting your mitts on this image, you must hop through and  leave comments on EACH team member's blog. To improve your chances to win Lynda will pick 2 blogs at random that the winners  will be picked from in the comments - so do make sure you leave a comment on each blog! You have until March 30, 2012 at 9 AM (Arizona time) to leave comments. The winners will be picked and posted to the  Digibells blog  on Saturday March 31, 2012.

2. The second way to win will be to do the hop as above, leave comments and then to make a card and post it on the  Digibells blog. Your theme must be " Flowers" and you can use ANY Elisabeth  Bell image. This challenge will also end on March 30, 2012 at 9 AM Arizona Time and the winner will be posted on the Digi Bell's blog the next morning. (Saturday March 31)

In addition I have also decided to do my own blog candy to give you some extra incentive - so once you've left a comment on all the team blogs AND the Digibells blog you need to come back here, follow my blog and leave me a comment - I will select THREE lucky people to EACH win THREE free CD- roms, one Candy Doodles, one Pretty Sweet and one Pretty Tuff - worth £45!! (approx $80)...my closing date for these comments is also 30th March and I will announce it here.  I WILL be checking that you left comments on all the blogs and that you followed me and if you don't then you won't be included in the draw so please make sure you follow the rules!!

So, you have 2 ways to win and also a chance to win by leaving me a comment too! So make sure you get in quick and don't miss the deadline - I know lots of you Polkadoodlers already have Elisabeth Bell stamps anyway, so come on, get creating!.....Good luck everyone - keep reading to the bottom of this post to get your next hop link!...


Now you need to head on over to the very talented Janneke's blog where she has more inspiration and make sure you leave her a comment too!.. 

Chasing shadows...

I remember the first time I heard that phrase and nearly died laughing...never heard it in my life before that!  Anyway, this week I kind of get it because I think I may spontaneously combust!...
I've been mega busy over the past few weeks leading up to a brand new product launch - anyone at the GNPE show at Harrogate this weekend will see the fruits of my 16 hour almost sleepless days of working my fingers to the bone...I'm in the nervous pre-launch phase where I'm always scared to death no-one will like it but I'm sure you will!
I am so excited to be at Harrogate this week because we have the very fabulous and funny Leonie Pujol joining me at the demo table for the weekend!! Woohooo!! I'm looking forward to seeing what craftiness she comes up with, no doubt it will be totally fab and I guarantee there will be mucho hilarity I think! But I will be working her "dead 'ard"!...and I just know I am going to have the thickest northern accent of my life by the time we get to Sunday night!
As if that wasn't enough excitement for one week (I may be back in the cardiac unit at this rate!) you will see me on your screens next Wednesday 21st March at 9pm on Ideal World to launch a new Pick of the Day - there is some fabulousness coming your way! It's top secret right now but we have LOADS of mega deals and new stuff you may not have seen....ohhh I'm saying way too much already....AND I will also be launching the new Polkadoodles CD on the Pick of the Day shows too - so it's a double whammy! I'll be there Wednesday night and all day Thursday between Ideal World and Create and Craft so I do hope you'll join me and keep me sane over the day!
AND as if THAT wasn't enough either, I am then back on Create and Craft at 8am Fri 23rd with a brand new Kuretake show launching some absolutely fab products you will LOVE and I'll be getting a little messy I think for a change!! In fact you'll get some sneaky peeks at Harrogate too if you're there! So whether you're a cardmaker OR a scrapper you will LOVE this show!!
So all in all a rather busy week and I don't know what to do first other than tell you all what I'm up to and why I've been AWOL the past 2 weeks! I will now see you on the other side sometime Sat 24th after I've woken up from an impending collapse I think!! Have fun! xx
